NCAA's
In the latest issue of Rowing News, former National Team member Sean Colgan listed off a few good reasons why men's rowing should not become an NCAA sanctioned sport. Reason #3: "It has taken Harry Parker 42 years to FIND Camden. Harry will never find a new location each year."
Haha.
In all seriousness, though, it's probably for the best that men's rowing was voted down by the NCAA. I'm not going to get into details; those who are most interested in this issue probably know both sides of the argument very well. However, implementing a national restructuring of the current institution at this time will most likely hurt American men's collegiate rowing more than help it.

As an old Yale guy, I loved that comment in Rowing News. At the same time, I'll also express my utmost respect for Coach Parker. Harvard-Yale races were harder on us because we knew he was on the other side, and what he was capable of.
NCAA governance wouldn't have helped men's rowing, and possible have hurt men's lightweight rowing. I'm glad that one is over with.
