Doug Moe: Hope for UW baseball’s return?

….In 1992, facing budget deficits and gender equity issues, the University of California-Irvine eliminated its baseball program. This was just one year after the University of Wisconsin-Madison, facing budget deficits and gender equity issues, eliminated its baseball program.

Now, Cal-Irvine has not only resurrected its baseball team, but the Anteaters have moved up from Division II to Division I and this year have reached the semifinals of the College World Series.

Question: If Cal-Irvine can do it, why can’t UW-Madison?
