Commerce is clearly a football school. Other schools lean toward basketball and some toward baseball. Why these trends start or how is probably just timing or luck. It likely is hard for a small school to thrive in more than one sport if the athletes are pushed to stay away from anything except the main sport in the school. When the pool of athletes is a small one then other sports suffer. That is just the way it is. One example is Jefferson’s QB who apparenly is a great basketball player. He was allowed the opportunity to show his talents on the football field while helping the Dragons to one of their best season in decades. A team benefits from cross over athletes. The athlete sometimes gains nothing except extra work and the possiblity of injury. So hats off to those unselfish enough to help their school in more than one way.
