Vince,

A appreciate the depth of your research on the financial numbers. You're right that the current football situation at Kansas financially encumbers the athletic department. Interesting on the male to female ratios vs scholarship ratios. KU has more men at their school but gives less scholarships to men than woman. That in itself contradicts the objective of Title IX which is to have equal number of scholarship based on enrollment. Even if KU added a Men's sports team, wrestling would not be on top of the list under the current administration.

The Nebraska Athletic department should see more revenue in the long term from their Big 10 alignment and is a huge stabilizing factor for its wrestling team as the Big 10 will always support wrestling.

Maybe someday in this NCAA conference realignment mess, Kansas could end up in the Big 10. Kansas would almost be pressured to field a wrestling team as they would be the only team in the conference without it. Do you think this be enough to do it?

Also good to see the current revival of small college wrestling in Kansas. I think these small NAIA schools realize that they need to compete for students, and that providing an opportunity for wrestlers helps bring students to their institutions.
