Or has the sport become to consolidated at the top? NC AT moved up going full bore on the sprints but I doubt that program will ever be able to make the moves it needs to in other event areas to win.
Seems like the trophy will just rotate between a handful of teams.
NAU, BYU, Houston, NC A&T. It will happen.
I could see Houston doing it. I could see them winning the 4x100 100/200, top 4 in 4x400, some top 3 in something like 110 hurdles 400 hurdles and long jump and someone in steeple. This hypotherical would be like 55 points, 55 points could win it on the right year. Maybe 60 points if they have a second runner scoring in the 100/200.
But it seems likely they might be in a P5 conference by the time this happens, Big 12 makes most sense to me since they don't have many teams and some Texas schools are already in that conference. NAY/BYU could do it if they miraculously snag a 1-2 finish in the 10,000/5,000 and then score two guys in the 1500 and steeple and then make the 4x400 final. This hypothetical would be 50-60 points. It is not normal for a team to win with 80+ points like LSU this year. That's pretty insane.

Uh.....Non Power 5 schools have won the NCAA Outdoor Championships before. SMU, UTEP, BYU, San Jose State, Villanova and Navy have all won the men's team title before.

The question was will it happen, not has it happened. When someone says "will you answer the door?" do you just respond "I've answered the door many times" and continue to sit where you are?
