TeamGarcia Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) With D1 program Old Dominion shutting down it’s wrestling program. Will other programs follow suit ? They said in the press release they didn’t have the $ to support the program. They would save a million $ cutting it. I thought OD Wrestling had a great year. With the recruiting they had coming in was pretty good also . I think more programs will follow suit with smaller Football & Basketball program. With the Covid virus cutting into their $ to support other programs . Edited April 3, 2020 by TeamGarcia UncleJimmy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleJimmy Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Concur. The football season being in jeopardy will cost revenue even for smaller FCS schools and will give schools with minimal wrestling support a great excuse. Who were their recruits?

Disco Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 The virus will be the go to reason to drop many non revenue athletes programs. Wrestling as one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvertone1696 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 When I saw this i immediately thought of Sa'Derian Perry...the 141 pounder who will finish up his career having seen the demise of two D1 programs along with Eastern Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Unfortunately it will be a convenient excuse to use if a school is looking to cut a program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
