new coach at UT, said all recruits would be kept on. so they enroll, so they turned down other offers to go there, and 2 weeks in they are told they are being dropped, are banned from all athletic facilities, and cant leave till the spring is over or have to sit out another year

How many recruits does track get every year? Seems like dropping 6 of them at once would be a pretty big blow.

Such a bitch move. I don't know who you do this to a kid.

On the positive side, a few schools are going to get some motivated-as-hell track athletes.

Wait, there is recruiting in track?

Why not just leave them on the team letting them know they are done at the end of the year.
Did she go find 6 other people to fill the spots?

This happens in every sport except football. In baseball, for example, scholarships are year to year. Don't perform as a Freshman, then you may have your scholarship pulled and asked to walk on as a Sophomore or even cut. Go look at an SEC school's Fall ball roster. Most will have 36-40 players listed. Only 35 make the Spring team, so they just wasted a full year and never even got to actually be on the team. Sucks.

While athletes regularly choose to depart a program upon a change in leadership, it's almost unheard of for them to be dismissed by a coach before even being given the opportunity to compete. Family members of the dismissed runners insist the women had no disciplinary or academic issues.
What a count.
