"please save this team!!!"
"Cutting this program would inevitably force the current team to also leave the university, causing an even bigger loss of revenue for the school. These young men selected this university based on the strong swimming program offered and have invested a lot"
"Once again we find an institution where the right hand does not know what the left is doing. Director of Admissions states in Today, "the only fund raising mechanism MSU can directly control is the # of students, yet the CFO wants to cut men's swimming wh"
"This is for my roommate."
"This is a great program bringing exceptional student athletes to the University. Without this program, these students will go elsewhere and MSU will be the poorer"

"For a program with as much success as the MSU men's swimming and diving team has had over the past few years, I find it unfortunate for those involved in the university and its programs to have to deal with cuts as large as these. I fully support the team"

"I agree with the previous comment. Also, they will be losing all the future swimmers that will be graduating from high school that these boys have convinced to come to MNSU. You can't buy advertising like they have done for MNSU."
"Former MSU swimmer"
"Cutting this program will also be killing a long standing tradtion and family that has formed at MSU-Mankato"
"Please save the team! They are all such amazing swimmers and I would hate to see them not be able to swim. :("
"Go MSU swimming"
"I'll reiterate (for the 771st time) what a mistake it would be to discontinue men's swimming at MSU-Mankato. I won't pretend I'm not biased here, but let's be honest: HOW is this decision going to save the college money? Budget aside, these guys are not o"
"This team has been a part of me for two going on three years. This team means more to me then anything else. I would really hate to see this team be taken out of the programs offered by MSU. Swimming is our life. We don't do this sport because we like to "
"Keep mens swimming!"
"The MSU men's swimming and diving team has and continues to cotribute a huge importance to MSU athletics. With what little they receive already, this program will do whatever it takes to stay at MSU."
