College opportunities for student/athlete wrestlers has doubled in Kansas in the last 11 years. Demand is high in the state - as is evident of the addition of six - 4 year college programs and the addition of 2 more community college programs in recent years. I am not sure if the Kansas Wrestling Community is bucking national trends - but Kansas and its colleges and universities has to be one of the front runners for adding the most wrestling programs and educational opportunities over the last decade.

My son just won is second title the past weekend. He was has only heard from three on the above list. He is going out of state to wrestle next year.

D-III program - no scholarships I believe - except academic


I think Wisconsin has an adjoining state agreement on tuition with Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa and maybe Upper Michigan - I would need to do a little research on that. 16 kids on this state funded institution are from another state. The upper Mississippi River divides Minnesota and Wisconsin.

James,

"Cody has done a nice job of getting Kansas wrestler. What about the other Kansas school?" I agree.

I will get you the links to the other programs in the state.
Any particular school you want me to look at first?

There are 2 schools of thought - dollars that come from out of state tuition into Kansas are good for the economy. Opportunities from in state publicly funded 4 year schools are few and far between - there is one. Without having time to study everything you are asking me to do - I have a hunch that wrestling programs crossed the country have a similar make up of out of state wrestlers. Ivy league schools will have a different ratio then the Big Ten, PAC 12, MAC, EIWA, NAIA schools will vary within the state - alot has to do with geography and recruiting budgets. DIII Schools for the most part a state funded institutions (formally teacher colleges) and they tend to draw in state kids.

Benedictine in the NE part of the state may have a little different recruiting radius say compared to Ft Hays, Colby CC or NW Tech.

Bottom line, the Kansas coaches are missing Kansas wrestlers. They need to get a head of the game. Keep the kids in state! Thank god for live stream.

No doubt some Kansas kids get overlooked. But I do know that we have 7 more head college coaches (or will have 7) and plus many assistant coaches with jobs in the state than we had before. Plus 70 starting positions to fight for and approximately 210 young men and women (30 per team) going to college in this state. 11 years ago we only had 60 starting positions at Kansas Colleges. There are only 130 starting positions available(70 at 4 year schools and 60 at 2 year colleges) - that is not very many. Most freshman straight of high school will not start in college. I do not care what level the college freshman thinks they are at - they need to develop the majority of the time and earn their spot on to a roster.

The best suggestion I can give every high school student/athlete who wants to wrestle in college and their parents/guardian get good or great grades. It opens up so many more doors.

Some of today's college wrestlers are tomorrows club, middle school, high school and college coaches.


Here is an example of 2 DIII schools in Wisconsin funded exactly the same way. Geography and location in the state plays an important role where the wrestlers come from.

2013-14 UW-Oshkosh Wrestling Roster – no athletic scholarships offered only academic.
This state funded college closest drive to a neighboring state would be Upper Michigan 1.5 hours, Illinois 2.5 hours, Minnesota 3.0 hours, and Iowa 3.5 hours) Only 3 kids from out of state.

Your numbers on the ladies side are correct but I don't think they tell the whole story. I'm am pretty sure we signed 100% of the ladies from Kansas last year. I don't recall any KS girls going out of state last year. I could be wrong. We have signed all but one this year so far and she picked another school based on her major.
