UVA has now added another varsity sport.
Squash.
It's a rather weird one to add, but somewhere we have an anonymous donor who is funding 24 scholarships and a coach's salary for it. I would want my name on it if I gave that much of a donation. But their choice.
This is the first time we've deviated from the ACC and NCAA, but someone is paying for it. Stanford is the only other P5 school sponsoring squash on the women's side. It's a big deal with the Ivy League though. Already have Penn, Cornell, Columbia, and Brown on next year's schedule. Stanford too.
I've been hoping for Ice Hockey or Gymnastics, but squash it is.
