NU has no track. And they havent had a fully funded NCAA team in 20 years or so. The women's XC team has died a painful death there, and it has been tough to watch the dismal failure. Don't get your hopes up. NU did have some good talent before it was disbanded, but not in the distances. Those days were long gone by the mid- 80's. Show
Of course with scholarships a XC or track team there can do well, but anyone with scholarships can do well, and still most teams and coaches in the NCAA don't! Evanston is also more paved, urbanized, and expensive than before, not quite the idylic spot it was 20-35 years ago. Developing distance athletes there would be no slam dunk even for a good coach. It could be done though, but there are only a handful of coaches in the US good enough to regularly make walk-on level talent fast enough to compete at the top NCAA level. There are coaches who can take top tier HS talent and keep it top tier another several years. But an NU team would not be starting there. And even Badger miles wont fly on pavement. A team in Evanston might have better luck targeting middle distances first. I believe a club team would be the best chance for eventual success, not the conventional pleading/begging route. The funding for a club team would be by private sponsor, and the goal of the team would be to first get people thinking again about XC and track at NU. If well managed, they'd have a chance. One underdog Wildcat improving enough to run down Wisconsin blue-chippers in one race at say, Drake or Stanford, would be enough to get the whole country talking about NU track.
