Having WSU wrestle in the Big 12 would probably be possible Vince. Boise State competes in the Pac 10 for wrestling and Northern Iowa has been approached about joining the Big 12 as well.

WSU would be the logical D-I choice, but pursuing movement at the juco, NAIA, D-III and D-II levels would be the right place to start. Show the D-I schools that wrestling can be sucessful and you may get some movement.

But then the ball will be in the Kansas wrestling community's court. Go to the meets, take your wrestlers from all levels and show the colleges that this is a sport that will be supported as a whole. The last thing they want to do is start these programs, then hold meets in front ot 30 people.
