The only hope I see is that all the Wrestling facilities in Lied will now be available, and as far as I can tell all those renovations and additions are still moving forward at the Lied, even with the new facility.
So... could a womens team take over the Lied facilities? It would make an easy transition. But have to believe there is still a few things that have to fall into place for ISU to add womens wrestling. One is probably that there will have to be more D1 teams adding it to compete with. Right now Iowa I believe is the only D1 team. If a few schools in major wrestling markets band together to start up programs it could help. I just dont know how much womens wrestling is happening in other states, like is in Iowa. But if it is growing in other states like OK, AZ, PA, etc. like Iowa, some of the wrestling schools in those states could make it happen.
I just dont know if ISU will add any sport in the near future. Seems we are pretty content with what we have now, even with the growth of other sports around the country.
