Re: Lehigh v. Clarion Terp and fan are making key points. Right or wrong - long term intercollegiate success in wrestling requires financial support - both from alumni and athletic departments. Terp mentioned an important term - ENDOWMENT. Even the Hawkeyes - the most fan-supported program in the country - have at least seven of their scholarships endowed.
Stanford hired Bob Bowlsby primarily because he's a great fund raiser.It would be my guess that, behind the scenes, he's working very hard to get wrestling scholarships fully endowed there. |
