I don't know about WSU being approached on the idea in the past. It would not surprise me that a group has approached WSU's administration about the prospect of adding a NCAA Division I program.
I believe that we will have a program someday at WSU. I have no idea when but I really believe it will happen. I also believe it is going to happen at KSU and KU. If we can have basketball programs then we can have wrestling programs too at these universities. Right now we have too many kids wrestling at the youth and high school level in Kansas for this not to happen. I believe as wrestling continues to grow in popularity the momentum will be too strong to prevent it from happening.
This is the best character building sport out there. If we individually keep promoting our sport and keep kids involved in it, then it is going to happen someday.
