Somewhere in this range below $380,000 - $675,000 for an annual budget/commitment by the state just for wrestling. Then add another women's sport with the same commitment. Or add men and women's wrestling at the same time sharing some of the facility and equipment costs. From the D-I athletic directors I talked to it takes about a $40-$50 million endowment in most cases to add a sport.
