Wonder if USC, UCLA, Washington and Oregon will add wrestling programs.

Because they all want to add another non-revenue sport to fly back and forth across the country? :)

It would be great for the sport and a great opportunity to do it. I don't think it happens because of the cost, both for the wrestling program and most likely whatever female sport that needs to be added.

My concern is now that there are big tens schools with no wrestling, there may be some existing schools that now feel less pressure to keep wrestling and we actually see programs cut rather than added.
