This thread has unfortunately strayed many times from the main point that it is ridiculous to cut OUTDOOR track. As an alum, I would be disappointed to have any season cut, but if INDOOR is cut, at least my program will be able to survive. Cutting OUTDOOR will no doubt cripple the program. Only in New England would an outdoor team be cut over an indoor team
So far we have had a page of this thread dedicated to name calling, another dedicated to classic LetsRun pessimistic posters letting everyone know that they don't care about the cut (including one guy who apparently supports cheerleading more than track???!) and most recently there has been lively discussion between a few old New Haven County coaches sharing personal stories about why they turned the coaching job down 30 years ago.
Does anyone have any ideas about the best way to state the case that OUTDOOR should be saved and INDOOR cut instead? Any U of Delaware folks out there with any advice? Letters to the president, set up a fund, petition?
Thank you in advance for any input.
