I’ve actually never run competitively and never applied to OSU. My gym class PR in the mile is only 7:34. As for cosplay, again you have me beat since you admitted you are the Cowboys’ traveling mascot.
I never transferred to another college from OSU, because I never attended OSU myself. I said I had a family member who ran for Dave and that he hated Dave. As for my dear mother, she would have despised Dave, because she can smell a weasel from a mile away.
If you want to give me free money, I will gladly accept your offer. You sound very generous and it’s thoughtful of you to think of someone besides Dave Smith, who you are an unapologetic simp for.
I want to apologize I didn’t realize you have special needs. If I had known I would have let you be. You can do anything you put your mind to little buddy. Everyone is cheering for you. Just put that link out there we got you sloth.
Let me recall you to my question from before, which you have consciously dodged. What is your motive for simping for Smith? Your lack of a reason makes you appear like a coward now.
Apparently Dave Smith tried to get Centro DQed from NCAAs and he has not forgotten, lmao.
Love this and Dave is a As$hole who takes the cheap way out
The issue with these "pay to play" coaches (you know who you are), is that they're all mediocre coaches, who could give 2 sh^ts about developing American runners.
Question:
Why is the NCAA allowing schools to pay for recruiting consultants? These literally are agent/managers, which are illegal in the NCAA. Again, it's not about foreign athletes competing in the NCAA, or any "racism". The priority of all American colleges and Universities should be to American citizens, so as the can develop and coach homegrown runners. I keep saying it over and over, the NCAA should put limits on the number of foreign athletes allowed to be rostered (80/20), and an age limit of 24 years old.

This doesn’t make any sense. Literally every school pays for recruiting its part of any program.
Also funny to claim that if your recruit better talent then you cannot coach. No one is walking around campus picking their team from students doing orientation.

You’re mixing up normal recruiting with what I’m talking about. Yes, every school spends money on recruiting, that’s obvious. What they don’t do is pay third-party agencies like Scholarbook or other brokers tens of thousands of dollars to buy access to older, pro-ready internationals like Smith has. That’s not “recruiting,” that’s outsourcing your entire roster to a pipeline and pretending it’s development. So no, you’re misunderstanding what these agencies actually do and how those athletes are being brought in. It’s a completely different model than standard college recruiting.

So your issue is outsourcing some of the recruiting instead of having additional recruiters on staff? Seems capricious.

No, you’re still missing it. This isn’t “outsourcing some recruiting.” This is paying agencies to deliver fully-developed, mid-20s athletes who are basically pros and plugging them straight into a college roster. That’s not recruiting, it’s buying results. Acting like that’s equivalent to hiring an assistant coach is either dishonest or clueless.
In the last 36 hours Dave Smith has won an NCAA team title but also:
1. Cursed in a press conference while lashing out at the coach or the current American record holder in the marathon and who recently had an Olympic silver medalist in the steeplechase. Amongst a myriad of other successes as a coach and athlete.
2. Been publicly shamed by by an American gold medalist in the 1500M.
3. realized more than half of his team was shown cutting the course at an ncaa championship.
He was calling out all the people criticizing him, not just BYU’s coach. And he was completely right, rather than being involved and enacting change, all of you armchair analyst morons are sitting on a screen in a circle jerk hate contest. Nothing will get done that way and you’re wasting time. That’s his point.

And he's being a massive hypocrite as Centro pointed out

That’s exactly what outsourcing recruiting is - paying an external agency vs hiring someone in house to do it. If it was an Ok State employee hanging out in Africa identifying recruits would you protest?

No, that’s not the same thing and you know it. Hiring a staff member to evaluate recruits is normal. Paying a private agency to deliver ready-made 25-year-old athletes who have already been racing for prize money is not “recruiting,” it’s buying finished products. Acting like those two things are equivalent is either willfully ignorant or deliberately avoiding the real issue.

So is the issue that the recruiters being paid are not Ok State employees or that they are successful at identified more developed recruits?

Smith is within his right to do whatever he wants as a coach as long as it’s within the rules. From his point of view, the foreigners and Americans are viewed as equal and that’s perfectly acceptable as a perspective and coaching strategy. He also obviously cares about his team, did you not watch the Letsrun interview with him yesterday? You guys are missing the point of the NCAA and are not considering his valid side.
In the quote itself Dave Smith is saying if you don't like something, change it. How is Centro's comment a burn in response to that lmao.
Bcs Centro qualified for the 1500 final via the rules and Smith tried to have him DQd. Hence he B!#ched about it rather than getting involved and changing the rules. It's called hypocrisy.
Because he believed that he broke the rules? Very different scenario from what we are seeing now.

It's amazing how much leftist discourse is just them pretending not to understand things, thus making discourse impossible.
