[@123bugness]

Mike Rowe also listed. He definitely offsets that POS.

[@eklipze7520]

Spanky McBean Yeah - I wasn't placing Amy Schumer as a far-left icon. Just meant that the college promotes some extremely 'disabled' political ideologies.

Hey, are you wondering about custom jerseys for your baseball team? Welcome to teamjerseyspro.com.

[@LowerKace]

That is an awesome selfless coach

[@stuwest3653]

They fired him a couple years later.

[@matthewrogers2570]

wow cutting your baseball team for money issues is a joke.

[@ryanfitz2214]

If this happened to a girls team omg the media and everyone would explode

[@mattr7118]

Ryan Fitzgerald They cut the soccer team

[@ryanfitz2214]

John Doe yeah I know also was the men’s team this would never happen to a female team cuz people would flip and scream that they are sexist

[@WagyuSushi]

Ryan Fitzgerald do you like paintball? Just asking.. Its my favorite sport.

[@ryanfitz2214]

Aiden Bleckman yeah I’ve played for 8 years and play competitive paintball with my team. You play a lot?

[@WagyuSushi]

Ryan Fitzgerald ive played 3 years. I play at Xtreme paintballing Illinois.

[@scottwho6271]

I bet the head of the college and all the overpaid people at that college didn't have to cut their salary though

[@JoeyB-2001]

Baseball returned at the school. Men's sports now at Towson now tally 6, while women's sports more than double that number, at 13.

[@austinmiller2102]

Had to go through the same thing. It was tough as I traveled 4 states away from Home on a scholarship just to be told 9 months later the men's tennis program would be cut at the end of that year. Thankfully I ended up transferring and got another scholarship but it could have ended badly. The AD was also the head baseball coach and so guess who got a brand new field and indoor training facility shortly after??? You guessed it... and guess who put the 10000 tennis balls all over the new field... you'll never guess

[@obiohaz6023]

LOL thats funny

[@ericgold8876]

What school

[@TheSJ12]

Just men sports huh?

[@whatsaliciadoing]

Scotty 1arm It’s dumb if they were gonna cut a sport they should have cut *men’s baseball AND women’s softball* not soccer and baseball if I was them I would be so mad

[@extra8321]

Soccer is also a women sport

[@ianharper3213]

yeah but if you listened to the video, it said they cut mens soccer, not womens soccer

[@sagefortei9078]

alicia.sugg. xcx They did it to receive Title IX funds, because the university was experiencing financial instability. In the end, I think the 2 programs remained.

[@EthanBlackGaming]

i agree

[@chuck322]

So I guess women's softball and soccer are also gone.

[@jamesfinley2828]

good joke

[@smeutr1]

No because they want equal rights..... totally makes sense

[@sagefortei9078]

smeutr1 No because the want Title IX funds because the university was going broke. That’s why it is 11 to 6 in favor of women sports.

[@mgnyg55]

Deez Nuts how fucking ignorant are you? Go watch a video of a softball pitcher pitching to a male hitter. The pitcher makes the batter look silly. I guarantee you I could get my local high school’s pitcher to strike your ass out. Fucking pig

[@Flopanhug123]

Mick Galvin I've hit off a softball pitcher that went to the same college as I did lol

[@RYAN-fr3lf]

Why wasn’t the softball team discontinued or the women’s soccer also ?

[@zach8910]

I agree

[@gphell33]

No Title IX violations? If this had been women’s sports that argument would have been made.

[@SynPTSDonTOP]

ikr

[@smeutr1]

Because equal rights.....

[@johnyman5880]

Liberals would have freaked out.

[@frecklefingers]

Title IX is a joke. Someone please tell me how cutting men's athletics helps women?

[@big_dro1713]

Were these cuts due to Title IX? If true, then it is shameful for women's groups. The Women's Sports Foundation gave Howard University an F rating due to the fact that men make up the majority of athletics but only 33% of the student enrollment. These women's groups like to pretend that women are just as interested in sports as men but they're not. "In Study 1, the researchers analyzed the American Time Use Survey, in which 112,000 adults were interviewed regarding their activities during one day. Women accounted for 51 percent of exercise (i.e., non-competitive) participations but only 24 percent of sports participations. " www.gvsu.edu/gvnow/2012/males-play-sports-much-more-than-females-7343.00000.htm THIS is the cause of the large proportionality gap in men and women's sports. Also, I see that three years went by without someone answering your question. Not surprising.

[@EShum]

The cut was for budget reasons, all that title IX is supposed to do is make sure that there is an equal amount of women and men sports for each school

[@dalemcilwain]

Money, money, money!

[@willvandeusen5331]

Why only baseball and men’s soccer when women’s soccer and softball stayed? 🤔

[@howardbaxter2514]

Liam Tress still wouldn’t go there because who knows if they would cut it again.

[@jtree106]

they won't

[@lul420]

men’s soccer still isn’t back though

[@texaslax26]

A lot of people are asking “why just men’s sports” it’s because that option is compliant with title 9 but cutting women’s sports decreases any spend they could have towards leftover sports, I.e women’s softball and women’s soccer are fairly low budget sports that the school can inflate spending on, and therefore allocate more dollars to balance for title 9 on remaining men’s sports

[@gadesgades2832]

Reinstate tennis but cut baseball and soccer 😂😂 what a joke

[@bweiss22]

looking at towson's baseball record over the past few years, they probably should have gone through with it

Na if theydid this to a girls softball and soccer/Futball the media would blow up and like sue them

[@padraigmurphy3540]

Edith Duran, if it had to do with what sport brought in more money then why would they reinstate Tennis and cut Soccer and Baseball?

i remember when this happened

[@ryankakimseit9729]

How can u discontinue 2 such important sports

[@jasonsmith6408]

Like it. I always said if I made the big time and Monday night football or my baseball card would read Fred Lynn Junior High (middle school) because our coaches there actually cared about players futures. I went 8-2 as a pitcher my Jr and sr yr w/2 no hitters. Not one referral. If it wasn't for American Legion Baseball I would be never gotten a look and an opportunity to play until I was 26.

[@NFLYoungBoy223]

[@yankees2864]

You cut baseball and made MENS TENNIS AVAILABLE. WHHYYYY!!!!!!

[@MrGRAPES22]

nope, those are still here

[@jackdicesare9817]

Oh thank god..... they saved Men’s Tenis phewwwww. I wonder if it was just men’s sports that were cut or if they cut softball and girls soccer as well

This was in 2013 ..... let that sink in

[@TheHuskyK9]

An update to everyone just now finding this vid 5 years later like I did: They brought back baseball but they still haven't brought back men's soccer. In fact, they have more sports programs for women than the men. They have 11 women's sport programs and 6 men's sport programs. Also, some notable alumni: Amy Schumer Mike Rowe Brian Stelter Stacy Keibler John Glover

Lmao at the orioles

Towson cmon i go to maryland

[@steventabora3447]

Their hats represent Towson

[@wyattmueller4148]

Definitely some Feminist stuff going on here. You don’t just cut two men’s sports programs like that. It could be title 9 in effect which seems to end up making schools drop boys sports instead of adding girls sports. Also the person making the decision was female and I bet that had an effect on the outcome. I’m sorry for you Towson, this isn’t fair.

[@d-manmakinmusic466]

Did they lose

[@Margiela2341]

After a quick check today, there are 6 mens sports and 13 womens sports. It appears that baseball is reinstated but mens soccer has not been.

[@tylergo8417]

When they keep Lacrosse is still happing and it cost like 2000 dollors a person

[@drewblaz740]

Baseball and men’s soccer wow equality

[@smeutr1]

Comments are either a few hours old or 4 years old. Let's give it up to KZbin algorithm!!

[@Beast_1996]

I’d block the logos on the hat too

[@Bidwellz9]

maybe because your "univeristy" looks about the size of my old high school, clearly no money in that school system

[@kingmidget7123]

The story is from 5 years ago and Governor Martin O’Malley stepped in to help keep the team going

[@Fu2KamaKazi]

For a University with such a financial problem they are doing a lot of new construction onsite. To make it fair they should have discontinued baseball, softball and both soccer programs.

[@donnas7240]

Why didn't they black out their hats lol

[@joeyfranco8835]

Cause it looks badass

[@swagkills5557]

Hold on so Towson is curing baseball but is keeping Rugby this is fucking crazy

[@I_bacon_I]

Should of cut off the girls softball team and the boys soccer team

[@qwilliams1539]

They did cut men's soccer.

[@drowsy_mouse8406]

man KZbin has gone off the rails. I don't even watch baseball, let alone a story about college baseball from 5 years ago...

[@sk33t_38]

I understand the anger but it makes sense. Its a small university and they need the money and cutting the worse teams is what you have to do. Some things are more important at school and these players wont go anywhere in the big leagues. More money for education isnt a bad thing (which I hope it was for)

[@crispy6311]

$38,000 tuition a semester and 22,000 student population..... sure, "financial instability".

So wrong 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@somieltadeo6246]

Tf would they put tennis in for

[@doughanson6462]

Those saying why not womens sports, that happens too. Look no further than the University of North Dakota cutting it's womens hockey team a year or so ago...which was absolutely a gut punch to a very hockey driven school... and other colleges that have been forced to cut back due to budget cuts. I think most universities try to make balanced cuts, but sometimes you have to look at the cost vs. money brought in, those two sports were probably the biggest losers -- thus they were cut. Also, this video is from 2013...so.. yeah.

[@jaykobanderson3696]

There hat logo is the same as my team

[@captmurf8357]

Cut all the sports then

[@jonlenz5130]

how ab men’s soccer? does the school have a women’s softball team? hmm?

Well it didn't last very long lol
