It's Deju Vu All Over Again: A Track Team Without a Track!

There are plenty of Gophers upset about the plans for their track out on the western fringes of Big Ten land.  They are apparently removing the track with no plans to replace it on campus, which has angered many.  Some feel this may even end the storied Minnesota Program. They don't even have plans as for where to practice in the mean time.

Having been through a similar situation, (and HERE)I can say most of their fears are unfounded.  But that doesn't mean they shouldn't be upset and do what they can to change the minds of those in charge.  The total disregard that administrators have for any sport but the revenue producers is appalling.  And Minnesota only has one sport that makes money, basketball.  As I've said before, getting rid of Track and Field is essentially getting rid of Athletics, as it is known in every other country in the world. And an Athletic Department without Athletics is an empty shell.
