West Virginia U keep its rifle team

Story here. Interesting university politics. The University wasn't then short for money, and the rifle team's expenses were under 1% of the athletic budget. But the University concluded it'd be best to terminate a number of sports and concentrate the money on scholarships, etc. for the big name sports. It's amusing that the legislature responded by giving the rifle team its own appropriation!
If you can't have a rifle team in WVa, then where CAN you have one?! Good that they got that fixed.
