[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think he does 1 year of NCAA, takes his "sophomore" year off for the Olympics and turns pro assuming he's healthy, etc.. He will then continue to train at UMD though with their coach and his current coach. The deal probably includes full tuition regardless of him running and yes, insane NIL. [/quote]

Yes, agreed! It makes zero sense for him to run 4 years at UMD. It's a dinky program.  He wouldn't have relay teammates anywhere near his level. It would be like being recruited for Duke basketball and choosing to stay local and play at AU. Really weird choice unless you're just using their track, staying with your parents and planning on moving on soon. [/quote]

I'm not sure relay teammates matter that much in our current system. Most relay runners in the US selected to run on the Olympic or World team don't train together other than during a short prep window and most focus almost all training on their individual events.

Of course, that may explain why the US has had some disastrously bad outcomes in relays due to dropped batons and the like.[/quote]
