Interesting that the NCAA will actively say some of their sponsored sports are unimportant (ie below Tier 3). Â Â
How should you feel about this if you are a competitor in men\'s and women\'s water polo, men\'s volleyball, men\'s and women\'s gymnastics, fencing and so on? Â I don\'t like the idea that the NCAA is now deciding which sports are important and in what tier. Â
I\'m glad the Directors cup will still be offered but it\'s now going to feel a bit like modern day boxing where multiple championships, offered by multiple sanctioning bodies, has cheapened the offering.

In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.
