"Adding Wrestling to Oregon's Athletic Department"

[ftwon2002]

As an educator, I have studied these issues for many years. In order to add back the great sport of Collegiate Wrestling to the U of Oregon Athletic Department we will need to raise enough money to endow both wrestling and a women's sport. Here is my proposal:

Endow Men's Wrestling, Women's Freestyle Wrestling and Women's Judo.

Coaching staff would be: unified Head Wrestling Coach, Assistant Wrestling Coach with freestyle focus and Assistant Coach with Judo focus.

This proposal would be hard to say no to. We could encourage women freestyle wrestlers and women Judo competitors to write and e-mail U of O president an A.D. with their interest and encouragement to the U of O. for adding 2 women's sports while adding back one man's sport. Now how can anyone not give serious consideration to this equality effort.

Women's freestyle and Judo are both popular international sports with Women's freestyle the latest addition to Olympic Competition.

All three teams use the same practice facility and share a common
organizational framework like mens and womens track do.

What do you folks think? I have watched Women's freestyle competition at the national level in Cedar Falls two years ago and also have worked with the training of one National Women's Champion. I have also observed college level Judo competition and it also can be very popular.

These are legitimate women's sports, far more legitimate than "Spirit Cheer".

This is a good idea.

There is probably no future for "adding" any men's sport without an accompanying women's sport. The Judo aspect is a new one for me, but if it will work I'm all for it.

Yes, unfortunately, the sport will have to be endowed at some level--but perhaps we can compromise with the university and endow the scholarships while the athletic department agrees to pick up salaries, travel, etc.

The four biggest expenses for wrestling/judo will be grants-in-aid, salaries, travel, and one that isn't such a big deal for other sports: insurance.

Football, gymnastics, and wrestling are the three most expensive sports to insure on the intercollegiate level.

Broken down by categories, perhaps we can seek big donors to endow an aspect of the program. Let a donor endow a particular scholarship and then name that scholarship for him. Perhaps an airline company like Horizon or Alaska, one with Northwest roots, could be persuaded to endow the travel budget--perhaps in some cases with an in-kind pledge.

Does Phil Knight really hate wrestling? Maybe not if you approach him with a limited request: endow the equipment budget and we'll ask other donors to do the rest. In each case, sell naming rights to the endowment you seek. In that way, the donor is assured of being "thanked" every year into perpetuity for his generosity. It's another way--perhaps much less expensive than donating a building to the university--that a booster can live beyond the grave.
