Track coaches envy attention for NCAA tournamentBy Chris Duncan, AP Sports Writer
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Some coaches at this week's NCAA Indoor track and field championships see the event almost as an anticlimax to their highly competitive conference meets.
And that, they say, is not good for their sport.Big 12 men's champion Texas A&M, Southeastern Conference men's champion Florida and defending women's champion Oregon headline the field for this weekend's NCAA meet at College Station.A&M, hosting the event for the second time in three years, said tickets for the two-day meet were nearly sold out. But some coaches think the format of the event needs to be changed toward a goal of making the event more team-oriented and attractive to television audiences.
