With all of the speed in south FL, why don’t we dominate track? Or at least the 100 and 200

It isn't a destination track program. Sure, we occasionally catch lightning in a bottle, that happens in T&F, but that's it. It's no different than schools being the top dogs in whatever sport year after year with recruits wanting to go there.
 
It’s amazing you people don’t know why we don’t dominate in track.

Lack of full ride scholarships.

It’s actually amazing we do as well as we do.

Most schools have very few full ride scholarships. That’s ok when you’re a big state school with much much lower tuition and your athlete just had to make up a couple of thousand here and there with the odd needs based or academic scholarships.

But when they have to make up a 60 thousand dollar a year tuition. Ain’t happening.

Got it?

Similar problem in baseball, not as pronounced, but similar. In track, it’s really pronounced.

And saying it’s not a “destination” track program is gobbledegook.

The issue is tuition cost. Period. End of story. Amy Deem is as well known and respected track coach as there is.

I believe Title IV issues restrict men’s track & baseball from giving out more full rides?

If you spend more on women you can spend more on men. Isn't the men's tennis program, which was so successful years ago, set all time record for consecutive victories in any sport, newly reactivated. Don't remember them in recent years.

It's more than just tuition as noticed by other schools that are just as expensive, close to as expensive, or more expensive doing just as well and in some cases much better than us.

Deem is respected by her peers, but you're kidding yourself if you think she's thought of as a top coach by recruits. Results speak louder than anything else and unfortunately we aren't more than much of a blip in college track. The other schools way ahead of us, they also don't have the talent pool to pull from. It's far more than just expenses to go here and I fully expect you to stick your fingers in your ear like you do about most things.

It’s cost of attendance.

Look at the top 25. Dominated by big, low cost state programs. You might find 3 or 4 private universities in the top 25 like USC, Baylor and TCU. Do you think those track athletes are paying $50,000 a year tuition?

I’ll wait for your answer, smartass.

Look at the top 25 IN TRACK this year idiot. Don’t give me this MAY bullshlt. There are only 3 teams, maybe 4 that are private. At least 21 are big publicly funded or cheaper tuition schools.

How many private schools? Right now?

Sure a private school can have a good year here or there.

The Miami women won the ACC indoor track championship last year. It’s not something they’re going to do very often because of the tuition obstacle. Pure and simple. No denying it.

The other few private schools are figuring out ways to pay for those student’s tuitions. Very few of those athletes are paying those tuitions.

Look at how many men are on the men’s Miami track team. Why so few? Tuition cost. That’s why...and no tuition help. The other private schools figure something out. Miami doesn’t do that.

In a lot of cases, these private schools are basically having donors sponsor kids, combined with what aid you can get from the government. Let's be honest, a lot of football players come from bad backgrounds, so they qualify for federal grants. Even then, it's not a great situation. There's a reason why Miami has managed to do well in some of the posh non-revenue sports like women's tennis and the like: The kids can actually afford to come to the institution, even without a full ride. Combine the fact that on average, tennis players and golfers tend to be at the higher end of the academic curve, compared to revenue sport athletes, and it's a lot easier to get them merit aid, to supplement the athletic scholarship. We rely on the football program for track guys, because it's so tough to find track guys with talent, that can afford to come to Miami on a partial scholarship. Compare that to UF, where a partial, PLUS government aid will most likely cover everything. We've seen this in baseball too. Stanford, Miami, USC and other privates used to be dominant in the sport, now most of those programs are mediocre, with the occasional big run, due to the factory schools banding together to change the scholarship allocation rules.

Why would you be surprised about posters not knowing we do not offer full schollies to track recruits? Majority of posters think that they are experts commenting on our football team. . In reality they have no clue on most issues pertaining to our team. Never over estimate the intelligence and knowledge of many posters on this forum and you won’t be surprised.

Deem is good enough to coach in the Olympics, good enough to be in the US Track Hall of Fame, but isn't good enough for recruits. Good lord are our fans utterly stupid. USC is a private school, but their donors dwarf us, their alumni base dwarfs us in sheer numbers. USC is basically a large state school, that happens to charge private school tuition. USC has a legion of donors that POUR money into their non revenue sports. Whether it is water polo, or T&F, those donors do everything possible to get money into those programs. We can't get our half assed fans to pour money into football on a regular basis.
