The wrestling team disbanded in 1980 though they had success including winning the Mat Town tournament the year before in Lock Haven, PA. The reasons cited for dropping the sport was due to a lack of enough other competitive programs in the region, and a move toward more equity for funding women's sports. The gymnastics team was discontinued in 1986.
Yeah, I think Auburn lost men's wrestling to Title IX in '76 or '77. I would think that would have left the Dawgs precious little to work with.
