Penn relays is great, but we just need a relay meet that's solely focused on college. That is not Drake or Penn and to have the national relays be at the end of April is perfect.
But there isn't time to have a college only relay meet and Penn or Drake. SO then you end up diluting Penn and Drake.
What makes Penn or Drake special is all the HSers/Masters etc are there. Everyone is there so the races mean something. You won't have that national relays.
Yes Penn is a 3-day hassle for teams but so freaking what. When I was coaching at Cornell, we'd shuttle the athletes back after their competition so they stayed 1 day if they were just running once.
