When you cut Clemson Track you lose legacy, unity, opportunities, and diversity. All of which the University works to pursue in their mission and vision.
Only to move in the opposite direction with this decision. @ClemsonDRad @ClemsonPrez #SaveClemsonXCTF

I wonder how many “only walk-ons” went on to prove the world wrong and become Olympians, etc.
My husband is one of them.
Beijing, London, & Rio so far. @iFlyNoWings
Walk-ons rock 🤘🏼
Minnesota's Senior Woman Administrator degrades every student-athlete who has ever been a walk-on in college, describing women being robbed of @GopherCCTF opportunities as "only walk-ons."

“We feel that the tradition that comes with the programs here has clearly been mistreated. There’s been such a lack of transparency. Hopefully tonight we get answers. If we don’t, we’re going to keep fighting.” flathatnews.com/2020/09/25/s…

The University of Houston Track and Field program generated over $207,000 in operating revenue during the 2020 indoor season. Please do not refer track and field (at least at UH) as a non-revenue sport.

#Gophers leaders, Mark Coyle get it wrong: men's track and field program too good to cut -- good one from @Patrick_Reusse

“If you are cutting sports, the fault lies in a collective push for excess. Not on title IX, not on the pandemic. It’s the result of chasing the fortune, until the boat took on too much water, then sacrificing your own” @stevemagness #saveumnmenstf thegrowtheq.com/instead-of-c…

Track & field is diverse, egalitarian & the foundation of every sport. And it's under dire threat
Colleges are cutting sports thanks to greed & mismanagement. They are like addicts, all-in on the chase for the jackpot, not realizing what they are losing.
