Assuming there are only distance runners on this forum, who ya got in the mile, 3k, 5k? Fiermonte and Gisore both had decent openers. What's ChirChir going to do? Makupa!? Stonehill guys going to break 1520? Biwott in national title contention? Tara Dooley going to finally run indoors? Stonehill duo open with sub 18, who can challenge come February?
START THE DISCUSSION!!!
Bentley FTW!!!
Bad assumption. Its track season, so the track ATHLETES are back on Lets run. Lets talk about which teams will potentially win the meet? No Lowell, changes everything for everyone. Both Men's and Women's team titles are up for grabs. Who will step up, and get the win?!
Franklin Pierce FTW!
Can FP even beat Stonehill? do they even workout, bro? Can anyone beat New Haven on the womens side? Ada Amazing will score 100pts with her bicep! I heard Adelphi got some amazing recruits in, on both men and women. Who wins which title this year?
I didn't realize people from New Haven posted on these boards...

is that to say that distance runners aren't "ATHLETES" also? On the men's side I still say it's a toss up between Southern and Stonehill. AIC is usually in the mix too. Southern lost a lot of mid D guys, while Stonehill lost 18-20 points from Corey Thomas. Should be interesting
FRANKLIN PIERCE FOR THE WIN!!!! HANDS DOWN NO DOUBT aBOUT IT!!!
How the F did Franklin pierce get so good in the last 1-2 years?
franklin pierce is good? pretty sure they have one or two good distance runners and that's it...
they got 5-7 guys that can run anywhere from 24:40-26:15. not that bad x_x
Dage Minors FTW
Nick Lebron ... 'nuff said
Bentley has a walk-on freshman guy who looks like he will be a serious contender in the 5000 this winter. Came out of no where. Didn't race cross. Legitimately might beat Biwott.

Hand out scholarships like candy on Halloween.

Or they just are running fast.
Even with scholarship money, athletes pay on average way more to go to a school that costs $45,000 a year than they would to go to a state school. It's more of a recruiting game than a money game when you are talking about these types of runners. FPU is doing something right and I doubt it's as easy as you claim. If it was that easy they'd be like AIC or everyone else would be performing at the same level; which they aren't.

They had like a million in the men's mile at the 1st meet last week. Seemed like more than 1 or 2 good guys to me...

Southern CT and Stonehill and AIC!!!
Bentley in distance events
Franklin pierce ! (Never in a million years would have thought they'd not be a shit 2 years ago)
I'm not disputing that they are running well. But if you're looking at a new program pulling in those sorts of recruit numbers you can make an informed guess that the school is giving a lot of support to the program (a good thing). And if you don't think that support includes generous financial aid, you're silly.

I'm assuming the $45K refers to Franklin Pierce. Not that it's going to get you into the difference between a private school and a state school, but FP actually costs between $39,320 and $42,598, depending on which meal plan you have, assuming standard dorm housing. If you don't live on campus it costs $31,000.
But that's sticker price, we all know that with scholarships, work study, etc, almost nobody is paying sticker price to go to FP or most of the other NE10 schools.
With 52 men on the FP track roster, even if they are giving the maximum athletic scholarships allowed for DII, 12.6, there are probably not too many who are getting big dollars.
