Title IX just celebrated its 30th birthday and their has been alot of print about this subject. Although great for womens sports, sure has been rough on the sport of wrestling. USA Today reports that of the 400 programs dropped because of title IX,170 were wrestling programs. I sure do hate that we lost SEC wrestling. Tennessee and Carson Newman are about all thats still around. Remember when we had Alabama, Auburn,Florida,Georgia,Georgia Tech,Tennessee,UT Martin,Florida Tech,Florida International,MTSU,LSU,Southern Tech,Kentucky and Miami Dade North and South.

What about all the great coaches that were in these programs. Gray Simmons,Swede Umbach,Lowell Lange,Tom Milkovich,Gary Snider,Fletcher Carr to name a few.

Does anyone remember when Auburn hosted the NCAA tournament? Sure wish we had these programs back for alot of obvious reasons.

Just wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts on title IX.

Please E-mail the Office of Civil Rights as they are reviewing Title IX . The USA Wrestling site gives addresses and email addresses for people to write . Their request states that those in favor of the current interpetation has alot more correspondance in to that office than our side at this time , so we need to get shaking.

      11 million dollar addition to HVA

      As I said somewhere earlier in the thread, the original plans had no outdoor athletic facilities being part of the campus.  The original plan was for HVA to use facilities at nearby schools.  Very late in the process they came up with a plan and found budget to have minimal facilities and crammed them in to space that never was intended for athletic facilities.

      Agreed, the way the field is turned you get the evening sun blasting right into the press box making filming a nightmare there, plus its so low.  The field is land locked and parking is a nightmare too. Seems like Knox County could have done a lot better there with the design and the quality.

      I think this upcoming team may be pretty good, they will definately be better up front and if they can replace Dozier, Heyward and Rembert, they can be real good. They have the same strange schedule, but this time with 5 straight home games. The road games at Jeff County, Powell will be tough to open up with and the back side at Bearden is the tough game there.  One question I had if anyone knows: There has been some talk of an indoor practice facility in the past, with the new track area now more of a track area, that kind of leaves a need for a football practice area. Just sayin....

      I find it hard to believe that 70% of a schools enrollment is zoned for another school district

      I was told that the indoor facility is happening regardless of the vote on the taxes but it would be a much bigger project with more funds if they vote goes through
