Cal Gymnastics SAVED … not

This looks official. And devastating for the guys.

Women’s Gymnastics is being kept. The Men’s team dropped after this season.

… Three athletic teams at the University of California, Berkeley, slated to cease intercollegiate competition at the end of this academic year – women’s lacrosse, women’s gymnastics and rugby – will be preserved, campus officials announced today (Friday, Feb. 11).

New philanthropic commitments will support the teams’ expenses while plans are implemented for long-term financial self-sufficiency. …

… it was determined that the pledges for baseball and men’s gymnastics fell short of the criteria provided to potential donors: sufficient funding to support team expenses for the next seven to 10 years and the presentation of a feasible plan for sustained financial independence. …

UC Berkeley

Of course the real reason the women’s teams were saved is Title IX.

… Is there any chance to appeal?
