After raising significant money, building a $1.2 million wrestling facility, securing recruits, finding a conference home in the Pac-12 and laying the groundwork for Division I wrestling (something the university itself committed to), Tarleton State has reportedly pulled the plug on the entire program before it even truly began.
Not just D1 wrestling… no club program either.
That’s devastating for the athletes, coaches and supporters who invested years into making this happen. Coach Leeth poured enormous time and energy into building something meaningful in Texas, a state that has LONG needed more high-level college wrestling opportunities.
Now athletes are left scrambling for new homes late in the cycle, donors and supporters are left stunned, and one of the most exciting potential growth stories for the sport is suddenly gone.
A D1 wrestling program in Texas was something the wrestling world should’ve been celebrating and rallying around- not watching disappear before it had the chance to fully take off.
Brutal situation all around. 👎🏼

Girls came to practice and Doug brought them up in front of the guys….
Doug- first to two TD gets a pokemon card 🤣🤣
Both scrapped hard- Lennon handled the loss well…..
Over 100 universities have dropped their Men's D1 wrestling program in my
lifetime. Entire conferences and states no longer have a D1 program.
( you can review the entire database of dropped programs across divisions at @mattalkonline )
🚨 JUST IN: Many Americans are calling on Team USA athletes to be SENT HOME from the Winter Olympics in Italy if they trash America on the world stage
"I'm here to represent inclusivity and diversity!"
It's simple. Say: "I love America and am proud to represent my nation."
IF NOT, GTFO!

🚨 BREAKING: Nicki Minaj just said the left needs to STOP putting down white people
Nicki says if black women felt put down in the past, "why would we want to do that to OTHER women?!"
"I don't need someone with blonde hair and blue eyes to downplay their beauty, because I know my beauty. You understand? It doesn't bother me a woman says she's beautiful. Why SHOULDN'T she feel that?!"
"Why would certain colors have to be afraid of loving themselves! Isn't that WILD?!"
SHE IS SPOT ON!!
