You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: 26mi235 Subject: RE: Why Do College Coaches Hate The Mile? Body: There is no real concern about qualifying or even competing at World Indoors -- it is a minor league meet compared to WCs/OGs. The times in 1500 are the only ones you can use to qualify for the 1500; they do not use adjusted mile times. This is not a BIG factor, but it is not unimportant. Also, college track coaches are focus on college competition and they all know what the distance is. It is not their job to develop the overall sport of track and field or the US national team. It is not that some do not care but that it is not particularly important. Also, another minor factor may be that the two are similar but not exactly the same and many coaches might not want to give that little extra break to the relatively small set of strong distance teams that are also deep enough to field strong teams in all of the distance events.
