It's over, Johnny.

The IOC will most likely start the acceleration of paring back sports, because of the white elephant syndrome - Google what happened to the softball venue of Athens, Greece...

Paris is offering breakdancing as a sport this year. Even Harvard doesn't sponsor that at the varsity level.

The irony here is that for years the NFL and NBA got its free player development from NCAA schools. Now the USOC (and many other committees) get free talent development from the Ivies.

Why have a kick-ass USOC rowing development program, if you can farm out the talent identification and strength training to New Haven and Central Jersey? Same with fencing, among others.
