@Gmoney72ca I understand the frustration, but extremes won’t move us forward. International athletes bring tremendous value to our teams & campus. At the same time, taxpayer-funded institutions should serve American students. Fairness & diversity aren’t mutually exclusive. We can have both

Proud to be a voice in this space. Public universities are spending tens of thousands of institutional dollars on paid recruiting services to acquire over-aged foreign athletes. Taxpayers are unknowingly funding a system that will reduce opportunities for their own children.

"Age matters... An 18-year-old entering college directly from high school is not competing on equal footing with a 24- or 25-year-old who has spent years training, competing and physically maturing. The difference is not simply athletic. It is physiological, psychological and experiential." trackandfieldnews.com/op-ed-college-…

College sports weren’t created to build professional teams. They were created to teach life lessons through sport. As we reshape the NCAA, we can’t lose sight of that purpose. Proud to create those opportunities at FURMAN 🤝🏼💜 trackandfieldnews.com/op-ed-college-…

@wmcraven @USTFCCCA You are 100% right. The USTFCCCA Exec Committee did support the proposal…I misspoke about was who killed it. The NCAA Sport Oversight Committee did not to advance the recommendation, effectively killing the legislation where it should have been championed. I want to know why.

I proposed nearly identical legislation at the @USTFCCCA convention last year. It was OVERWHELMINGLY approved by coaches, then ignored by our exec committee; many of whom were practicing the roster-building this legislation addresses. This demands a discussion on leadership. 👎🏻

Great insights on NCAA eligibility from one of the top coaches in NCAA Cross Country & Track, Furman University's @RGary2 in @tandfn (link to article in replies) "I worry that we are slowly losing sight of why college sports exist in the first place"

Vastly overpaying non-professional students who participate in NCAA sports at the expense of the university’s core mission has nothing to do with athletes' rights... It has everything to do with the commissions of the athletes' representation.

We may have a new U.S. #1 👀 Gabbi Jennings 🇺🇸 dominates the field in the steeplechase at the LA Grand Prix, beating many of the women she’ll have to face at USAs and running a U.S.-leading 9:11.72. The next three across the line are Lexy Halladay-Lowry (9:22.89), Courtney Wayment (9:23.94), and Emma Coburn (9:29.38). Jennings has been the top American and finished top 3 overall in all three of her steeplechases so far this season.
