Fields said not going to parties or hanging out with people is “a small sacrifice for a bigger reward.”

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.

It’s almost like ... and just hear me out ... the Big Ten and Pac-12 tried to be the trend-setters and grossly misjudged the room.

Honest question: Why did it have to take a P5 program being cut for the powers that be in T&F to vocalize that we have a problem?! NCAA Men's T&F has been in crisis for a long time!! #savetrackandfield #saveathletics @savetribetrack @GopherCCTF @usatf @USTFCCCA @TeamUSA

[Tucson Elite Classic @TucsonElite_]

@USTFCCCA I’m sure the schools in the North/Midwest/Northeast are all fired up about how equitable this is... NCAA Leadership and forethought.

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

Consistency compounds. Small steps repeated over time lead to big gains.

Don't aim to be consistently great. Aim to be great at being consistent.

Observation: the people who sustain success over the long-haul are rarely shooting for success. They are focused on the path. Their goal is mastery, which knows no end.

[I ❤️ T&F Coaches! @MikeCunningham]

In light of our friends at @GopherCCTF and @WMTribeXCTF , I'm sharing the podcast with @AndrewDubs we did back in June. It was ALL about pro-activity to help save/strengthen your program. EVERY COACH NEEDS TO LISTEN and then...ACT!

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

Do we call the music or philosophy department non-revenue?

Not sure why we make that distinction for Olympic sports.

The point of college sports wasn't revenue. They were included because they were thought to be valuable to students and the college experience...

[Leroy Burrell OLY @BurrellLeroy]

The decision to cut the men’s track & field program at U Minnesota is a threat to every D-1 men’s program. This is no longer about Covid budgetary shortfalls, it’s about over leveraged athletics departments, financial mismanagement by administrators and inequity. The fight is on!

[Peter Miller @MinnCoachMiller]

Yesterday was really, and the conversations ahead will be harder. This is home for me and has been for most of my adult life...I’m not giving up on my home without fighting for my family!! #GopherMensTrack

You already knew this, but @Jordan_Geist35’s progression is IMPRESSIVE.

And that’s only through his sophomore year 😳
