Those are mind boggling numbers to me.  Lost of professorships could be endowed for that amount or lots and lots and scholarships

The NCWA has been helping to add wrestling to enrollment based schools. They sell the idea of adding a men's and a women's team, and hiring 1 coach for both. Pay the coach less than $75K for both programs and they should have 60 kids by year 3. Snake oil at its best. 

I was referring to club programs, not NCAA programs. 
 

the NWCA has done a lot for this sport, all anyone on this forum does is bitch and moan….. it’s not snake oil at best when they are growing the sport and getting schools to add programs.

Not sure which he meant but he did say NCWA (club) rather than NWCA.

Yeah, but the professorships aren't what bring in the money and allow them to maintain their OG status in the big ten television contracts...

Sadly, yes. At NU, it's been all about the Benjamins for the last several decades.
