NJDan 676 Report post Posted March 18 What's with the all-black singlets? Is that a form of protest about cancelling the program? Also, if they do well, has the university given itself any wiggle room about changing its decision? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey Now 12 Report post Posted March 18 And their performance at NCAAs will have no bearing on Stanford admin's decision. They are doing all they can and it sounds like Stanford is not budging. Would like to see them go out with some AA's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However the truth of the matter is the Stanford admins simply don't give a damn. They set out to eliminate a bunch of Olympic sports for reasons only they know (can you say Academicians with an Anti-Sports agenda?). The Stanford wrestling supporters raised over 12 million to self-fund the men's wrestling program and the Stanford admins basically just shrugged their shoulders and said..........................SOOOOOOOOOOOOO???

I absolutely despise their administration & what they've done but their wrestlers will wear what the university says. I imagine they're letting them have their protest so to speak but the administration is still a bunch of low lifes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SetonHallPirate 846 Report post Posted March 19 Specifically recall CSU Bakersfield's wrestlers wearing identically-colored singlets (may have been the exact same singlets) after their administration announced they were dropping the program, including IN FRONT OF THE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT! That said, the University President ended up overturning that decision, and kept the program. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk One of the biggest advocates for girls wrestling and doing things for big picture health of sport I’ve ever met.. was a southern weight lifting teacher who never wrestled freestyle or after high school. Knowing or not knowing some old history facts is only tangential to looking at the big picture of the current situation Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
