Though the wrestlers shared time in Burr for practices and the baseball team faced the same "lack of facilities" as the just­ introduced softball team, the two programs were cancelled without any forewarning, formal notifica­ tion or a legitimate explanation. Suspiciously, the cancella­ tions bring the athletic depart­ ment into compliance with Title IX. Hmm, makes you wonder doesn't it? Let's just say this. If it weren't for Title IX, we might not have jobs.
