Somewhat related….

University of Bridgeport informed the members of the Women’s & Men’s Swimming Teams this afternoon that both programs will be dropped at the end of this season.

The timing of their announcement only serves to exemplify the lack of knowledge of our sport they possess and the level of interest (more like lack thereof!) they have in the performance level of Their swimming student-athletes at the highest level of Their athletic organization’s competition.
