tec87 349 Report post Posted April 2, 2020 Saderian Perry is a senior on the roster but he came to ODU after Eastern axed their program and now he’s there as ODU axes theirs. Crazy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jchapman 1,330 Report post Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Was FLO trolling JB for April Fool’s? If not, somebody better take away his belt and shoelaces. This is horrible, but I can’t imagine it happening to my Alma Mater like JB. Edited April 2, 2020 by jchapman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MPC 14 Report post Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) I worry that this is the first of several programs. I work in higher education and the industry is facing a potentially devastating revenue shortfall as a result of COVID-19. Wrestling programs may be low hanging fruit for administrators forced to cut millions. The best thing the wrestling community can do, is donate to your local university's wrestling program endowment. Show schools that they would anger a large contingent of donors if a program is cut.

MizzouGrad 137 Report post Posted April 2, 2020 Old Dominion was a borderline Top 25 program and it is suddenly gone. They also recruited top-tier recruits from the Midwest all the way to Virginia. Terrible loss for wrestling. 1 TexRef reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not saying it won’t happen elsewhere, but sounds like this one was gonna happen anyway and they kinda just blamed it partially on Covid-19 1 CoachJSS reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Schools pay attention to people who donate to support programs. No matter the donation level it is significant. It is hard to get people to donate money to something with nothing expected in return for their gift. And small donors become big donors over time. Donating to college programs is significant. Anyone who values wrestling should be doing it. “I give in other ways.” Is often said by people but those other things don’t make an impression with the school and don’t impact decision making. 6 HurricaneWrestling2, TexRef, cjc007 and 3 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were a legitimate program; probably never a top ten team, but fielded a good squad given minimal history. Maybe the school getting D1 football a few years back made this bound to happen.
