Big 12 Expansion

[Old Number Nine]

With all the talk I'm seeing elsewhere on expansion; I was wondering if any of the schools mentions wrestle?

Of all the possibilities mentioned, only Boise State has wrestling.

Here are the teams that I've seen mentioned (in no particular order):

Houston
BYU
Boise State
Memphis
Cincinnati
Central Florida
South Florida
UConn
Tulane

Up to 4 will likely be added beginning in 2017.

I believe that of the above mentioned schools only Boise State has wrestling. Houston, BYU are the ones most mentioned and they do not have wrestling. It would be great if the Big 12 added BYU and Boise State.

FYI, Troy Dannen is the AD at Tulane. He's the former AD at the University of Northern Iowa, in addition to a former member of the NCAA Wrestling Championships Committee.

They should make adding wrestling a requirement. Think that would work?

 

[Old Number Nine]

BYU used to have wrestling (Mark Schultz), maybe they'd bring it back.

The Big 12 has three of the All-time great programs in College wrestling. You leave out Iowa State and with their recent recruiting class are on the way to regaining top tier status in the nation. Now, we need to get Oklahoma on track and recent signee Dalton Duffield is a step in the right direction. They also just got the #51 rated recruit in the country in Tanner Litteral, a three X state champ from Tuttle.

Competition wise think about it,Iowa,OSU,Penn St,Minnesota,Illinois,Nebraska and a real league tournament(which I think is better than Nationals).Just sayin.

I would add Missouri to that tournament and it would be one heck of a show.
