Rupp vs. Haile
Rupp vs. Haile
I'd say Haile since he's actually older than Rupp
Or worse yet a D1 caliber runner at baby nationals (Scott Bauhs). i think that is the worse I've ever seen. That isn't meant for A Standard type runners, its for the kids! Grow up Scotty.
Rupp is the biggest offender or should I say NIKE/Oregon. When a professional ran for a SWAC school they were put on probation (Kiplagat for Jackson St. in the 1990s). When a professional runs for Oregon they are given a national championship. Cheats out.
Only douche-bags care if Rupp benefited from a few plane rides, or some such, that he ultimately had to pay back. As you see with the Footlocker winner this year, many of the African imports in the NCAA are overage, former pros, running under new names and ages. It is the same old story, just taken down an age level. But, no, Rupp gets to use an underwater-treadmill, so let's cheer on the foreigner and call him Gaylen, haha.
I applaud Bauhs for sticking with a program that has worked for him. Why change coaches/program because you run well? On what planet does that make sense?
If only more US professionals would do the same.
