Yeah, I got your joke, but it made me think—a dangerous situation, to be sure.Not sure, but that's their first commit.
I'm afraid Clarissa Chun may be setting herself up to be torn down for an inability to develop recruits. 😉How in the hell do they keep getting all these top P4P recruits???!!!
Something is amiss.
No idea how many. In time, those schools that take on Women's Wrestling will try to get as many endowed as possible, not unlike any other sport. It is not yet out of emerging sports status, that will take years.
Welker is very good but who decided she is #1 PFP? I would go with Kennedy Blades.Hopefully the rest of the Big Ten gets its collective rear end in gear and doesn't let Iowa rule women's wrestling.

Kennedy obviously wasn't right at WTT last year, but Welker technically beat her there (w/ Kennedy injury defaulting after passing out cold). Welker was winning at the time of the (re)injury.
What? This is huge completely new, unheard until this very second news!
And yet you felt the need to respond with your inane post so apparently you DO have some interest.
So is it the trifecta of womens, freestyle, and Hawkeye that breeds such indifference, or do one or two of those weigh more heavily for you?

Drop women's tennis or golf. No one cares about or goes to watch these two sports and add a women's wrestling team! I really enjoyed watching the women wrestle in the Olympics. I guarantee it would get a lot of support at PSU. I would watch all the matches. The matches with Iowa would be great! Cael should get it done like Brands did at Iowa.
No.
We are having revenue problems in the athletic department and we have an AD that can raise a dollar to save her life. We can give up one small non revenue sport for another without violating Title IX.
Wait until it has the same rules regarding participation as swimming.
I said I had equal interest not zero interest. It is nice but not exactly the level of a number one male recruit to me. I have never watched women's college wrestling, but perhaps I will at some point. I do enjoy watching the women at the International events at times. Will the D1 women wrestle folkstyle or freestyle? The title pulled me in. If it had said women's number one recruit I wouldn't have read or commented.
Probably a combination of things. I have four grandsons who wrestle, but no granddaughters. I'm old and there were no women wrestling most of my life. I'm not much of a freestyle or greco fan no matter which sex is competing. I would and will probably buy tickets if ISU starts a team up, but I really wouldn't spend money helping eastern iowa university on purpose. This is a great thing for Iowa women's wrestling, but it is no big deal to me because I really don't have that many (any)annoying Hawkeye women's wrestling friends or enemies.
Thanks for explaining! I’d only point out that it’s all wrestling—and some of the women are very, very good at it. But I get it—we can’t invest ourselves in everything. It’s sacrilege around here, but I’m going to be an Iowa (and Lock Haven) Womens team fan up until when I don’t have to be anymore.
The greatest tax loophole in the United States is that major colleges run a professional sports league in football and basketball and they don't (have to) pay Unrelated Business Income Tax.
