With the recent announcement of Minnesota cutting track other big schools will watch closely and say if a big program like Minnesota can get away with it, then so can we. Things might go south fast.
We either need to fight back with everything we have now or find a different solution for college track and xc athletes. Now is as good a time as ever to point out how they are taking away athletic opportunities from minorities.
How exactly are average height white males a minority?

They cut track. How many average height weight males do you see doing sprints or any jumping event?

Not sure why it bothers me this much, but xc club national and baby (D2&D3, NAIA) nationals are two different things. They should be two or three lines.

Men's Gymnastics had 210 teams in 1969. After Minnesota cuts their program there are now 12 teams. We still put out Olympians.

These will be the only meets of any importance in the US if all college XC/Track gets cut at all level.
