I don't think Oregon would have nearly the sway they think now that they are joining the Big10. OSU and the other B10 schools don't give a damn about Hayward Field. I know I don't. In fact, it's a detriment to the sport for USATF to be so aligned with Oregon. Bad.I am curious if the B1G championships will get permanently moved to Eugene or not.
It is not good for the sport that nearly every big meet in the US is at the same, hard for great majority of people to get to, place.I don't think Oregon would have nearly the sway they think now that they are joining the Big10.

This is one of the reasons that I thought Omaha was good for USA Swimming. Middle of the country where most people can venture if they so chose. But I would love to see more of these Olympic level events rotated to different regions of the country where feasible.It is not good for the sport that nearly every big meet in the US is at the same, hard for great majority of people to get to, place.
