Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion College Baker University - hired Jimmy May first coach

None of this matters to me men, and it has nothing to do with Jimmy May. It is irrelevant in every way to me that whoever he is, he is accomplished. Good for him, lots of people are. It is also highly irrelevant if I like it or not. I am totally unimportant and whether or not I "support" him or not is so unimportant that it defies explanation. I am just a man with an opinion. I will support him and Baker to the exact same degree they have supported Kansas wrestlers and coaches and it will make exactly the same amount of difference. None. The point is these jobs are precious few. They will not come along often and if everytime they do, the grass is greener in Nevada, or Oklahoma, or some other planet, then none of these young former NCAA placers and champions will ever ply their trade in this state. The end result of that will be that the out of staters that are hired will go to the areas they know best to recruit and fellas that ain't here. I am not a cheerleader for college programs, I am a life long Kansas wrestler and coach and it bothers me that this just keeps happening over and over again. This is my last thought on this deal and I don't delude myself into thinking what I think is important or matters it is simply what I think. I am not alone.

By the way I coached in that league for six years and in NAIA for eight and I am very well aware of the enourmous cost of private education. I sold that for a while and it is tough.
