Hoping for good news and that they will change their decision to eliminate track & field.

I know many of the coaches spoke with the AD and Board of Trustees yesterday and today. Our Alumni Group had a chance to voice our concerns as well. Anyone interested in supporting our cause can email President Theobald and AD Kevin Clark at the addresses below. SAVE TU TFXC!

There's no chance they reinstate the program. Simply the administration's angle of appearing to care when in actuality if they cared they wouldn't have made the decisions they did. Temple's never been a top flight program (even in the A-10), so it's not like anything's been lost...
I really hope Temple considers bringing back the team. At Richmond we fought as well, but to no avail. It's sad that our sport is changing this way. Sooner or later all that will be left are the big conference teams and nobody else.
Top Flight Program? They had some pretty good recruits coming in with a few early commitments from the top runners in Indiana. I really feel bad for them. If the decision gets reversed will these guys stay?

like the team will magically re-appear?! Better question is where the guys will transfer
"Turoff added that Bill Cosby had offered to do a fund raiser for the gymnastics team because Turoff's predecessor had taught Cosby in a physical education class."
lol gymnastics. He was a track runner.
Is this Bill guy insane or demented? He won't help track but then helps gymnastics! And its a fundraiser, not even a donation, with all his wealth
PROTEST THE COSBY SHOW
Bill has agreed to pledge money to the track team as well. Amount has yet to be determined. Hopefully with an impending decision to reinstate the program he'll finally cut Temple that phat check...Go Owls!
It happened at Radford Univ this week, Richmond last year and the list goes on & on....Sad future for Men's Track in the US at the Division 1 level.
The name says it all...Temple shoulda stayed in the A-10. Makes sense competitively, geographically, etc...
AND cut that damn football team!
Looks like the DoE is getting involved. Hopefully the shake up trickles down. Re-Instate the Teams!
Is there any rumors on the mens team coming back?
Thanks
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
Jakob Ingebrigtsen has a 1989 Ferrari 348 GTB and he's just put in paperwork to upgrade it
How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
Mark Coogan says that if you could only do 3 workouts as a 1500m runner you should do these
