We know, D1 & D2 there are 12 men and 18 women athletic grants. Since a track & field team needs at least 40 athletes, men and 40 athletes, women; since there are relatively few grants for men, isn't hard to justify giving men distance runners a full ride if said runners cannot race a sub-52 400 metres? Races 800 to 10000, usually requires a sub-55 last 400 metres, indoors championships & outdoors championships.
