How many sports?

And at what cost?

On more than a few occasions, we’ve talked about reviving sports that had been cut (crew, men’s tennis and swimming) and even adding sports (hockey, bowling, beach volleyball). Yeah, we covered a lot of stuff.

But recently we wrote about how the entire rowing staff was “stepping down” and how Pat Hobbs stated that there would be a “national search” for a new coach. And I posited that, perhaps, this might be the start of an upgrade to the Olympic sports.

But not everyone was in agreement that Hobbs should even bother.
