MTSU is recognized as a club through the Recreation Department at the University.  And several posters are correct in what they have said on this thread so far.  But let me clarify a few things.  Many

MatWiz is correct. UT-Knoxville is in the same league as MTSU.   But so is Liberty, U.S. Naval Academy, Air Force Prep, last year Grand Canyon University and a host of other fully funded programs.

I heard Binns is headed to MTSU and Kennedy is walking on at Pitt.

Ouch...

 

As painfully true as that is, club wrestling is a different lifestyle. Club teams offer a good median for those kids who kind of still want to continue their career, but aren't interested in making a job out of it. In college wrestling, it becomes a job. If you wrestle club, you have more freedom to come and go as you please, but are able to still compete in the sport you love. Maybe those kids that choose MTSU have that mindset. If that's the case, a DII program wouldn't be the best fit for them.

Thats not true. MTSU is a club team because the school does not fund them, because of Title IX. They have scholarship wrestlers and believe me, as a former MT wrestler, between work and school and practices, its exactly like a job. I promise you if you tried to "come and go as you please" the MT coaching staff would ask you to not come back.

It's a club team. It attracts kids who want to wrestle club competition.

This is the same team that beat Cumberland pretty good last season, an NAIA program. Bet if they faced King this year they would've won. I'll say it again, the ONLY reason they're "club" is because they're not funded by the school. Title IX. It's borderline offensive for NCWA wrestlers to hear that c word since their squad could beat a lot of higher up programs.

Is MTSU's wrestling program a "club team"?

 

According to this website, it is.  If it is a club, how can it be borderline offensive for the wrestlers to hear the word "club"?  If it is a club, it is a club.  Don't be so defensive.  You yourself said it is a club team so what gives?  Also, are you saying the information on this website is not true?

It's great that kids want to continue wrestling even if it is at the club level. Make no mistake, there is a major difference between club wrestling and wrestling at one of the NCAA sanctioned schools.

Incorrect...Cumberland beat MTSU quite badly last season (36-9). Keep in mind that Jake Williams, who won the NAIA National Championship last year, was out for this dual and MTSU scored a fall over the backup. And when we were supposed to dual them again later that year they decided to team forfeit to us at the MTSU duals.

 

However, in the 2012-13 season MTSU did beat a Cumberland team that forfeited 3 weights and of the 7 wrestled matches we had 5 starters out (Sandefer, Gallegos, Linton, Johnson, Stewart). And I may be bias, but my guess is that they all would have won their matches.

      If an attorney sees enough merit in the case they will take it and only collect if their client wins. Happens in civil cases all the time.

      Groves got the ball over 20+ times. His son arguably played the best for East in that game. 3rd and long multiple times and he came up big to continue a couple drives. Please shut up for the 3rd year in a row

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
