I think this is reasonable. We don't compete in every AEC sport, and the olympic sports we do support aren't fully funded (we don't compete in half of the indoor/outdoor track events). I'd rather see us add more traditional northeast sports like field hockey or add members to our track program, positioning us to win commissioner's cups in the future

FYI, Buffalo's cost-cutting measure was primarily for women's rowing. Rowing is a VERY expensive sport, and Buffalo historically underperformed, even in comparison with club programs in the region. A good move for a school that's likely quite overextended.
