I'm sure by now many of you have seen the new deal the University of Texas got from ESPN. The network will pay the Longhorns $300 million over a span of 20 years to broadcast Texas' games and such.
With the yin, comes the yang, and while it's not directly related, it's a shame in itself.
The University of Delaware announced today it would cut men's cross country and outdoor track and field from varsity status to comply with Title IX. Last year, the Blue Hens regulated the men's indoor track and field team to club status.
As many of you know, I graduated from the University of Delaware and ran four years of Division I cross country and track and field.
While Title IX is important in the grand scheme of things, it's sad that after this year, no other male runners at the University of Delaware will be able to experience what I — and my teammates — did from 2003-07.
