More in-depth story on cutting the 4 sports; interesting e-mail
By Colin Dunlap | 1:38 a.m. Tuesday
Duquesne University swimmer Doug McWhorter, a freshman from
Charlottesville, Va., couldn't hide his anger Monday night; try as he
might, he couldn't veil the contempt festering inside.
"I loved everything about Duquesne," he said, "Up until today, and now part of me hates it."
Also, I got an interesting e-mail from a reader on Monday night. It was an e-mail he received just last week for a fundraiser for the baseball team.
Here is a portion of it:
