More Colleges Cut Men's Teams To Shift Money to Women's Athletics.
Naughton, Jim
Chronicle of Higher Education, v43 n24 pA39-A40 Feb 21 1997

Since 1982, over one-third of colleges sponsoring wrestling have dropped their programs and men's gymnastics teams have decreased by half. Still, one study indicates only 10% of institutions are in compliance with federal law. (MSE)
