Next time don't post when you don't know what you're talking about.

Quote:Despite the negativity surrounding the IOC's decision, college wrestling is showing signs of financial health and even rapid expansion. After decades of contraction among Division I programs, amateur wrestling has been tagged as a struggling sport. But in a time when questions about superconferences are in the ether, the broadening appeal of college wrestling offers lessons about the profitability and sustainability of small but fan-friendly collegiate sports.
The NCAA Division I wrestling championship is one of only five NCAA championships that made money in 2012. Between ticket sales, programs and merchandise, the tournament netted more than $500,000 for the NCAA. That ranked third behind men's basketball and men's ice hockey, topping every other championship, including the College World Series and the women's basketball tournament.
Ok, care to keep arguing w/ me?
I've been saying MAC should go after wrestling and hockey. Both suit the climate and region, both can make money (or lose less than other sports).
It wasn't just idle speculation (like KC's expansion threads comments).
