Typically, a lot of football players run track too. Some basketball players as well. In fact, track makes for superior football players. Cross country, on the other hand, doesn’t do much in terms of self funding or entertainment value, but it is also a very low budget sport relative to almost any other sport. Plus, we all know there is cross over between xc and track. This is a seriously terrible decision, especially for a program as renowned and well funded as Clemson. Joke of a school but great athletics. Shame.
