This is a great topic but it really is different for HS and post HS.

Dave Beazley, (Is a great coach, but could have been a great D1 coach), and if Kevin is at all like him, he would be too.

Funny, I keep checking this thread to see if there is any news on wrestling? Silly me.

Whatever, the point is made. When you guys don't like something you look for spelling and grammar. That just tells me the person making the point is correct.

You know, this was a nice topic about a good wrestler from an average wresting school. I appreciate the insight about what he needs to do, and even how tough it will be. So why do we have to go away from it and talk about how great PSU is? This is a Hillger, Wisconsin, topic so give the guy this at least.
-
I am really surprised that there is not more discussion about this on this board. Maybe I should see that as a positive thing? Everyone hears what these guys are saying and will do all we can to help, so no discussion needed.

in all seriousness though kids and senior level all favor freestyle. It’s the old guard that won’t let go.
I love when people say all, or most. Is this a study done with all kids in the nation and all senior level wrestlers? or all the ones you talk to? or pretty much all, it seems like?

Ed.D- practitioners degree, content focused, often no dissertation/thesis required, many for profit online schools offer these degrees. Shaquille O’Neal has one.
PhD- Doctor of Philosophy in *enter content area*, rigorous research AND content focused, requires dissertation that adds new and unique findings to the content area
MD- Medical Doctor
JD- Lawyer
BTW my PhD is in Educational Research and Evaluation and my BS and two MS degrees are in education, so it must be just because I’m really cool, clown.
I would be a little careful generalizing Ed,D programs as often, many, and certain people have them? Most programs now have programs, even PhD programs, on line. Are there stats that show that most don't require thesis? I have found the opposite. (maybe they were just good schools?) Also, does Shaq have an education degree, and a masters in education? Because most programs require that for an Ed.D? Anyway, like many things I am sure there are great programs and not so great?

I agree! We all can be bad fans at some point, especially when it is someone close to you. The worse fans are people who say they are big fans but, never go to matches, never watch matches, know nothing about local, state, or national wrestlers and so on. And, even then, I would rather have them than haters....

According to the report, based on the costs, soccer or baseball were the only other options. They chose wrestling because it's not in Conference USA and there are less D1 teams.
Sorry I have been out for a while but the problem I have is, when they went to conference USA I asked the AD about wrestling and he said "In no way will this effect wrestling."

If they wanted to direct resources to the bigger sports, why cut wrestling and not rowing? or others? Does rowing give national exposure? Have you seen the facilities, wow! Or do these other sports need to be prepared because it's coming? Baseball a lot of schools cut but it seems to hold at ODU?

Was he given the opportunity to raise funds to maintain the program for the long term? Did the administration consider any sort of request or was the decision already made?
I'm having trouble understanding how the OP started this thread with a question and that the wrestling community was seemingly caught off guard by this decision. It's not without precedent, but with communication the way it is today, I'm baffled by how this all took place so silently.
I do not know details but I do know at least assistant coaches had no idea. They need to pay for the new FB stadium some how?

The AD's email is wselig@odu.edu for anyone interested.
Was there a large donation or some other reason they are building a $3,000,000 women's volleyball arena?
Be warned that he won't give a darn. When they were switching to conference USA a few years back I was afraid they were going to drop wrestling. So, I sent him an email asking about it and if we would be notified. He did respond. He was a jerk about it and told me it was none of my concern. (I was a parent of a wrestler). It was worse than you would expect and I can say here. I responded to him that if I treated people the way he responded to me, I would lose my job. He basically responded that he didn't care. Just a warning.

It was impossible to qualify for the NCAA tournament and meet the requirements.
This was the idea behind spring sports getting it and winter sports not getting it.
Thank you, How about strange times call for strange solutions?

Don't they sometimes give a redshirt to a wrestler who gets a season ending injury? Maybe make people apply for it?
-
I am probably missing something as usual, but, why can't they at least allow last season to be a redshirt season if you have one available? For example, I wrestled all year, I was a national qualifier, (so still wrestling), and the season was forced to stop. Now I am allowed to say I will take this year as a redshirt year. If you don't have one, well.....

Unfortunately I have seen this happen before. I have also seen the flip side where they decided during the tournament not to wrestle back for a true spot. The NCAA should have a rule that forces this, one way or the other. Also, college coaches are terrible at talking to kids about these things. I don't get why?
-
I think Indiana State was pretty good?
-
Maybe this was said but.... What if they just allow anyone who still has a redshirt available to now use it for this season even though they wrestled all year?
-
It's always easy to second guess a decision unless you are forced to make the decision.

If it is not the NCAA tournament than you are NOT the NCAA champion.
If anyone puts together a tournament "to see who is the best" that does not mean the winner is the best, or the national champion. The best that day, maybe if all are there. NCAA best, no. There is more to winning than just winning. At the NCAA tournament, your coach plays a big part. Things are paid for, school is excused, and helped with, food and work outs are monitored and discussed. There just is a lot of other issues that come into play.
College Season ??

I could (probably) be wrong but I think the majority of the time, the 9th place Big 10 guy would beat them?
