“In October 2014, Currie asked the KSU Athletic Board of Directors to discontinue Women's Equestrian and replace it with Women's Soccer to maintain Title IX compliance for the university. He cited a recommendation from the NCAA Committee on Women's Athletics to discontinue Women's Equestrian as an NCAA emerging sport—a committee recommendation that had not yet been voted on—as justification for this change. Based on Currie's recommendation, K-State Athletic Board of Directors approved eliminating Women's Equestrian and replacing it with Women's Soccer.[8] However, the NCAA ultimately tabled their committee's recommendation, making no changes to Women's Equestrian and its relationship with the NCAA.[9] In fact, since Currie prematurely ended Women's Equestrian at K-State, the sport has expanded to include 17 NCAA Division I programs, 5 Division II programs, and 2 Division III programs as of 2019.[10] Currie's actions were met with great dismay by the student-athletes, their parents, the National Collegiate Equestrian Association, and the equestrian community at large. Currie was criticized for his recommendation to eliminate Women's Equestrian AS WELL AS FOR A LACK OF TRANSPARENCY AND POOR COMMUNICATION THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.”
....sounds like some Wellman bullshit to me.
Currie will have his chance but there shouldn’t be any patience for lies and lack of transparency.
