Marshall University needs to get off of their A#@ and start a wrestling team.

AB did it.
WV Tech did it.
Bluefield State is doing it.

Just what is the problem in Huntington?

They don't have the will to do it.

Wasn't it Title 9 the reason it got cut years age? I sure if it could happen it would be a great place to start, there are many WV high school state champions that attend there now. You would think the Archer family would push it more Robbie would be a good start for the program.

Conference USA doesn't have any school with wrestling programs that I am aware of. That may be the biggest issue.

Really Bearhugger.. u think its just that simple huh?
Just a matter of someone "getting off their @#%"
Surely u know more about the complexity of adopting a new sport than that? Or maybe not.

Money
Conference affiliation
Title IX considerations
Revenue or lack thereof as in non revenue sport
Scheduling
Interest
Travel expense (money)
Scholarships ( money)

We dont even have our own baseball field!! Oh, let me guess someone simply needs to " get off their @##" in that regard as well.

I figure Marshall has more money than many of the other schools I listed above. MU has grown and grown...............all of which takes money.

As a graduate of Marshall University, I will once again say that the school needs to get off their A$$ and start a wrestling program.
