What's this?

This makes sense ...

but clearly there can't be a lot of money being directed towards wrestling, can it? I don't know anything about their facilities but clearly they are not bringing in guys that can make them remotely competitive against the rest of the conference. If I recall, the conference needs 6 teams to pick up NCAA bids. Duke wrestling just seems like a sport that could be easily disposable, especially with how Covid has affected finances at universities.

Yep. They're running out of Finesilvers. ** -- VTDante 01/05/2021 4:00PM

Are there any still in high school? ** -- UpperQuad 01/05/2021 4:33PM

This makes sense ... -- KCDale 01/05/2021 05:57AM

Same thing applies to Iveys. No athletic schollies. -- Hokie Flyer 01/05/2021 08:36AM

The Ivies and similar schools give free tuition to students whose parents -- UpperQuad 01/05/2021 1:57PM

VT can offer need-based aid in addition to the 9.9 athletic schollies too. -- Hokie Flyer 01/05/2021 4:29PM

I wonder how much aid the Finesilvers were getting with four at Duke. -- nvpbrown 01/06/2021 12:38AM

Probably full rides... -- HokieJack 01/06/2021 10:07PM

Correct, Princeton seems to do well also. ** -- KCDale 01/05/2021 08:39AM

They likely give more need-based aid than academic scholarships ** -- Pylons 01/05/2021 02:29AM

Does/Can VT do the same?? ** -- wasris 01/05/2021 05:16AM

Yes and no -- Pylons 01/05/2021 10:06AM

Glad to see a shout-out for Kolton Clark... -- HokieLifer2 01/04/2021 6:21PM

Last year 6-6. He had (5F, 1MD). Home run indeed!!! ** -- wasris 01/04/2021 6:47PM

I'm an old-timer, but we could have another Steve Ratley ** -- HokieLifer2 01/05/2021 10:05AM
