I don't think anyone thinks Pat Henry's idea to run an SEC relay meet is a bad idea. But I think most people agree it's terrible to put that meet on the same weekend as Penn. we will neve have a perfect sport but Penn is one of the few meets that gets respect from non track media.
Why challenge that? What's his real purpose? Has he not won at Penn recently? Didn't he used to get a ton of Jamaicans at LSU? Does he not at A&M?
Let's just continue shoot ourselves in the foot. Great job track and field.
Just want to point out that the SEC Relays was not Coach Henry's idea. It came from other coaches. The SEC coaches voted unanimously to do it. Then, a few coaches backed out.
