There were only a few venues that sold out for a single dual during the @NCAAWrestling season. One being @pennstateWREST in Rec Hall, and the other being @CSUWrestling in historic Woodling Gym against NE OHIO rival @KentStWrestling

President @BrianOHemphill ... its been five years since your predecessor killed 60 years of history. I'm still waiting for you to take 10 minutes out of your life to talk to this particular alum. I've reached out over a dozen times via phone, e-mail and socials. Crickets.

CSU's plan to cut wrestling is a betrayal of students, alumni, and community values. Neil Waxman calls on the university to reconsider this short-sighted move. #savecsuwrestling https://t.co/5ufrVPAse8

Certain folks want NCAA athletes to be "employees"
They fail to mention the realities of how to pay for it:

—Increased student tuition fees? ✅️
—Slashing coaches' salaries? ❌️
—Cutting Men's Olympic sports? ✅️
—Eliminating scholarships/educational opportunities? Of course.

In just the past month, numerous NCAA universities in all 3 Divisions announced that at least...

‐‐ 57 non-revenue Olympic sports programs would be eliminated

-- 40 non-revenue Olympic sports programs would be downgraded

...impacting several thousand students & staff.

Some good news just coming in...

NCAA Division 2 University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown will be adding Women's Wrestling, Men's Swimming, and Women's Swimming, which they announced would help "strengthen the enrollment of the university"

$1.6 MILLION on the mat for CSU Wrestling! Ohio’s budget bill could SAVE the program and supercharge its future. This is BIG. #savecsuwrestling https://t.co/vDcxSljwtz

[clevelanddotcom @clevelanddotcom]

Will this be enough to keep the program alive and growing? https://t.co/xByO6bLLDO

[Save Cleveland State Wrestling @SaveCSUWrstling]

Cleveland State wrestling may get a second chance. The Ohio House budget proposes $1.6M over two years—split between sustaining the men’s program and launching a new women’s team. More details: https://t.co/oRvLhX91gX #savecsuwrestling

Despite a massive $70 million athletics deficit, Rutgers University still intends to allocate the full $20 million+ from the NCAA House revenue-sharing settlement to "pay" its Football & Basketball players and other athletes (per @StevePoliti of @njdotcom) https://t.co/XlUiq2R4ku

This is great stuff! 👏 Genuinely made me smile. Love this sport! @zzsmiller

[Save Cleveland State Wrestling @SaveCSUWrstling]

The recent elimination of Cleveland State University's wrestling program underscores the unintended consequences of the NIL settlement. As we navigate this new landscape, it's crucial to ensure that Olympic sports, which have long been integral to collegiate athletics and personal development, are not sacrificed. Let's strive for a balance that honors all student-athletes.

@PhilPlummerOH40 is fighting for @CSUWrestling! He’s introducing a budget amendment to save CSU Men’s Wrestling AND launch Women’s Wrestling. Speak up & demand CSU do the right thing! #SaveCSUWrestling

[Riley Shaw @rshaw35]

@Seth_Duckworth @CSUWrestling Only one of a few sports at CSU that the committee determined had a positive financial impact. Yet, Cleveland State still drops the program. Why? @BuiltBy_Jay @SaveCSUWrstling #SaveCSUWrestling 2/2

[Riley Shaw @rshaw35]

@Seth_Duckworth Per Cleveland State’s own steering committee report, @CSUWrestling has a net positive impact at CSU of about $100,000. Mainly because there are only 3 scholarships, but 35-37 Studnet athletes on the roster, all who pay tuition outside of athletic scholarship. 1/2
