OCU Wrestling Women

[RovertoSolo]

Women's college wrestling is not an NCAA Division I sanctioned sport, do you think it will ever be.

This is a good article on the sport. Here's part of it.

Quote:

Under the leadership of Archie Randall, who coaches both the men's and women's wrestling programs at OCU, the Stars have won the National Wrestling Coaches Association national duals championship in all three years of the program's existence, including this season. Last year, the Stars also won the Women's College Wrestling Association championship. The Stars will try to defend their WCWA championship on Jan. 30 in Marshall, Mo. "We probably have the most talented group of girls here at our place," Randall said. "We basically dominate everyone in college." ... OCU and most of the other major women's college wrestling programs compete as members of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. OCU competes against 15 colleges in the United States -- notably Missouri Baptist College, Missouri Valley College and King College (Tenn.) -- about 23 Canadian colleges and competition internationally.

Title IV has already killed some smaller mens sports at schools as they have to keep the number of sports for each gender available. If they sanction womens wrestling that means the school who fields a team for it will have to ax another mens program. That being said there may be a small number of schools who are willing to do so but i doubt any of the large bcs type schools would.
