zaniac 11 Report post Posted February 23, 2013 Wouldnt this be a great time to let UofL AD hear from the wrestling community? Schools,coaches, wrestlers,fans,KYSWA, KHSAA, grandma,grandpa ect. need to let UofL know we support NCAA wrestling. tom@GoCards.com http://www.courier-journal.com/article/20130222/SPORTS02/302220136 University of Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich said this week he is in the “talking stage” of adding more varsity sports. What sports should they be? U of L is moving to the Atlantic Coast Conference, which holds championships in two sports that the Cardinals currently lack on the varsity level: men’s lacrosse and wrestling. ACC teams also participate in a some other sports U of L could consider: men’s and women’s fencing and women’s gymnastics. U of L also has club teams in rugby and ice hockey, but those aren’t on the ACC’s varsity roster, either. https://www.facebook.com/questions/10151278602196993/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tiltfor3 20 Report post Posted February 25, 2013 Tom Jurich's son wrestled at Ballard. I saw him many times sneak in to watch his son. Can't say the same for his football coach, John L who had a son wrestle at Louisville, Eastern. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nkawtg 137 Report post Posted February 27, 2013 Maryland, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Duke, North Carolina, and NC State have wrestling, only four of those schools have mens lax (same group minus V.Tech and NC State) Uh, Maryland is a Big Ten school ! Pitt has a decent program and will be joining soon. Clemson had a great team with a roster full of Pennsylvania kids when I wrestled them in the early 1990s including Sammy "the bull" Henson. It's a great conference and UoL would fit quite nicely with a wrestling team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FalconWrestling 147 Report post Posted March 3, 2013 The thing that bugs me about Lacrosse is that 1. It isn't even a varsity sport nor a popular sport in Kentucky 2. Participation numbers for wrestling are WAY higher nationwide (wrestling is 5th, I think Lacrosse is like 9th) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
