I think the future will likely bring a multitude of class action law suits in our sport from hip, rib, and back injuries and the mental side effects that come with physical injuries from overtraining by coaches.

Could it happen to you? These are currently active cases against rowing coaches (except SMU) Abuse and Wrongful Death Lawsuit UC San Diego / Coach Geoff Bond: A prominent wrongful death and Title IX lawsuit filed by the parents of a UC San Diego rower who died by suicide alleges that men's rowing co...

Which reveals where the true problem lies.

Never really got to know Glenn that well but he did an insightful pod cast a few years back with, I think Delsordo, and he came across as very competent and he had a terrific life story. A lot of money was invested into women's rowing by the AD at Alabama on his watch which makes him a great credit ...

GBR outperformed expectations in '25 for most of the final and the way NED came home in that race...they will only get close...

Not who I heard.

Yes

Hearing the job is likely going to a very remarkable female single sculler.

Except all those regattas define what an eligible college student is in their own way. What is USRowing's definition? How do they come up with the definition? Who gets input. If you are going to declare something a national championship you need to be on top of these questions.

When do the eligibility questions start?

Smallfest?

44% turnout is actually a really strong response. I bet this election turnout is a lot higher than other past regional elections.

A lot of university members likely had little interest in the election.

David Huntington gets the board seat.

Another 1 vote margin of victory. That is two in a row. What are the chances?
