They had the rerun of The U pt. 2 on and it talked of how they got creative when dealing with lack of scholarships. They were on probation and had low scholarship options. They ended up signing 5 guys to track scholarships(Santana Moss was one of them). Santana said on the show that he was there to play football. Butch Davis also said that one positive they didn't envision was that the Track team actually did better than they ever did before and turned out great for football and track. It made me think of our situation and wondered if they have been exploring that route. TCU has had some success recently with track/ football guys. Would love to find some speedsters or even big shot put/discus guys that are great football players and can benefit both programs. Track is real big in Texas so we are at least recruiting heavily in the right area. Would love to find another Michael Carter part 2. . He is the only person to win a Super Bowl ring and Olympic medal in the same year.
