UTC Mocs logoWhen today’s meeting with University of Tennessee at Chattanooga chancellor Dr. Steven Angle comes to a close, supporters of the school’s
recently axedmen’s track program hope it will produce a red flag rescue.
“We just want a chance to throw the red flag and force them to review (their decision),” said former Mocs star Damian Walsh in using a pro football analogy.
“We know they have a problem (with Title IX). But we’re thankful for the noise, because we think they thought this story would be a one-day news cycle and it’s clearly become more than that.”
If the crowd of 200 or so who showed up at Finley Stadium’s Stadium Club on Sunday evening, as well as the several thousand more who’ve responded online at various sites — including change.org — are any indication, the story of UTC cutting men’s track to help the school fall more in line with Title IX guidelines may not go anywhere for weeks.
