Pepin was an excellent coach before arriving at Nebraska. He had outstanding pole vaulters, high jumpers, triple jumpers, long jumpers and a great decathlete at KU. A competitor like Pepin recognized titles could be won with an emphasis on the field events. That strategy is still part of the NCAA game.

That's been Rovelto's formula down at KSU, and it did work a lot. Unfortunately, the last few years he realized that recruiting takes effort and he'd rather just stay home count his money during NCAAs

Didn't Florida win NCAAs last year with only 100m, 200m, and 400m runners? Couldn't win their conference with that but what is the main goal? Nothing wrong with playing to your strengths.

Importantly, they also had great hurdlers and amazing horizontal jumpers.

But yes, one indoor title, they took like 8 guys and dominated, after Arkansas worked them at conference.

To everyone complaining - your bias is showing. Alternatively, you’re also showing you aren’t a fan of our entire sport. There are 21 events that score points for a team. 8 of those are field events and the multi events are more field than track. score points everywhere!

Rovelto also invested in middle distance.
