Panel Discussion: Future of Men's Tennis
by TennisRecruiting.net, 16 November 2006
Men's tennis teams are being eliminated at a rapid clip. The casualties just this year include Colorado, American, and Central Oklahoma. There is an ongoing effort to save the Rutgers program from elimination next year.
At first glance, financial problems and Title IX compliance seem to be the culprits. The question is - will the trend continue? When will it stop?
We put the question to our panel of experts. As you will see, their responses were varied.
Q) Will this reduction of men's tennis programs continue? Or worse yet, will the rate of eliminations increase? What will men's college tennis look like ten years from now?
