"If want to go DI, why can't a school like Newman or FHSU which are DII across the board just go DI in wrestling and maybe a women's sport? Is that something you would be allowed to do? I am thinking like high schools sometimes may end up 3a in Football but then be 4a in wrestling. Thoughts?"

Enlighten Me!

This is where Shawn Bunch went Edinboro, PA and they are NCAA Division II in most sports. Wrestling is Division I. I am not sure how it works. But Edinboro University, PA has a National Affiliation with NCAA Division II.
I could ask their athletic director - Bruce Baumgartner how the affiliation gets changed from DII to DI in only one sport. I believe their wrestling program is in a conference with other division I schools. For example Fort Hays wrestling might would have to join a different western conference or the midwest regional. I think one of the Dakota schools recently became Division I in wrestling.
