FYI - The only place I know of that ranks college sports programs by their size is Kaarme.com. Quinnipiac is WAY down the list at 453K for the combined programs.

Quinnipac was doing it to a ridiculous extent. Requiring XC runners to do both indoor and outdoor, then not giving them any races to run.
This is false. You have no information to back this up and this statement is not supported in the recent ruling. The judge in this case decided that distance events in indoor and outdoor track are an extension of cross country. With this thought-process, the judge called them all one sport and said the athletes should only count once.
The question the judge was trying to answer is if XC, Indoor and Outdoor are 3 different sports for a distance runner. Most people in our sport would say they are. This judge said they are not.
I believe that the judge is incorrect in this situation. A female athlete competing in 5-6k XC races during the fall, mile races in the winter and the steeplechase in the spring is competing in 3 very different events and essentially different sports.
Hence "competitive cheer." look it up, it exists.
It exists, but not as a NCAA sport. So look it up, just not on the NCAA website! This is not an issue of whether it is a true sport or not... it is not sponsored by the NCAA, so it doesn't count for NCAA numbers. Simple.
Trying to add Cheer was a stupid move by the administration. Just like adding Women's Rugby is a stupid move, an "emerging NCAA sport" with only 5 teams. Pathetic.
went to this school, absolute joke of a running program, athletic department, president, and institution in general. any high school athletes looking for a good school in CT need to AVOID QUINNIPIAC
