Paul, easy big fella. Geek said my bad.
I just met with the wrestling people. ASU wrestling had the distinct advantage of having just done a capital campaign to build a new facility 3 years ago. They knew where their money was, and was able to mobilize quickly. Wrestling as a sport has been aware of their risk longer than swimming and is more prepared as a sport.
My words of wisdom, to everyone who wants college swimming to survive, are "look to your endowments" even a partial endowment would have made it tough to cut us. A history of giving would have been good.
We will get there, but we do need our big hitter. Are you out there?
Simon...beware as he is an evil, evil man...at least we think he's a man, hard to tell with that girly avatar. Speaking of which, given that he spent as muhc as a one year full ride on that bike he may be that donor your looking for!
