Having grown up the the Seattle area, I was around when Washington had a Div I program, and it was a good one. When I was in high school the were a top 8 team at nationals every year with a high of 4th in 1972. Lots of smaller sports started to get cut at programs in the 70's and continued on over the decades. I don't see to many programs of any sport that were cut being reinstated at any Div I college. Notice I said "reinstated" as opposed to being "added" to a college that never had the sport in the past. I am curious if anyone has information on ANY sports programs being reinstated after being cut in D1? I know that University of Arkansas at Little Rock added a new program in D1 a few years ago but does anyone know of any other new programs in D1 for boy's wrestling, or any re-instated?
The costs at colleges have gone through the roof over the past couple of decades so they don't have a lot of money to throw at sports. Any parents out there that paid for their kids to got to college, or any students that took out loans for college, know exactly what I mean.
