I wouldn't even have a problem if they just didn't draw crowds or didn't generate revenue, I don't feel that's not what college sports (or any sports) should really be about. The problem is that they have a hard time fielding these teams.
Soccer, softball, volleyball, swimming: These have all been sports that women have flocked to and done well in.
Lacrosse, ice hockey, crew rowing: These sports are being created for women and being taken away for men. Tennis and golf are also in this category although the competitors and their families are helping keep them afloat.
