This is definitely great for the sport and will change the landscape of college and high school wrestling! Who will be the next Power 5 conference to follow suit? Iowa State?
I think it would be great but they have to get the budget ironed out.This is definitely great for the sport and will change the landscape of college and high school wrestling! Who will be the next Power 5 conference to follow suit? Iowa State?
What's next for those people? Midget wrestling?
My wife joined crew at her college. They didn't even have a boat at that time.It’s definitely more of a local sport than crew.
Good for the women's wrestling, but kinda confusing seeing that they just cut sports due to budget constraints.

I seriously hope you don't have daughters.
Regardless of the numbers, it is terrible optics to cut successful programs and within a year add a new one. Not to mention a terrible FU to the student athletes who were affected.I have no idea what the numbers are but I would think that wrestling is quite a bit cheaper to run than swimming or diving
Pretty cool, but I would imagine it will take some time to gather the kind of numbers it will take to make it a widespread, competitive sport.
Iowa reinstated the Swimming and Diving Program.Hope they talk with the swimming and diving program about having a lawsuit ready to save them from getting cut
the scholarship #'s would likely be about the same. iowa already had the students pay for a new swimming facility. a new wrestling facility is being built. All but one of their meets is a bus trip.I have no idea what the numbers are but I would think that wrestling is quite a bit cheaper to run than swimming or diving
