Boston University Wrestling Program Nixed for New Balance Payday?
"New Balance is one of the largest suppliers of mens lacrosse equipment in the United States, and a stated desire for BU to add a mens lacrosse program as part of the new arrangement was at the core of the sponsorship negotiations. On the surface, this seems a reasonable request given the amount of the sponsorship, a large portion of which would be directed toward New Balance field, a standalone facility for the lacrosse and field hockey teams.
However, in order to add mens lacrosse, it would be necessary for BU to disband one of its current mens programs to comply with National Collegiate Athletic Association Title IX legislation. There was little hesitation from Boston University, that this program would be men's wrestling."
