hahaha when I say OSU, I am not talking about Ohio State. There is only one OSU and it is in Stillwater. You can be insulted all you want, but as a KU alum and a life long wrestling coach in this state, I know for a fact that they want nothing to do with wrestling in any form. Zenger was a high school basketball player and a football coach, he has no wrestling roots at all. I love KU as much as anyone but I am not blind to the fact that they don't care about anything but basketball there and they got rid of anyone that did.
I got a whole closet full of OSU (that is Oklahoma State) gear. I bought every single piece of it in Stillwater, Oklahoma. I don't need to have OSU explained to me, and certainly not by some tour guide co-ed.
K-State dropped wrestling before Title IX was even an idea. They lost $150,000 dollars worth of free western Kansas beef the next day and it still didn't bother them. We have been sabotaged by the roundballers and any other spin is just head in the sand revisionist history.
Heck Bryce Durbin, the original head of wrestling in Kansas and his stooge, Dick Brown that followed him were ex- college basketball coaches. Wrestling, in the state of Kansas, has been sabotaged at every turn by ex-basketball coaches and administrators. I was in on some of that junk with them and I know they laughed when they did most of it. KU and KSU should never be mentioned in the same breath with wrestling. They didn't get rid of it because of Title IX, they got rid of it because it didn't involve a round ball and a basket.
