I have always, and will continue to question Arkansas' ability to get so many "scholarship caliber' athletes to Fayetteville. When you have a program that is so successful (distance, jumpers) i can see how you would get an inadvertant number of reasonable qualty walk-ons in addition to the scholarship guys. However, year in and year out they have an army of these type of athletes in an era when lesser athletes refuse to attend many of the other "power"track schools because they got money from some podunk school with a poor track program. Something is rotten in the state of Arkansas as i see it.
So let me get this straight, something is wrong with the program because the coach is better at getting good kids to come to the program (at a school which actually seems to value their track program), not because of money but by giving them a chance to become better runners, jumpers & throwers on a championship team. Then - horror! - actually delivers on that promise, therefore creating a self perpetuating environment for success.
You are right, it can't be that, he must be cheating somehow.
PS - you might want to look up "inadvertant" [sic]
