In the second part of our two part series on cuts to women's athletics during the time of COVID, we look at the numbers and why schools are looking to trim their number of athletic offerings. Not surprisingly, it has to do with money. Most importantly, we explore the lawsuit by a group of University of Iowa women's swimmers who are requesting that the school reinstate their sport as well as add two more sports.  Show notes: https://legallyobjectionab.wixsite.com/mysite/post/ep-5-the-light
