I am the President of MTSU Wrestling Club. We are trying with everything in us to change the club program into a varsity program. I personally was told to get more support. We did so. We were told to become more successful. We did so (more tournaments, more competition, consistantly ranked in the top 10). Now we are told to get stronger financially to get off the ground, which is coming very slowly. What everyone has to understand is exactly what everyone knows already. That is, if you aren't football or basketball stay out of the faces of the administration. I refuse to do so, but now my calls aren't being returned and neither are my messages. I would love to start a petition if the state is listening.
Bye the way, in the state of Tennessee......UT-Chatt (Div I), Carson-Newman (Div II), Cumberland University (NAIA) all are varsity. MTSU, Vanderbilt, UT-Knoxville, Tennessee Temple, and Maryville College are all clubs. Memphis State is also in the developement stages of becoming a club.
Guys, there are several options to continue your careers in college. I personally would love to see you all on MTSU's mat! I welcome all questions: mtsuwrestling@hotmail.com
Good luck to everyone this year!
