Did not infer they were. They are still a very valid money saving athletic, academic and vocational option for lots of students and parents---especially in this economic atmosphere. And again, to expect some unknown Kansas D1 or D2 school to start a wrestling program is as I said, p------g in the Wind. And, to go to an NAIA school anywhere you better have $25,000+++, or be a potential Little All American athlete, plus be a gensis in both music and some academic medium so you can supplement the athletic scholarship with lots of academic financial support. How many local wrestlers do you really think will wrestle at Baker U. Yes, CCs are not Ivey league, but yes they do provide academic, vocatinal and athletic opportunities. And, the Kansas wrestling community is missing the boat if they do not press for 3 or 4 more CCs to add wrestling, and to severlly restrict the number of out-of-state student athletes on scholarship. Out-ofstaters come to Kansas for the exact reasons I have stated, sports, academics, or vocational training.

Thanks for your reply
