But it\'s relative to the sweet deal they had before. Baseball had the same sweet deal and now they are DEAD DEAD. Rugby doesn\'t have their sweet deal but they are not DEAD DEAD. They have morphed/been demoted to club sport that still is around to get access to a reduced, but significant, Kal AD support. Heck, this whole analysis came from the Kal boards sorting out the impact when the news had just broken. They are alive, simply squealing as if they\'re being murdered.
I just get a kick out of how Barbour couches the cutback, as if the remaining $5million annual subsidy from the university is some bedrock support they are due. Need to get the teapartiers after that final $5million. Then let\'s see how much Kal football really spreads around to the other sports.
Edit add: If the subsidy survives and after the dust settles, I guarantee garvin will live to see the slow rehabilitation of Kal rugby. They have a vocal and influential backing group in the whole (shrinking)constellation. There will be breaks on field use here, access to sports training facilities and personnel there. Funding for a couple of rugby tours although on a scale less ambitious than before.
Just be patient. It\'ll happen.
