College athletics, particularly basketball and football, were my main source of entertainment during the duller moments of winter break. While I enjoyed and appreciated the great skills of the players and coaches, I never had an avid interest in who won each game.

The Washington University swimming and diving team split a dual meet against Division I rival St. Louis University over the weekend. The men defeated the Billikens 122.5-100.5 while the women lost to SLU 163-83.

I’ve often wished Washington University had Division I athletics, but not for the athletics themselves.
