No..unfortuantley they aren't taking an active part in our sport..We do have discussions w/ them regarding this and meetings workign w/ the program to get it started but we'll see how far that can get us w/ little pull over Weiser and Wefald...hopefully in the coming years we'll se a greater uprise in their intrest as we push for a d-1 sport in wrestling...I am happy to announce though at the last dual..we had rouglhy 80 people show up to our normal 15...the stands where full in the gym and many people that were passing by stopped to watch and inquire about our wrestling program.
80 is pretty dang good at a "club" dual. I know some DI's that pull only 250 so that is very good. The thing admin will look at though is attendance in Big XII conference for dual which is unfair to judge this early...maybe if Kstate can convince a DI in the Big XII to move a dual to a neutral site and have it at KSU, then we could get the ball rolling.
