parkwayred,
You are correct that is expensive but I also read that more than 90% of Baker's students receive financial assistance in the form of scholarships and grants. I don't know exactly what an incoming wrestling recruit could expect but with other financial grants and scholarships it is definitely worth considering. On the same website below where you found the costs that you listed there is a link that shows what they describe as a typical financial package:
