Eric- That part I get. But Wichita St, K-State or KU having wrestling won't necessarily make someone in Kansas build an arena large enought to hold these functions in. Let's face it, Kansas is not a "destination" type state-people don't come here to view sporting events or entertainment, except maybe college sports. The issue of D1 sports is way more complicated and expensive than most posters on this site seem to understand. For example, Mizzou was #1 in NCAA polls for much of the year and their highest duel competition attendance was less than 3,000, and that was virtually free to get in. Yet the MO state high school tournaments draw many thousands, just like KS does. We need to support these venues and get these in decent arenas. These events are what make the sport great- these are what kids dream about and hold with them for a lifetime. Read, if you haven't yet, the Sports Illustrated article about Iowa wrestling, it was one of the best I have ever seen. A great quote, or paraphrase by me, from that article by Tom Brands, talking about his high school days on a bus ride home from Vets Arena-State Tournament- "No matter what you do the rest of your life, you will always be a state champion...." Do you guys see kids thinking that when they ride home from Olathe Northwest, or do you see 10 year olds sitting in the stands at Olathe Northwest dreaming of wrestling there someday? I don't.
