More apt question, should we cut wrestling and add baseball? Yes.
More apt question? That is a much dumber question.

lol. We'd be horrible at baseball for years.
How's that different from wrestling?
I mean if our expectations are national championships, we ******* suck. At least with college baseball it's a growing TV market and would be super valuable to a future conference network
We finished 12th out of 79 div I schools, which puts us in the top 15% percentile. Are we happpy with 12th? Nope, but we certainly don't suck.
I wish we had baseball too, but your frustration is misplaced.
Not really. 79 wrestling programs is way down from 10 years ago. How many will last another 10 years? 20 years? 30? At least baseball has staying power and the potential for TV revenue. Wrestling will never earn a significant amount from TV.
And our goal at ISU is 1st place, not 12th. If we can no longer achieve that, which we have not done in like 30 years, then it's time to call it quits.
I lived at 507 welch 12-13. Lots of great memories. But omg.. that place was a hole. Probably in better condition in your day.I thought JP extended KJ last year?
I was a Soph, crashing at 507 Welch at the time we won the NT in 87. I remember listening to results on KCCQ. When we won, it was awesome. We bought kegs, did 3 in a row through Monday night, completed the Triple Lindy.
Results have not been what we what or expect, but it seems like the tide is turning. Kyven winning was awesome!
I think the class coming is a good one and we should keep KJ, but I refer to Judoka and Buff as they are our go to guys when it comes to WR.
So get rid of basketball too? Or is first place not our goal in basketball?

If we want to restore our wrestling (& other Olympic) program, and I am, we ISU fans need to step up and at a minimum buy tickets and/ or donate; otherwise imo, firing coaches won't get it done.
