Stanford cuts wrestling, 10 other sports.

[Blue Ruin]

Most of those cut are niche sports, such as sailing, squash, and synchronized swimming. But the loss of wrestling indicates that even schools with huge endowments are struggling with the pandemic's economic fallout.

Honestly it might be a Title IX thing (wrestling being included that is)

Stanford has an endowment of $27 Billion. Yeah, they are struggling to get by.

Eff Palo Alto.

Yorkville standout Stemmet will have to find another school. That sucks.

Exactly they cut women’s sports like field hockey, synchronized swimming, and had to then axe Mens sports to match (men’s volleyball, wrestling). Most the other sports cut are coed or have a men’s and women’s team so things were balanced.

yeah, I was at Illinois State when they cut wrestling and mens soccer to even things out.

SIUE - many years ago - had to kill a nationally strong program that produced Olympic wrestlers in the name of Title IX.

Real Woods from Montini now has to find a new school also.

But the school says that they're still welcome and can graduate if they choose. I'd go to Palo Alto, simply because it's so beautiful. Wrestlers can get their wrestling kicks by taking a Gracie class somewhere.

Nathan Traxler (Marmion) as well? I think he's a RS Jr. Gabe Townsell (OPRF) was a SR so he's unaffected.

Colleges around the country are facing class action lawsuits from students and parents for charging tuition for in-person class and not delivering.
Can you think of a more deserving bunch than colleges to get their comeuppance?

I saw that and felt for the kid. He will likely have his choosing of other spots to land, but thats tuff for a kid to make that change. I grew up with his Mom. Looks like they've raised great kids-
