I can't say that I argue about the popularity of wrestlng in KS, but I don't think it's time just yet to add this program back to KU. Many schools are looking at dropping their wrestling programs every year because of Title IX. Even some of the powerhouse programs.

I didn't look at any of the links on your post Mike, but how many NCAA women's teams are there currently? I ask this because you mentioned that it wouldn't impact T9 if we added a women's program. If there aren't enough to make scheduling easy and inexpensive, then there would be problems other than Title IX problems. There also is concerns about how that all is measured. If using the student population ratios, you'd have to have more women's than men's schollies. That would then mean, possibly, giving scholarships to women to wrestle just regardless of their actual desire to wrestle.

That is just one SMALL example. There are simply too many things to take into account before you start adding programs. These deals that have been cut will take some of the pressure off of men's bb, and to a lesser extent fb, in order to keep the athletic department solvent. Those two programs are the only two that currently generate any revenue for the school. Give it a couple of more years, and as women's bb, baseball and some of the others begin to become closer to self-sufficient, then it may be time to start talking about adding programs.
