MIT Drops Sports You Didn't Even Know It Had in Bid to Become More Average

When you think MIT, you think alpine skiing, competitive pistol, golf, wrestling, ice hockey, and gymnastics. Right? Well, think again; the school has eliminated all these sports in the interest of saving money. The cuts bring the school's sports team tally down to 33, the average number offered in the Ivy League. The sports were axed due to student interest, coaching turnover, availability of appropriate competition, quality and proximity of practice facilities, as well as program costs, according to the college.
