"University of Wisconsin women's track and cross country coach Peter Tegen has filed a federal discrimination lawsuit against the school, accusing officials of not renewing his contract because of his age and gender, a television station reported Monday."

The only thing I know is that the UW women program (especially middle and long distance) after decades of prominence has fallen way down lately. I guess, when things go bad the first one to blame is the coach.

Bobby Bowden, 74, doesn't seem to be having much trouble with that bias.
