I would never advocate for cutting sports, ever.

Collegiate athletics is supposed to be for the students and should encourage wide and active participation in athletics, not for alumni to pursue bragging rights. To eliminate sports so that a school can focus on winning in one is both short sided and fallacious.

Cutting inexpensive sports wouldn't do much IMO
