Fans @ NCAA wrestling tourney sending message to Stanford


Mar 20, 2021, 8:42 PM

165 lb-er Shane Griffith of Stanford won the national title. In the post-match, all the fans in attendance broke out into a "Keep Stanford Wrestling" chant while Griffith donned a Hoodia with the same phrase.

Those unaware w/ backstory, Stanford's wrestling program was one of the sports the school announced would be cut at year's end. A group of former alumni have been fighting for the school to reverse the decision, & have also raised over $12 million that would essentially fund the program (several of the other programs @ Stanford have done similar alumni support & fundraising efforts). However the school has refused to overturn their decision despite the funds raised by the groups.

Contribution.so they fund everything for another yr, what about the yr after that and the next and the next. That's what the school is looking at.

Wrestling doesn't take much $ to fund a team as much as some other sports

scholarship limit of 9.9 which are usually split among the wrestlers (not many full-rides among a sport that averages 30 participants per team) & in terms of facilities, equipment, travel costs for competition, etc, not as much overhead as some other sports. That $12 million would fund the program very well for years to come (from what they said on the broadcast, would essentially have the program set going forward)
