Row Temple's rowers are a perfect example of what college athletes are supposed to be: unbreakable, unspoiled and unfazed by adverse conditions.
Temple's rowers are a perfect example of what college athletes are supposed to be: unbreakable, unspoiled and unfazed by adverse conditions. While the indoor practice facility for Temple's football team was renovated just last year for $10 million, the crews operated out of a canvas tent that doesn't have heat or running water. The rowers use public portable toilets. Theobald told me that the university cut men's and women's crew because the facilities were so poor and the student-athletes deserved better.
