Sheerstress Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Initially there seemed to be a generic Title 9/Proportionality explanation for Notre Dame dropping the program, although the athletes and coaches initially seemed blindsided by the move: https://archives.nd.edu/observer/1992-04-13_v24_130.pdf (see pages 20, 17, 18) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheerstress Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Not long after, it came out that there were accusations of NCAA violations in previous years: https://archives.nd.edu/observer/1992-05-01_v24_141.pdf (see page 40). There was a more in-depth article in the Chicago Tribune. What I later heard was that the NCAA was planning on conducting an investigation on the alleged violations. The ND administration, fearing that the NCAA might use the opportunity to scrutinize their entire athletic department, most notably the football program, responded by axing the wrestling program. The NCAA subsequently lost interest in the matter, and never came. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all these conferences changing like the Ivy League it is a ripe time to add a program or two to make the conferences even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
