you make the argument for me. Texas Tech may look to have quarterback and receivers but they don't NOT have linemen. They may not get the best linemen or linebackers, but they don't IGNORE them. Do you think the coach actually sits back and says "we can't get the best linemen, so let's not try to have linemen to protect our quarterback?" I assure you they still try to recruit all positions to get the best they can. They just have a reputation for getting better guys at some positions. But they still have ALL positions and try at ALL positions. They don't hire a head coach and 3 assistant quarterback coaches like some schools do having 3 distance people on staff.
Arkansas won the NCAA meet with 5 athletes, but they didn't NOT have throwers, vaulters, jumpers and sprinters on the team.
no one said anything about require. I said the NCAA has an option for teams that don't want to do track AND field. it is called cross country and it is limited to 7 scholarships.
