... from club to D1 status. I love sailing, but I don't see how that improves their mission, and I expect sailing will be more expensive to them as a D1 sport. Overall, the T&F program may have cost more than the difference between club sailing and D1 sailing, but they aren't eliminating a lot of the T&F/XC costs, because the buses will still be driving the women's team to the meets.

The blowback Brown is receiving is well justified. And given the current national focus on race, the diversity angle doesn't help Brown either.
