Perhaps most significantly, the Goodwill Games are showing a commitment to all disciplines of the sport and will put money into well-packaged, but real, competition, not into gimmicks.

New uniforms and pads, not every couple of years, but every year. The cross-country team has been wearing uniforms borrowed from the track team, until this year when we got new ones, but only for the varsity. I think we need a little equality for a sport that doesn't cost very much anyway.
