Will we ever see Baseball at the UW Madison again?

[leg turk]

It's just a shame that they don't have baseball anymore.  When was the last year they had it here, early 80's?

[bigG]

1991. A friend of mine was on that team. '88 was their last winning season.

If we can afford a fencing team, I hope we can swing America's pastime.

Won't happen, unless they make it co-ed.      Do they still have the rowing club?

I think so, I thought they built some big fancy spancy facility for it.

I thought they dropped fencing, gymnastics and baseball all at the same time.
Do they still have fencing?

When are they going to add Frisbee golf? 

[bigG]

I think UW has ultimate frisbee as a sport.

I was hoping to be on their first men's synchronized swim team; but it never materialized. Another shattered dream to toss atop the heap of 'em.

[Dale Einerson]

No.  Seriously doubt baseball will return to the UW in the near future.

Reminder, it is more seriously considered to add scholarship athletes as employees first.  Will be well over $1 million a year for that and instead, we will see non-contributing revenue sports cut at the UW.  And, that will mean men's sports first thanks to another law, Title IX.

it's been on the shelf for yrs, but there is a lot more talk about it again now, 2 of my very good friends Eric Liebenstein from Janesville and a classmate of mine from Milton were both starters on the last team Wis had, it was a sad day for them, i do now that...i hope Barry will get it going as i do now that people are talking to him about it...

So, proposed budget cuts could negatively impact non-revenue sports....   

[Dale Einerson]

So, proposed budget cuts could negatively impact non-revenue sports....   

Sure, roughly equivalent to spending beyond means.

I hope that's not how the "powers that be" regard the cost of the wrestling team.  Would really suck to lose it.
