Zach TanelliNEW YORK -- When I stepped on campus in July as the Columbia wrestling coach, I committed myself and my leadership to Columbia University, the Athletic Department and its wrestling team. The University and Athletic Department conducted a thorough investigation, and we respect their decisions. While I am exceedingly disappointed in light of these circumstances, we, as a program, take full responsibility. It is our immediate mission to deliver the best possible enrichment opportunities for the reconciliation and personal growth of our student-athletes. Not only do we demand that the harming and offensive language end; we want Columbia Wrestling to be a part of the solution toward cultural competency and systemic change.
