Women’s Wrestling

[AltoonaFish]

I have seen some rumors circulating about ISU getting a women’s program. I’ve come to the really source, to see what truth there is behind this.

Word going around is that it's a club team...

With the current financial situation in the the AD, I don’t see any additional sports, especially women’s wrestling.

I just came her for the same reason. With the NCAA sanctioning it, I figure more DI teams will add it so that Iowa isn't the only team anymore. I was thinking ISU would wait a year or two before adding it, but they should add it before UNI does.

I just don't think there is any $ to add it

Please please please let this be true. As a HS girls wrestling coach, it’s so exciting and is a game changer for the university

I have been told it was announced today at AAU Girls State and it will be a Club team

They are going D1 while adding the baseball team.

Did Iowa start out as a club team or did they go straight to being a varsity sport

Started with their training center.

Is that to start an AD program or a club? I’m not in favor of a program which would take money from an already tight set of sports.

Come on man…. No wrestling fan should be against adding a new wrestling team. Men or women

Who's going to pay for it? Can't start a sport on credit.

Sincere question here, What do you think it would cost to get one started??

I heard about this today and this is false. There are currently no plans to add a women's wrestling program at Iowa State so unless you hear that type of news directly from an ISU source I would continue to operate under the assumption that it isn't coming for the foreseeable future.

Revenue sharing definitely just made the growth of women's wrestling more difficult. Schools in general aren't going to be looking to add more programs when they're about to have to figure out how to handle NIL within their current programs! Just weird and crazy times and a subject I am sure we're going to see heavily discussed this offseason.

Sorry but I'll disagree if it's not breaking even no reason to add it.
The A.D. is about to go through what I think will be a massive stress test. No need to add extra stressors.

A club team wouldn’t have anything to do with revenue sharing though .

A club team is definitely a different story! I was told that what was shared was news of an official program.

I won’t pretend to know all the details on how adding a club team works but I believe it’s tied to student fees and fundraising. I’m curious what the approval process looks like.

 

[jkbuff98]

I do trust my source that this was announced and as a club team, I’m assuming some didn’t hear or understand the club part and spread the word of a team starting . Not sure how any of that works either.
