Attendance numbers of the other Big 12 schools would be a great thing to have in hand when approaching them. I think the three major concerns of the any athletic department are revenue generation, Title IX compliance, and alumni support. If any heads are to turn all three of these angles need to be attacked.
Big 12 wrestling has major support. If someone has attendance figures for the Big 12 wrestling programs post them. Big 10 numbers may be nice to have as well. Many of those schools are close enough for regular competition.
The school can still be in compliance under the new clarifications as I understand them. The recent Title IX clarifications by the Department of Education can be further explained.
There are many K state wrestling alumni still involved in Kansas wrestling. If their voices were heard it would certainly help with persuasion to bring the program back.
On another note…Those recent attendance numbers are pretty amazing for a club team.
