    Why is Penn State lagging behind in women's wrestling?

    Look at it like this: if any of the women's sports that are currently losing 7 figures a year were trying to be added in this day and age, it would not happen. The fact that they've been "grandfathered in", along with Title IX is enabling these sports to continue. The bottom line is that...

    Why is Penn State lagging behind in women's wrestling?

    I have no information about the state of Lock Haven's athletic department and how they allocate funds.

    Why is Penn State lagging behind in women's wrestling?

    According to the 2022-2023 NCAA report, Iowa women's basketball was $4.4 million in the hole, so doubt they were digging out of that hole this past year.

    Why is Penn State lagging behind in women's wrestling?

    That sounds good on the surface, but isn't reality for PSU's athletic department. The balance sheet on any women's sport is ugly. Just check the latest NCAA report released in January for the 2022-2023 year. PSU is much closer to cutting sports, not adding another cost center to the athletic...

    2024-25 PSU Lineup (The Dynasty Continues)

    Not just idle, but recovering from surgery. Also, that point could be moot if the plan is to redshirt Levi, leaving a spot at 157. Kasak plans on filling the open spot, no need to worry about any competition at 149.

    2 Quick Questions for Freestyle experts

    The confusing part is that the wrestlers often ended up slamming directly onto the area between mats with no padding. If you allow scoring sequences to continue OOB, there should be sufficient protection for these guys.

    it's time to get rid of Greco Roman!!!!!!!

    I think that's kinda the point here. Most of us don't watch it and don't offer an opinion normally. When people are forced to watch something in which they have no interest, you're going to get these types of reactions.

    it's time to get rid of Greco Roman!!!!!!!

    How true is the following statement?: Generally, the guys competing for the USA Greco team are wrestling Greco because they weren't as successful in freestyle. I'm sure that's not 100% accurate, but my feeling is it's more accurate than not. Throw in the fact that many (not all) of the Greco...

    "I've represented the USA at 74kg, with the utmost class, respect, and dominance since 2011. Shame on anyone who rooted against me today." - Jordan Burroughs, 2015 Unfortunately, that quote pretty much sums up the entire situation...you better kiss the ring.

    Definitely wouldn't mind if they segregated the disciplines for these events, but understand why it's done this way.
