Dear Wrestling Supporters,

It is with great regret that I write to inform you that UC Davis Athletic Director Greg Warzecka has announced the discontinuation of wrestling at UC Davis. This came as a shock to our student-athletes, staff, and especially myself.

I was told last fall that no matter what may come to be, football and wrestling were safe at UC Davis. As a program, we have had the second highest fund-raising numbers (behind football) the last three years, (averaging $65,000/year), the highest alumni/donor support, and one of the most profitable per contest gate of any sports. Each of these criteria were suppose to be examined when determining which programs to retain.

The problem is both a monetary issue and a Title IX issue. Since the official announcement, I have had numerous calls from people that are adamant about combatting both ends. Financially, several key UC Davis Wrestling supporters are already inquiring about the dollar amount needed to reinstate the program. On the political front, National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) President Mike Moyer has already stated that the NWCA will not allow this decision to stand. These are both encouraging thoughts, but alone they will not be able to reverse the decision.

I expect there to be quite a backlash from the California wrestling community, as well as the national wrestling community, in the weeks to come. If you would like your voice to be heard, please take the time to mail, phone and e-mail the individuals listed below. Thanks again for your ongoing support.
