Best of luck to Seth.  I would imagine the travel recruiting and during the season is tough on the family. Do he and Model switch positions or do we see some new blood enter the room? 

So, who's going to start the list of possible replacements?

The Hire of Max Askren to be the Head Coach will turn this program around competitively and financially.

Interesting.

Are they bringing in another athlete? Who is the assistant to replace him?

Who is that? Were they contributing before committing elsewhere?

With enrollment numbers down at most universities, you would think more schools would be considering adding men's and women's programs.  Most campuses have space they could convert to a practice area and almost all have a gym to host home events.  Plus the total cost of buying mats, singlets and some other equipment would be fractional compared to costs associated with other sports like: hockey, football, baseball/softball, swimming, etc.  With wrestling now being offered to both genders also solves the title IX hurdle.

I have often wondered how much it would cost to start any division wrestling program. 400k to 1.2 million depends on the level and that would be the cheapest. Coaches salaries, travel expenses and training for D3. 400k a year, would that do it?

Isn't it costing okie state north of 4 million a year adding DT and staff and NIL money? I am not including scholarships either. To hard to figure how schools do it now.

I wish more schools would add wrestling though. A no brainer when it comes to title 9. Probably is the cheapest or one of the cheapest sports.

Wisconsin could have had a major donor if they could have landed a certain AWA wrestler. Unfortunately Bono didn't see what he had and let it all drift away.

Second time: I don't think DT, Lee, etc are the GOAT

LET ME TRY THIS AGAIN.

That was a list of possible end of their wrestling career in the next few years that possibly would want to venture into coaching and have some name recognition to young wrestlers coming up now.

Seemed like a long name for a list.

Which means I don't think Lees international career will be long due to having no ACLs left.
