12 Men's programs and 3 women's programs have been started I think since Newman got the ball rolling in March, 2004
Not positive - but Kansas must lead all states in this category off adding college programs since 2000.

I believe since March 22, 2004 - Newman got the ball rolling.
Enough of the jucos adding. I know Hutch was talking about it, but had a change of heart when someone told them it wouldn't make sense if you pigeon hole them to Kansas kids only. I think however the tech/trade aspect is appealing, so I am surprised NCK Tech hasn't added.
Barclay college is free to attend, we should add there.
However, MIAA has Newman and FHSU in Wrestling, they really need to try to add another 1 or 2 MIAA programs (not necessarily in Kansas either, as I believe every MIAA team has at least 1 Kansas native).
Avila in KC area is joining KCAC, maybe there should be a push there for women's or men's?
