We have been through this several times. In order to obtain any new athletic program, it has to be funded. It takes approximately $500,000 per year to run the program. To endow that would be many millions. Then, we have this legal requirement of also including a women's program (Title IX)which also costs a similar amount of money. Then, you assume wrestling is in high demand and would be the next program funded, but I doubt that it is. So, instead of asserting the need for the program, we need to find out how to pay for it. Who will write the first check?
