This past weekend at the Southeast XC regions NC STATE's fans/redshirted runners/ volunteer coaches decided to paint some parts of the course. I think the perpetrators should have been castrated or something like that. I mean the red paint totally ruined my awesome white spikes. Not to mention the mental effects it had on my race. I heard that they got in some shite and were thinking about disqualifying the team.
Well, one of the effects of great Art is to solicit a response so mission accomplished.
well...I heard that they are in trouble with the NCAA and that one of the coaches booted off a scholarship runner for doing it.
Evidently not with William & Mary and UVa beating NC State.
any word on who it was that got the boot?
bbbb
Wow...
Oddly enough, this is actually a punishable offense. The rules are pretty clear about it.
I'm pretty sure no scholarship runner was booted off the team, or any runner at all for that matter. Eric Mack drew the stuff on the course the night before, as he camped out at the race site. I also saw him fishing in the pond, what a crazy guy.
Could he not have slept in is dorm room and driven over from Raleigh that morning? It's not that long of a drive.
Was it really serious enough to be punished that harshly? Eric Mack is now the T.O. of runners!! I think the art was cool but the action taken was severe. did any one else help out on the art, did they get booted as well?
Eric Mack = T.O.
