UNI, then, may have a particular problem in getting a fan base behind the sport, simply because Iowa fans, and to a lesser degree, Iowa State fans, seem to loathe everything about UNI for some odd reason.
UNI fans are loyal and have a good base of support, but we may ned more than that. You'd think that I was the worst person in the world in Iowa because I love and support UNI.
I just don't see these people rallying to the cause.

ban, giving UNI fans crap for the team they root for is one thing, but no one wants to see UNI drop its team. Especially when you remember that UNI traditionally has a lot of Iowa kids on their roster, kids that ISU and Iowa fans have cheered for in high school.

We'll see. Trust me, Iowans loathe UNI, aside from us loyal UNI fans.

I'm an Iowan, I don't loathe UNI. All my ISU friends who are wrestling fans, they don't loathe UNI. Anyone who is a wrestling fan does not want UNI to drop their team. And I am willing to bet most of them would even put money up for it. Like it's been said, it's a hell of a lot easier to get people to go to UNI meets and support the team when there actually is one, than to ask for money to support it once a decision has been made to kill it.

Fair enough. You did note that I said Iowa fans, and to a lesser degree ISU fans, right? It is mainly Iowa fans, for some mysterious reason who have UNI on their lists of most hated teams.

I think you're wrong about what people think about UNI. Among my circle of friends, we'd rather lose something to UNI than to Iowa State. UNI is not thought of on the same level of Iowa and ISU most of the time, but we don't dislike you guys particularly.

You should have seen the heat that I was taking around tournament time this past year from Iowans for being a UNI fan.
Wow!!

Its just not true. Iowans don't loathe UNI, at least not in my experience, and particularly not UNI wrestling. I'm sorry that you've met some jerks out there.
There may be some interstate rivalry, etc, but by and large, the feelings between Iowa and UNI, or ISU and UNI are much more positive than the feelings between Cyclones and Hawkeyes, which sometimes get a little strained.

Most of my wrestling coaches (and almost all of my teachers!) were UNI grads when I was growing up in CR, and I've heard UNI wrestling stories since I was a kid. Many more guys from my high school wrestled for UNI than wrestled for Iowa or ISU as well.
I have noticed some criticism of Penrith (an Iowa grad) however.
