NKU has no hotels real close, none within walking distance at all. Also limited restaurant access. However, they are in the process of developing a retail center at the main entrance to the university and have a lot of land very near BB&T Arena that could be developed in the future.

I know that Newport CC did have a good wrestling team at one time. I don't know when or why it was stopped. I would be willing to bet that declining enrollment and rising cost probably were factors. I don't remember Cov. Cath. having a team, but I wouldn't swear to that being correct, they may have had a team at one time?

I still find it amazing that some football coaches don't see how wrestling can actually benefit their program. Case in point......this past year the Ohio division 1 state champ in football was a school most here have heard of......Lakewood St Edwards. They are also the top ranked Div 1 school in wrestling in the final state poll. The wrestling team really held back the football team, didn't it? In fact, if you look at the 12 different football teams that played for a state championship in Ohio this year ( 6 divisions ), they All have good wrestling programs. If you look at the teams ranked in the current Ohio wrestling poll ( 3 divisions ), and compare them to the teams that made the playoffs for football this past season, you will find many of the same names....schools such as Cincinnati Moeller and Cincinnati Elder were in the football playoffs, and are wrestling sectional champions and ranked in the top 10 in the state. Haven't done the research, but I'd bet the same is true for Tennessee and Indiana.

I have known coaches at all of the NoKy schools for many years, including the ones mentioned, and would not have a problem with any of them coaching any of my kids. I am hoping that some of the kids at my school take the opportunity to work with some of them this summer. I have no problem whatsoever with either the Ryle or the Camp Co style. Both have their time and place.
Ryle is very close to winning a state title, but there are so many variables that effect who does and doesn't win. Coaching style is only a part of it.

IMO if you want wrestling to be treated as a 1st class sport, the state championships need to be held in a 1st class venue. The convention center is NOT a 1st class venue.
As far as the crowds....."if you build it, they will come"

Any location is going to faced with compromises. Just wanted to make sure that people not familiar with the location would be aware of these things.
