Certainly, each of the reasons for the dropped program could be addressed. Wisconsin has a wealth of Div. III wrestling programs for Carroll to compete against, even if the Midwest Conference no longer considers wrestling a conference sport. Certainly, with more support and effort from the athletic department, the number of wrestling participants at Carroll could increase. With support and commitment from an athletic department, wrestling can be a viable and thriving sport at any level.
Wrestling is a very popular sport on the high school level in Wisconsin.
Perhaps pressure from the alumni will convince the administration at Carroll College to give the sport another chance. A recent controversy on the Boston College campus points out a disturbing trend in the battle for fairness in education. It seems that when Title IX can be used to advance the feminist agenda, especially in the area of college athletics, it is a great law. However, when the same law is used to protect and defend the rights of male students on campus, suddenly the same people believe the law should be ignored. This two-faced approach to equal opportunity is hypocritical and unfair.
