If talk of racial prejudice really is "effecting" GT basketball and Nike then there are serious problems indeed.I suspect, however, that you know as much about the real discussions at GT as you do about the difference between effect and affect.

Just throwin' this out there: Nathan Taylor.
Good post. Makes sense to me. Might even help intercultural understanding.
Nobody seems to have posed this question yet as far as I can tell.... Georgetown is competing right now and Paul Short wasn't their first race. So they went from seven meets suspended to getting their season back? They seem to be better than they have been in recent memory as well, though that doesn't surprise me given their performance on the track this past season.

The 7 meets was for all three seasons as the people involved ran XC and track so they can't single out behavior as XC vs track behavior. Not sure what they dropped for XC but probably one, maybe (?) two meets.
Yeah, they'll probably drop most of the indoor meets. Nobody cares about indoor anyway.
If I were the coach, i'd drop 1 XC, 5 indoor and 1 outdoor meet. Something like that.
Unfortunately this is how many division one programs work. After running one season of XC at a lower tear division 1 school in North Carolina that I had no businesses running for. Coaches give you a good sell when they recruit you and then BAM they have your soul for the next 4 years. The coach at my school would often claim that we are going to be one of the best XC teams in the nation when we only had one runner that could break 15. Also while the coaches claim to be “role models†for the student athletes they can often be seen drinking beer at many athletic events and around campus. While the coaches at my school where your typical jocks and had no business coaching xc at the division one level they can make a hell of a good 4 by 400 team and usually finish in the top of their conference during track but would often finish at the back at xc and blame the xc runners for being “Pussies†.
