College Opportunities have doubled in Kansas the past 11 years. St. Mary (new program 2017?) Baker University Barton Community College Benedictine College Bethany College Colby Community College Fort Hays State University Kansas Wesleyan University Labette Community College Neosho County Community College Newman University Northwest Kansas Technical College Pratt Community College Ottawa University Currently Cowley College is looking at starting a program as well. jonathan, Apr 14, 2016 #9 jm125 likes this. jm125 jm125 Varsity Level I have talked with the head coach at Kansas Wesleyan and he wants to get a girls program started there after a few solid years under his belt. Do we know why Kansas has had this amount of growth? Why can't some of our Jucos in Missouri adopt a similar tactic? How about resurrecting Meramec? jm125, Apr 15, 2016 #10 jonathan jonathan Administrator Staff Member jm125 said: ↑ I have talked with the head coach at Kansas Wesleyan and he wants to get a girls program started there after a few solid years under his belt.

I don't know the specific reason, but I do know they have a "Kansas College Wrestling Fund": It is the mission of the Kansas College Wrestling Fund to provide financial support for Kansas colleges and universities with active college wrestling programs. This financial support to Kansas colleges and universities will help provide wrestling, academic and eventual career opportunities for student athlete wrestlers in the State of Kansas. Individual and corporate donor annual gifting levels: Platinum Level-$5,000 and above Gold Level-$2,000 to $5,000 Silver Level-$500-$1,999 Bronze Level-$1-$499 jonathan, Apr 15, 2016 #11 jm125 likes this. NCMC4life NCMC4life State Qualifier Level With Columbia College adding women's bowling and men's lacrosse, it makes me wonder if there is an organized effort to push for wrestling to be added at the collegiate level in our state. Columbia College has added both baseball and now lacrosse in the past few years, so is seemingly open to adding new sports. http://www.columbiamissourian.com/s...cle_f4bbf276-2bff-11e6-a260-2bd5f00214ba.html Last edited by smokeycabin; 07/14/16 09:30 AM.
