NCAA wrestling championships

[The Maroon Pug]

Sitting here watching the championship matches and it just made me wonder why the SEC (not including Mizzou) does not have wrestling teams. I bet one reason is Mississippi high schools dont have programs, but anyone know or have an idea why we dont other than that?

Title IX

After posting I starting researching and found the Title IX stuff. Makes sense. I wrestled in high school and would really like MSU to have a wrestling team, but I doubt it would ever happen.

Someone told me MS is the only state in the country that doesn't have HS wrestling. Not sure if true.

I believe it is. I wrestled against teams from GA, TN, LA, FL, AL, etc etc. But no one from Mississippi.

I really think Mississippi needs to step it up and start wrestling programs in the state. You wouldnt believe how much it helps Offensive and Defensive lineman with footwork, agility and aggressiveness.

Mississippi Public Schools don't have the budget to buy all the ladders, tables, and chairs that they would need.**

And those mask things. Think about the cost of those things. ............................................................

WHAT??!!

GET THE TABLE!

And they have to be breakable so there'd have to be quite an inventory. Expensive. I suppose they could do like college baseball did and go with aluminum bats, but getting hit with a real table or ladder would probably be fatal.

With all the money Vince McMahon has made selling his pay per views in Mississippi you'd think he could show some gratitude and help us out on this.
