The Wildcats-a contender to make a run for the national championship given their high seed and strong regular season record-are an anomaly at UA: a team that generates positive revenue for the university even as the athletics department struggles across the board.
Should Arizona enact sweeping cuts, it will be following a broader trend at the Division I level, where universities that have built reputations and alumni support on robust athletics have increasingly begun dropping certain programs- often those of the Olympic variety, such as swimming, track and field, and tennis.
