This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

It's a long road but not impossible (EDIT) by stanford_07

Among the top ten most popular high school sports, boys wrestling saw the third-largest jump in 2018-19, behind track and soccer. Girls wrestling has grown exponentially in the last five years.

Yes, many D1 programs have been dropped in the last two decades. I'd argue that is due largely to wrestling being a Title IX scapegoat, not high school participation rates.

In fact, college wrestling has never been more nationally popular. It's now the fourth most-watched sport on the Big Ten Network, behind football, men's basketball and women's volleyball.

There are only four profitable NCAA championships each year: the Final Four, the College World Series, the Frozen Four and the NCAA wrestling tourney. And only two of those are big enough to hold in an NFL stadium.

Notre Dame wrestling could field a strong team for both men and women, just like it does in many Olympic sports. The sport would need a group of backers and some significant donors, but those aren't impossible roadblocks to overcome.
