Re: ASU Wrestling Dropped Effective Immediately Love can’t possibly understand the amount of stress she has put all of our young athletes under! It was so cruel the way they dropped this bomb on them. How heartless do you have to be? And her excuses make me ill! Ohhhhhh, finals, ohhhhhhhh the tennis team is still competing, economics, blah, blah, blah! She could have told the wrestling team and Swim team months ago, I know the wrestling season was over in Feb and they could have had time to plan for their futures! Oh, but I’m sure the wrestlers are ever so GRATFUL they could take their finals in peace verses having a college team to compete at this coming season!?!? Is this Love person for real? Even if ASU can’t afford these 3 sports (which I still do not believe) there is absolutely no excuse for the timing and manner in which Love decided to inform these poor kids that they are SCREWED! Love has not only embarrassed herself, but she made the college & state of Arizona looks bad as well. Ortiz just signed 4 new guys, all out of state kids. They all turned down other offers I’m sure, so now what? They beg for the other offers back? Guess what, THEY ARE GONE! Given to other wrestlers… How could Love let that happened! She knew they were cutting the program, yet still allowed Ortiz sign new wrestlers… And other colleges have already signed their new wrestlers and spent their budgets, so even though they would love nothing more than to sign some of our athletes the money is no longer there! I just want to express how sorry am I that ASU did this to our Arizona athletes! I wish all these boys the best of luck and sincerely hope they all find a place call home and take pride in! I’m so saddened that ASU you let you guys down like this. Shame on you ASU! What goes around comes around 3 times over, you better watch out Love, you have A LOT of bad karma lurking over your shoulder! |
