[numberonebrave]

In a photo of the men's team with the trophy the other 2 ( alternate ) 400 meter runners ( Lindo and Chambers) were in the photo . So who else was supposed to be there?

welp, hate to pat myself on the back but 4 or 5 years ago before our new track surface was installed, i predicted that once that new track went down we'd have a chance to win a national championship and nobody back then took it seriously.

looks pretty serious now...

Show of hands:

Say we had won the title, how many folks would be ready to cut a check to towards an indoor track facility? (Lol)

The same number ready to cut a check now for such a facility. You don't want to know what number I think that is.

Guess it would depend on how big a check you expect individuals to cut

Hmm... Possibly.

All these questions about who would donate what are useless until the school does a better job of asking for support.

How do we know they even want an indoor track facility?

How will the university leverage this history making performance? if at all?

lol, basketball is a totally different monster. the big schools invest tons of money in football and basketball, pretty difficult for an hbcu to win national championships in those sports. but "almost" all other sports are "fair game" for hbcu's.

still not a equal playing field in the other sports either, but at least what most big schools invest in other sports is not "insurmountable" like football and basketball. that's why we've had "national" success in bowling and track/field.

i knew once we installed the new track surface, we'd close the "gap" relative to track facilities at most p5 schools and i figured we'd sign an "extra" track all american recruit or two as a result...
