Swimming usually has a larger roster size than diving though.
It make perfect sense, the more I think about it. Keeping diving allows them to keep up their number of sanctioned sports so that their D-I status is safe, but at the same time, it's a sport that costs little more than scholarships since they just practice with the women.
THey said they were restructuring the spirit program when they dropped cheer, so I think all of the spirit squads were separate. Very few schools have cheer as a sport.
Yes, our competitive cheer team at Maryland is totally seperate from the spirit squad. It isn't simply a matter af annointing them as a "team." The OCR laid out the criteria we had to meet for them to consider competitive cheer a team for the purposes of title ix: scheduling, scholarships, coaching,etc. And they don't show up on the sideline for games.

The University of Miami did the same thing a couple of years ago. I gives them another team with minimal investment. Without digging into the NCAA Manual I don't know how or if the scholarships are seperated out like Cross Country is if it is a stand alone team without Track and Field.

Couple stories posted on both the IM blog and the SaveASUwrestling page. Facebook group was started around 1 p.m. and by 5:35 (Eastern), it's up to over 300 with nearly 2,100 invites sent out today, in four and a half hours alone.
TheMat.com and InterMat have linked to the SaveASUwrestling page as major news items.
I don't know what good it will do but I have e-mailed every ESPN talk radio show begging for them to give this story some air time. Maybe if we all send an email it will actually get a few minutes on the radio or TV. I have to play the sympathy card with Robles but whatever it takes I guess.
