Yesterday, the regent's for Nebraska University of Lincoln announced that the school will leave the Big 12 and go to the Big Ten. I was wondering if anyone has any idea's how this might affect college wrestling, both in the Big 12 and in general?

I know this is somewhat off topic, but was the wrestling program at carson newman college in tennessee eve reinstated?

adam brown will probably be south oldham's 215 pounder. he didn't wrestle regions last year because of an injury but was runner up to ichiro chiba 2 years ago.

I am a senior this year and I am looking to wrestle in college. at the school websites of union college in kentucky and university of the rio grande in ohio I asked if there was any chance of them starting wrestling teams anytime soon. I still have yet to get a response from either school. but I think if either of these or any colleges get enough prospective students asking for a wrestling team, this might be a way to get them to consider starting teams.

I just found out that a new high school is opening in shelby county in fall 2010. I belive it's called Martha Layne Collins High School. This might be a good school for trying to start a new team at.

how far is cooper from louisville

I'm probably gonna be at 145.

now that i think about it, schools like taylor county, corbin, campbellsville, williamsburg, and adair county, who have local college teams, are most likely to be some of the newest teams we'll see in the next few years. surely some former college wrestlers with teaching majors from one of our states current college teams will apply for a teaching job at these schools, and they'll ask if the can start a wrestling team. and, if georgetown, union, and pikeville start teams, we might start to get schools like scott county, boyd county, somerset, hazard, paintsville, southwestern, pulaski county, bell county,and the schools in pike county all starting teams.

In kentucky I would like to see union college, georgetown, and pikeville start wrestling programs. their already in the mid south conference, which now sponsers the sport. other mid south schools to convince would be virginia-wise, shorter college in geogia, lambuth university and bethel college in tennessee, and faulkner university in alabama.

here are some other schools to petition about starting teams: somerset: a long-time state powerhouse in most sports. mercer county: yearly state contenders in football. adair county: the home site of the up-and-coming lindsey wilson college NAIA wrestling program. pulaski southwestern-a regional football contender yearly. mayfield-a small school football power. pulaski county:yearly class 5-A football power. bell county: defending class 4-A football state champions could become a highly competive wrestling school within a few years of starting a team. paris:a class A football powerhouse yearly, could become a small school wrestling powerhouse too. taylor county:located in same town as the campbellsville university tigers. christian academy of louisville: has highly competitive athletics program, state powerhouse in track and cross country. williamsburg:home town of the university of the cumberlands, a NAIA powerhouse and multi-time womens national champions.

i did some research on the KHSAA web site, and here are some dropped programs i found: belfry- 1 ind. state champ frankfort-1 ind. state champ owensboro-1 ind. state champ boyle co.-1 ind. state champ ballard- 7 ind. state champs trigg co.-1 ind. state champ they also listed east carter,pike county central,owensboro catholic,campbellsville,henderson county,pike county, prestonburg, and oneida baptist.

well, if thats the case, wait till he retires, then petition the school to start a team. he's getting pretty close to retirement age, isn't he?

yeah, i heard about that too. personally i hope they do. i think if we could get all the JCPS's to start teams it will encourage other schools in the state to pick up the sport.

here are the schools to push into starting teams: newport central catholic-1967 KHSAA team champs, 1966 KHSAA runner ups. 12 ind. state champs. northern kentucky powerhouse in football. waggener-1971\1982 KHSAA runner ups, 10 ind. state champs. highlands- state powerhouse in football and many other sports, could be wrestling contender within 4-5 years of starting a team. hazard- eastern kentucky powerhouse in most sports. located in a good, solid wrestling region. e-town- located in wrestling strong hardin county, could be state contender in 4-5 years of starting a team. paintsville-cross town rivals of top ten finisher johnson central, a eastern kentucky powerhouse in most sports, located in a town that respects wrestling. bardstown-state powerhouse in football and track, located in a tough wrestling region, potenial small school power. louisville male- 1 of the few JCPS schools without a team, could be a state contender within 4-5 years of fielding a team. beechwood-2X defending class A football state champions, potenial northern kentucky small school powerhouse. lexington catholic-state powerhouse in most sports, could be state contender within 4-5 years of starting. shelby county-strong athletics program with a proud tradition, has under used in-county talent. lexington christian- another potenial small school powerhouse. covington catholic-all boys school located in talent rich northern kentucky. bowling green-state football powerhouse. if a team is started in the bowling green area it could help raise interest in the sport. campbellsville-the home town of NAIA powerhouse campbellsville university dosn't have any local in-county high school teams? whats up with that?
