Why create this straw man? You can easily find and cut 5 sports teams that do not include women and/or aquatics which are well funded. You can easily do this because we have soooo many sports.
Name them.
Easy, cut men's soccer, men's gym, men's XC, baseball, and demote Rugby to club.
You don't need to fit them. Just make it a club sport like many of the schools they rack up meaningless wins against.
I mentioned it in my previous post.
As a Varsity sport you get to "tag" recruits at the admission's office.
This is obviously very important if you're trying to compete.
As for "racking up meaningless wins" that's a statement by someone that clearly knows nothing about Varsity Rugby and most likely has never been to a match, let alone a Championship match against a handful of schools that have beaten CAL.
Access to training facilities, and ability to tag recruits. Seems with a bit of legislative genius the administration at Cal can make this happen.
JK and legislative genius... Since when?
