Don't think W&M has swim scholarships, don't think

the school is planning to close the pool. A plan could have been put together to minimize salaries, travel and recruiting expenses for the next few years. Team fundraising could have closed the gap. The school probably does not want the swim team competing with other athletic programs for fundraising - given how upset the swim alumni are - doubt that factors into the equation.
