Listen "The Dismal Fate of College Athletics (with the Hoeft Family)"
Episode Synopsis
In the fall of 2020, the University of Minnesota announced that it would be cutting four athletic programs. Perhaps the most prestigious of these programs to be discontinued was Men's Track and Field.
This decision hit particularly close to home for the Hoeft Family. Carson Hoeft, who was an NCAA All-American for the Gophers, and Joelle Hoeft, who is a runner herself and now expert activist for cut programs, are the parents of two standout athletes on the indoor and outdoor track and field teams, Eli and Owen Hoeft.
