The administration above Muir wants a smaller proportion of the student body to be scholarship athletes, and less "privileged" ones at that.  If you start with that premise, everything makes a lot more sense.  It explains why no amount of fundraising is going to resurrect those sports.  It explains why the operating cost savings are de minimis.  With the exception of wrestling, it also largely explains why the sports that were cut were chosen.

Yes. I think Muir has actually been taking it on the chin for an administration that doesn't want to be transparent about what it's doing and why. As a result, I think Muir is actually more solid in his position.
