Please. Can you help my son, Jackson, and his Stanford Wrestling teammates and write an email? When ODU dropped their wrestling program I reached out and corresponded with their AD for several emails. I also emailed their president and their local news. I learned a great deal. I learned that ego-driven people can easily, unjustifiably and unjustly destroy the hopes and dreams of lifetime-athletes for no apparent reason. In Stanford’s case, a knee-jerk reaction and very little thought combined with an AD with a history of eliminating programs without justification to create the easily avoidable destruction of 270+ real lives. For example, in under two days funding was guaranteed to fully endow the men’s wrestling program. The athletic administration responded by explaining that no amount of fundraising would change their decision to eliminate all 11 of the athletic programs being discontinued - for financial reasons. As logic is clearly absent, the decision must be the result of some personal financial gain, a personal gain to the AD’s ego, or just plain ignorance. Whatever the case, especially as the wrestling program can fund itself, please don’t allow one man’s tyrannical ego to crush the lifetime goals of our children - our wrestlers.
