Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
She should definitely be in the discussion when someone talks about who is the "best head coach" at Ohio State.

In her last 11 years as coach, Mary Jo had 11 National Championships.
Not a typo.

Stanford cuts 11 sports varsity sports from athletics department due to 'limited financial resources'
Stanford University announced Wednesday that it will cut nearly one-third of its Division I sports programs at the end of the 2020-21 academic year as the COVID-19 crisis has threatened to worsen an already existing athletics department deficit. The move will affect more than 240 student-athletes and 22 coaches, according to a letter from school leadership.
The 11 sports that will be discontinued are as follows: men's and women's fencing, field hockey, lightweight rowing, men's rowing, co-ed and women's sailing, squash, synchronized swimming, men's volleyball and wrestling. University president Marc Tessier-Lavigne, provost Persis Drell and athletic director Bernard Muir signed the letter which detailed the "heartbreaking news."

WOW.....Very interesting that they cut synchronized swimming, they were usually Ohio State's main competitor for the national championship.

Too soon old, too late smart
Agree with ScriptOhio, believe that most if not all of the non-OSU wins in syncro were by Stanford. Just looking at the above post, am wondering how the Title 9 numbers work out for Stanford. Am surprised that with the endowment base that Stanford enjoys that they wouldn't dip into the principal to fund these sports for a year or so. Let us not forget that football is not the be all and end all to collegiate sports, all of the above student-athletes matriculate to Stanford to enjoy these sport extensions to their studies. Also wonder how much they're really saving if Stanford has to pay the scholarship costs for these athletes for the rest of their eligibility.....Hopefully tOSU keeps our varsity/club sports teams in play, rather than using this as an opportunity to reduce expenses. Go Bucks!

Upon further review.....
With the 11 cuts Stanford went from 36 to 25 varsity sports. If you look at the PAC-12 school's participation is sports Stanford still has sports more than other PAC-12 schools: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pac-12_Conference#Men's_sponsored_sports_by_school
In addition, synchronized swimming isn't a PAC-12 sport nor is it included in the Director's Cup competition: https://nacda.com/documents/2017/5/4/_nacda_directorscup_2016_17_misc_non_event__bracketdef.pdf
Based on the above (if you have to cut some sports), I guess cutting synchronized swimming, sailing, squash, men's rowing, and women's lightweight rowing (whatever that is) makes sense.

Are you ever going to get any woman on earth to sign up for something called "women's heavyweight rowing"?
No. No, you are not.

Since 1985, Stanford has 8 titles in synchronized swimming, Lindenwood won in 2014, and the rest have been Buckeye championships.
