    Texas Rowing Dave O'Neill & Ropwingwolf

    Texas  Rowing Coach Dave O'Neill In this episode, we sit down with Texas Rowing Coach Dave O'Neill, fresh off leading the Longhorns to the 2024 NCAA Championship title. We kick things off by getting an update on the Texas program and what's next for the team as they build on their national success. We then dive into the biggest topic in collegiate rowing right now: the new NCAA scholarship regulations. With the shift to 68 scholarships in rowing, what does this mean for Texas and other Power 4 schools? Does this widen the gap between well-funded programs and smaller schools? And how will these changes affect the Ivy League, given their unique recruiting and financial aid structure? We also explore the NCAA boat classes,  should there be a sculling component, such as a quad (4x) or double (2x), added to the championship format? Looking beyond the collegiate scene, we discuss the Longhorns' presence at the 2024 Olympics. Finally, we examine the relationship between USRowing and the college system. What can each do to better support the other in developing the next generation of elite rowers? To wrap things up, we get Coach O'Neill's take on the current landscape of collegiate rowing. With rowingwolf ( Sean ) having a vote in the JRN polls, how should the top five teams shake out in both the men's and women's rankings?   Tune in for an insightful conversation with one of the top coaches in the sport as we break down the latest in NCAA rowing and beyond.
