Editor\u2019s Note: On Wednesday, February 28, Hartwick President Margaret Drugovich and the school\u2019s Board of Trustees announced they were eliminating Division I athletics. Men\u2019s soccer would be downgraded to Division III\u2014and join the small upstate New York\u2019s college\u2019s 15 other DIII programs.<\/em><\/p>\n

Women\u2019s water polo, which has existed since 2001, would be terminated at season\u2019s end. This is one in a series of posts that address the decision-making behind this action by President Drugovich\u2014and the water polo\u2019s community\u2019s response.<\/em><\/p>\n

In case anyone thinks this is just about water polo, check out Swimming World’s coverage<\/a> of Eastern Michigan’s decision to cut men’s swimming.<\/em><\/p>\n

Hartwick women\u2019s water polo keeps winning; the Hawks<\/a> (19-4, 1-0 CWPA)\u2014winners of three-straight and 18 of their last 20\u2014have done their part in the pool while fighting their administration\u2019s decision to cut the program.<\/p>\n

Luckily, their plight has not gone unheeded; coaches from all over the country continue to weigh in regarding this issue; more than 10,000 supporters have now added their names to a Change.org petition<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bill Cohn, Assistant Coach, San Diego State University Women\u2019s Water Polo<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s always saddening when programs getting cut.\u00a0The first group I feel for are the student athletes and their coaches.\u00a0Their parents and friends feel it too.\u00a0All the high school prospects now have one fewer school to consider as a college choice.\u00a0The rest of us in the business hate to see the axe fall, because we understand that it could just as easily been us.<\/p>\n

\"sds-logo\"<\/p>\n

Over the past decade we\u2019ve lost programs at Maryland, Colorado State, CS Bakersfield, CS San Bernardino, in addition to Hartwick. The reasons tend to be around budget and\/or facilities.\u00a0Win\/loss records rarely are as big a consideration in the public justification.\u00a0Those like Maryland, that are from Power 5 conferences, can usually afford to fund the Title IX sports through their share of TV revenue from their conference.\u00a0Some are more easily understood than others.\u00a0There have been programs added in the past 5 years, but I\u2019m not sure if there is net growth or not.<\/p>\n

Of the 128 schools playing D1 FBS football, only 28 make a profit.\u00a0Most of those are in the power 5 conferences who share bowl and TV network revenue to the tune of $20 to $25 million per year. They are required to field 16 sports in order to play football.<\/p>\n

\"hands\"<\/p>\n

Non-football playing schools like Hartwick are exempt from this requirement.\u00a0There are lots of mid major and non-football schools dropping non-revenue sports to reduce their budgets. (e.g. Buffalo dropped baseball, men\u2019s swim and dive, and women\u2019s rowing in 2017, saving $2 million).\u00a0Non-football schools in D1 have to field 14 sports.\u00a0Any school over the limit could potentially decide to drop sports\u2014and non-revenue sports tend to be targeted first.<\/p>\n

Women\u2019s NCAA water polo in the United States is one of the strongest leagues in the world.\u00a0At the [Barbara Kalbus tournament, there were over 60 players from outside the US on the rosters of the 16 schools.\u00a0Those players come to get an education to be sure, but they also come because they get to play with and against the highest caliber competition.\u00a0With various National Team members on multiple college rosters today, the sport is strong from a competitive point of view.\u00a0I would say that the recent cuts are troubling trend though.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have an easy solution here. Athletic directors make decisions related to budgets, Title IX, donors, and other factors particular to their institution.\u00a0Most schools have donors who give primarily to football and men\u2019s basketball, which are usually the flagship programs which generate revenue and prestige for the university.<\/p>\n

Megan Husak, Head Coach, St. Francis Brooklyn Women\u2019s Water Polo<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was shocked to hear that had happened and even more so shocked to hear how it happened. I heard that a [representative from the administration] walked on deck and read a letter. I can\u2019t believe the cowardice of [that situation]\u2014to not even have the administration talking to them.<\/p>\n

At least let the coaches know before you announce to the whole team.<\/p>\n

\"StFrancisBrooklynTerriers\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s such a shame; there\u2019s so few women\u2019s water polo programs in the country, then to shut down one that\u2019s phenomenal\u2026 and on top of that they\u2019re having a great season. I really hope they make it to the NCAAs just to prove a point.<\/p>\n

I swam and played water polo for St. Francis, and this is my tenth year on the coaching side. I can\u2019t imagine going to another school to coach. I feel so much love for St. Francis that I can\u2019t imagine having to up and change schools midway through my career.<\/p>\n

I feel so bad for those girls who committed to play for Hartwick and to have that opportunity taken away.<\/p>\n

Brian Kelly, Head Coach, Iona Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s Water Polo<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alan and Ashley [Hartwick coaches] are friends of mine. I\u2019ve known Alan for a long time\u2014I\u2019ve played against him. Actually, he came and visited me in Chicago and his teammates were my teammates.<\/p>\n

I wish them nothing but the best of luck.<\/p>\n

\"Iona\"<\/p>\n

I know that this has happened before [in 2009] and they were able to rally and fundraise and keep that program going.<\/p>\n

You have the facility\u2014you have a pool\u2014I\u2019d rather see them downsized than be eliminated. There\u2019s ways to downsize a program and still run it effectively.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to think that Iona would be a good model for that. We have a lot less funding than some of our competition, especially in the MAAC. But we\u2019re able to be competitive. Perhaps that\u2019s something Hartwick could look into.<\/p>\n

I would hope they\u2019d at least give that a shot. They\u2019re one of the storied program on the East Coast. Aside from Michigan, Princeton and Indiana, I\u2019m not sure how many teams [from the East] have made it to NCAAs that are in existence right now.<\/p>\n

The bottom line is, and what you can\u2019t forget whether it\u2019s Hartwick or Iona or VMI\u2014you\u2019re getting people to go to your school from different areas of the country or world that probably normally wouldn\u2019t. You\u2019re expanding your brand and I think that eliminating the program will hurt Hartwick in the long run\u2014a program that\u2019s had a lot of amazing international talent.<\/p>\n

You have people going to Oneonta, New York that probably never heard of Hartwick College before.<\/p>\n

Tamara Perea, Head Coach, Siena Women\u2019s Water Polo<\/strong><\/p>\n

I remember when Colorado State cut women\u2019s water polo and added women\u2019s soccer and men\u2019s golf. Unfortunately, athletic departments are looking to do that because women\u2019s water polo is usually added to counterbalance men\u2019s basketball or football.<\/p>\n

\"siena-logo\"<\/p>\n

I\u2019m seeing a trend that they can\u2019t use [water polo] to balance Title IX anymore\u2014so why keep it? That mindset is, when you do put in all that support, all that funding, then you decide that it\u2019s no longer important, what did they do it all for?<\/p>\n

Cutting Hartwick is not good for our sport\u2014especially in the East. Alan has done a good job of developing that program. Cutting the program is not a reflection of their performance; it\u2019s a budgetary and enrollment reality for that school.<\/p>\n

Chris Radmonovich, Head Coach, Wagner Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s Water Polo<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hartwick\u2019s been really good for a long time. They\u2019re always one of the most competitive teams on the East Coast. We\u2019ve had a ton of battles with them over the last three \u2013 four years, and they\u2019re a fun team to watch play.<\/p>\n

\"wagner\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s very disappointing to see them go. I think Alan does a great job bringing in a different type of talent from all over the world. [His program] provides diversity to that school.<\/p>\n

I hope that they find a way to do something.<\/p>\n

Chris Vidale, Head Coach, Marist Women\u2019s Water Polo<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s sad for those kids, it\u2019s sad for Hartwick. But, for the sport of water polo its terrible. We\u2019re still a grass roots sport and to lose a Division I program is something that our sport doesn\u2019t need.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He has a lot of international athletes, so they\u2019re already away from home and they\u2019re sacrificing a lot for their education and the sport of water polo. They have to figure out financially where they\u2019re going to be put.<\/p>\n

You have freshmen who don\u2019t know where they\u2019re going and you have juniors who are in the middle of their major thinking: \u201cI only have a year and a half left. What am I supposed to do?\u201d<\/p>\n

It feels like a death in the family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
