I dont believe UNO was caught off guard. Coach Denney told me several years ago that they were fully endowed. If i recall correctly he said they have the funds available to fund their scholarships from that fund. This is a great idea but may not be the "protect all" answer. Trev Alberts and his big ideas and promises to the Regents is the problem with the UNO situation.

Private Schools see wrestling as a profit center as those kids still pay a considerable amount to attend school there. The Athletic Departments at NCAA schools seem to see every dollar in scholarships as an expense despite the fact that most of the scholarshiped kids spend more than they receive and certainly more at that school than they would if they attended somewhere else.

I know i am getting off the point, This is a great idea to have a fund to help bail out programs in Kansas if they get in trouble.
