Clemson Alums, Students Release Video Calling for Men's Track and Field to be Reinstated

#SaveClemsonXCTF, a group of Clemson track and field alums, current athletes and parents, released a video on social media on Thursday calling for the university to reinstate its men's track and field and cross country programs.

The video goes as far as calling the decision by university president James P. Clements and athletic director Dan Radakovich as "racist" for taking potential opportunities away from current and future Black athletes.

The video comes nearly a month after Radakovich announced plans to discontinue the programs at the end of the 2020-21 athletic season.
