No one is going to invite you to walk on. You have to go the coach and say "I was kinda, sorta, umm, thinking of walking on your team...what do I have to do?"

Wrong! If you are not given a scholarship or actively recruited, many programs will invite you to walk on. Happens all the time. Places like Oregon, Arkansas and Stanford build their programs off this. Even if you are an unknown and talk to the coach, you can't just show up for practice. The coach can decide to invite you to walk on if you make your case. One of the kids I coached ran a 4:13 1600, asked to walk on at Stanford, and was refused. He still went to Stanford but was not invited to walk on.
Holy shit! This happened in my backyard and I wouldn't have heard about it without coming here.
