to make it happen. 16.2M just to endow the 9.9 GIAs...currently expendable at 74K per year per GIA. I'd guess coaching and other support FTE's somehwere around 500K per year, requiring an 11M endowment. And then maybe another 500K for operational expenses...another 11M endowment. Start up gift of about 38M.

And even then, title IX would be difficult to overcome.

Now, what might be an interesting argument is that a wrestling program would help the football team recruit certain types of athletes that we can't currently get.

I'm not sure how many football/wrestling two sport athletes there are anymore, but I remember Ryan Harris and two other guys in his recruiting class were all state wrestling champions and all three of them seemed to know leverage better than the other linemen.
