Myself being a softball coach I think it would be a great addition to KSU. Not sure anyone cares but the Club Softball team from KSU ended up 3 at National Club tournament last season. They could become very good with help but help is not insight as KSU declines softball issue every year. Some of the great softball Jr Colleges are right here in Kansas yet no softball at KSU.
Now back to wrestling- I think the question was great towns and following so just because a a couple good years make you a good program I believe they were looking for community support. I know from My experience that Beloit (in my day) had huge crowds and could tell you what was what. Not sure it is that way anymore but in da day they held the dual record I believe.
