just a quick shoutout to our women's track and field coach K. Iyevbele for her excellent scheduling of meets this year. The Raleigh Relays this past week is a highly respected venue which provides access for our ladies to big time competition and benefits recruiting immensely. thanks

Re: womens T&F
Wish we knew where W T&F and the 6 other sports that aren't sponsored by CUSA will find a home. I don't know how the coaching staff of these 7 programs can recruit when they have no answer to potential recruits' question as to against whom & where they will be competing.tenn hen wrote: ↑Sun Mar 31, 2024 9:47 am just a quick shoutout to our women's track and field coach K.

Re: womens T&F
It’s pretty easy. You sell the university, your program, UD location, etc. I doubt conference affiliation is at the top of the list for a lot of recruits.BlueHenBill wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2024 12:07 pmWish we knew where W T&F and the 6 other sports that aren't sponsored by CUSA will find a home.

This is exactly right. The athletes in Olympic sports are more concerned about the school and college experience.

Re: womens T&F
Yes, but a big factor in the athletic experience is who do you play , where do you play. and will your family be able to see many games.Henny wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2024 7:06 pmThis is exactly right.

Re: womens T&F
Bill- I agree. Those items can certainly be a factor in school selection.

Re: womens T&F
Udforever1, I never posted (or implied which is your unsupported view) that it was the "main factor" only that it was a big (or should I have posted a significant) factor. I agree with you that the other factors that you cite are also significant. Where we most definitely disagree is that you do not consider conference membership & geography to be a significant factor in recruiting because IYO it is "pretty easy" to overcome via the other factors that you cite. If the other factors that you cite are similar between UD and other college(s) recruiting an athlete, the conference membership & geography could be the deciding factor.Udforever1 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2024 10:55 amA factor, sure. One of many. Being the main factor, which Bill seems to allude to, not a chance.
