My response was that KU did not drop their program in 1966 as you stated. It was long before that.
I still think you are incorrect. I believe they did drop their program around 1966. This is directly from the article that was linked in my first post. Also I believe I saw evidence of this about five years ago when we were talking about Division I programs on this forum.
Mehringer's gold medal came as a surprise to many. Add the fact that he was a product of the University of Kansas, where basketball has always been king, it was even more of a surprise. The university hasn't even had a wrestling team since 1966.
