I have nothing against Mr Scrivines, but the school is continuing down the same path that it has followed for so many years. The more things change, the more they stay the same. As a longtime runner and former team captain, I am not encouraged. The university has no commitment to the sport.

Either make it viable or make it a club. |

Also, do right by father Leeber. Most of today's donors had him in class and look fondly on his commitment to FU athletics. That angle should be worked- an easy raise from 1 to 3 or 4 scholarships.
