One of the proposals from the state as a possibility to save money for cash strapped schools is to cut after school activities and even sports. Im just curious if anyone has heard or knows of any wrestling, or other atheletic programs that may be cut around the state.
Even with this being a proposal I have yet to hear of any schools or programs that are getting dropped and I pray that this doesn't happen. It would truelly be a tragedy for those students who loose the oppurtunity in any sport, or organization.
A friend of mine recently told me of an article in the Indy Star in which a former Indiana Basketball coach conveys his feelings that in ten years high school atheletics will be obsolete, and replaced mainly by club sports. That is an even scarier scenario in my opinion. I know that in our state, and in our sport the school programs are much stronger than the club ones, if wrestling went to an almost completly club sport, I think it would kill our sport.
In sports like basketball, and baseball many coaches feel that the club (AAU, Summer baseball) sports are much better, and Atheletes recieve better competion, with less restricitons.
Another fear that I have is for the non-"superstar" athelete, who I feel gets lost in club atheletics.
What do you guys think.
