I can’t say for certain what they have been doing because I am on the outside looking in but it reduces outside interest in the sport. If I was a guy who became interested in the sport because I watched the Olympics and I went to a relay meet and saw none of my favorites I would be disappointed and will not attend another meet. Take Texas Relays as an example, the professional relay sections had 2 teams. I think they should hire a relay director that knows how to combat egos and they should host an effective relay camp before major competitions.
