What are some examples of unfunded or underfunded programs that have had success at the D1 level? Obviously the Ivy League does not have athletic scholarships and many of those programs have had great success. Any more examples?
What school does the most with the least?
College Running
D1

Are we talking about development of athletes (e.g. what programs turn 9:30 guys into all-americans) or simply what programs do well without scholarships? Because if it's the former, I'm not sure if the Ivy League is the best example. Schools like Columbia and Princeton often get very good recruits

both! -
Stanford for Distance runners and U$C for sprinters they both seem to make their runners slower then they where in high school and not faster.
-
I would suggest Adams State in Colo.
-
If you say Adams, why not say Mines? Both are close right now and Mines is a sightly more rigorous school. Does not get same level of recruits as Adams.

Penn State.

Colorado State
Jefferson Abbey HS 1:58/4:22/9:33
at CSU (SR now): 7:51/13:50 XC AA
Cole Rockhold HS 2:00/4:13/9:07
at CSU (SO now): 3:59/8:06/13:53
Jerrell Mock HS 4:21/9:17
at CSU (SR now): 8:09/13:44
Grant Fischer HS 4:26/9:30
at CSU (JR now): 8:10/13:46/29:44
Ben Larson HS 4:33/9:54
at CSU (c/o 2015): 13:58/29:16
Now, most of these recruits are CO or UT so altitude and take that as you will. -

why say either when op specified D1? -
I second CSU. Siemers Bros doing a good job.

Assuming that you're talking distance. Men: VA Tech, Portland, CSU, MSU, Dartmouth, Providence.
-
I agree on Portland, Furman, and Iona. These small schools have some rough disadvantages being private, small, and no facilities.

Would hardly say VA Tech doesn't bring in talent. Pretty top guys out of high school with their current crop of runners -
Alcorn A&M....way to go!ðŸ‘
-
I hear this about Stanford all the time. What is it about that program that worsens its talent so much? Is it overtraining?
-
Boston University?

No facilities at Furman? Lol what -
I'll go with Providence. Didn't have their own track till a few years ago.
-
No indoor facility.

BYU generates lots of pros from mid tier talent like Shea Collinsworth
