MUST READ: https://t.co/CypppM5aNz
Independent analysis by @andyhre shows estimated cost of roughly $300,000 to @EasternMichU by cutting sports. Furthermore, the cut immediately puts @EMUAthletics out of compliance with Title IX. So basically what we've been saying all along.
Eastern Michigan has arrived at the NCAA Tournament. 5 Qualifiers, all under class man. A year ago yesterday they stole our program. Today they wrestle on the biggest stage in College Wrestling. Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome. #Family
Zac Carson and Derek Hillman found themselves without a place to compete after Eastern Michigan's shutdown of its wrestling program at the conclusion of the 2017-18 season.
This year, the duo has found a new home in Athens with the Bobcats.

@SaveEMUWrest had their program taken from them. Here's a breakdown of where their competitors are now (to the best of my knowledge). I think it's safe to say this team would be competing for a MAC title. https://t.co/TJC84WSaU0
@ODUWrestling 's Sa'Derian Perry who was an AA for @SaveEMUWrest @saveEMUsports last year, will have his 1st major test this Sun Vs @MizzouWrestling 's Jaydin Eierman. Eierman won by fall last season. If Perry upsets Eierman, join me in blowing up @scottrwetherbee 's twitter.
@KentStWrestling@asulzer157 you and I are in agreement that what happened to Eastern is freaking terrible.
That being said, Very glad we got this guy! Still can’t believe EMU waited till they had their most talented team ever to cut the program. Their AD should be fired
What do Drew Mattin, Micky Phillippi, Nic Gil, Taleb Rahmani, Michael Coleman and @RyySolo all have in common?
Give you a hint @saveEMUsports @SaveEMUWrest@scottrwetherbee
Last season's EMU Open champs & because of poor decisions, the last EMU open champs that ever will be.
@nwcawrestling Wish EMU’s President James Smith had tweeter. Maybe then he could see that the current trend is for smaller university’s to + wrestling. Smart move by LIU, ^ the number of SA paying tuition, provides opportunities for SA to get an education that otherwise wouldn’t get the chance.
There were meetings held where @scottrwetherbee, James Smith, and the Board of Regents (@EMJ4real@Inthelobby@MichelleCrumm00) were told a Title IX lawsuit would be filed if the decision went through. They did it anyways and lost. Give a round of applause to our fiduciaries 👏🏻
Word on the street is that @EMUAthletics lost their Title IX hearing to softball. Another word on the street is that @EasternMichU sold the softball facility. Gonna be waiting for an official release soon...
