Amanda Ling of @MSUswimdive is the #Elite90 Award winner for DI women's swimming and diving!
The Elite 90 award is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative GPA participating at the finals site for each of the NCAA’s championships.
How do you celebrate your women's athletic achievements by taking away their opportunities to achieve? How do you plan on "calling out inequality" when you refuse to see it in yourself? @battleformsu

Yesterday, @Mishbia15 did the unthinkable by donating such a generous amount. 32 million to be exact. @michiganstateu we do not want to hear it anymore. +32 million is +32 million. You can afford to keep the swim & dive team- you are choosing not to. Point blank.
Athletic Director, Sandy Barbour, of Penn State congratulated our MSU seniors with flowers today as we competed in PA. We received a warmer reception from @GoPSUsports than our own Athletic Director. Thank you, Penn State. @PennStateSWIM#savemsuswimdive
The MSU swimming and diving programs -- playing out their last season after the university decided to eliminate them -- have found the most-unlikely ally in rival @UMichAthletics.
UM wore MSU masks at both meets this weekend.
Their coach explains why.

Michigan and Michigan State have been competing in the pool for 100 years, but this weekend's meet is likely to be the last between the two schools after MSU made the decision to discontinue its program after this year.
The Wolverines stand with you, @MSUswimdive.
MSU's women's swim/dive team led Division I with a 3.87 fall GPA and the men ranked sixth nationally at 3.71 per the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America. These programs are scheduled to be cut after 2021 by MSU despite defining the “student-athlete” term.
A new lawsuit says Michigan State has not been in Title IX compliance in years, alleging cover-ups & falsifying other sports numbers.
