For some reason I had it in my head they won both roadraces, not the rr and crit. Now if they get hitched and have kids, look out.

This is far more common than well funded program, unfortunately. I raced briefly for UVA when I was in grad school, and the budget was primarily for entry fees and over night stays. We had a really good coach who did it because she loves cycling. She is also a USCF official and race organizer. For the OP, however, if you are choosing a school in part because of cycling, do searches for the teams, contact team members and, where available the coach. I work at a private university, and the strangest things sometimes get taken into account to decide between otherwise equal applicants. The result may not be labelled as cycling, but being a tremendous athlete in a non-mainstream sport sometimes help. For example, my school has a varsity woman's rifle team that is really quite good.
