Lots of rumors of financial problems with the HWC

So how they are planning on building these huge wrestling facilities but having money problems?

Basically the donors blew their wads to make that happen and the money isn't there in the future

Sounds like they have the same financial planners as the UofI Hospitals.

Lol true. They're in rough shape moving forward. Funding just isn't there and the bigger donors aren't stepping up

 

[buf87]

Lots have changed with all fundraising & budgets with Coronavirus

They don’t pay contractors over there anyway so it’s a secondary issue.

So basically a little message board rumors is how this came to people thinking Metcalf is leaving?

I don't think anyone believes Metcalf is leaving. Iowa can't afford him

Yup. We should all be worried. If Iowa’s wrestling donor base is having issues then we should be just as concerned about ours. The major grain companies that are the customers of our biggest donors aren’t spending money right now and many are taking a bath.

That said, the president of the HWC and Brands have shot down the funding rumors. So who knows.

Funding problems with the HWC isn't a rumor. It's legit. Wait until this summer when things really get crazy over there

Of course they are going to shoot down rumors

Exactly. Like Novak and Brands are going to come out and say "yeah we're broke" lol

Or crazy over here...going to be a drop in grain bin sales

The problem is their big donors emptied their accounts for the new facilities and now aren't giving much anymore. Apples and oranges.

They'll lose more people just wait. Money talks and they don't have it and this is coming from a HWC donor

 

[losinglion100]

Not apples and oranges dude. We got their leftover donors....nobody is going to Canada this year

Keep in mind it isn’t just money...there’s been bad blood starting between Gilman and HWC...I think it’s just a repeat story like it was with Ramos.

So I was just told that the women in the HWC were told they needed to find a new home this summer unless some donors step up and can afford to keep them. I'm not big into women's wrestling but is that a big blow to their club?
