Graveyard of Teams Past

In honor of Sports Illustrated's article on Title IX (though recognizing that all of these casualties weren't the result of Title IX, we offer a partial list of men's teams that are no longer along with their last known NCAA Championship appearance.  Don't want to say we see a trend, but if your school has a direction and the word "State" in it, you might consider building that endowment.
