I write this letter to express my extreme disappointment with the athletics coverage of this newspaper. Over the weekend the men’s and women’s swim teams each recorded victories over the Carolina Tar Heels and Duke Blue Devils. These victories, however, seem to be of far less importance than the loss by the basketball team to FSU on Saturday. Of the five articles on The Cavalier Daily Web site’s sports sections, three are about the basketball team. I understand that basketball is a revenue generating sport and has a larger following, but how is it that a their poor play warrants such a large amount of coverage?
The Cavalier Daily is doing a disservice to the University and the student body by not covering all sports.
