To: David B Frohnmayer, President of University of Oregon; Pat Kilkenny, Athletic Director; and Dan Rodriquez, Alumni Director
We, the undersigned, believe that the wrestling program at the University of Oregon should be reinstated.
The wrestling team well represents the University, as its tradition includes 2 NCAA Champions, 31 NCAA All Americans, 6 Olympic team members, and one distinguished member of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.
This decision not only hurts the University but puts the Pac-10 Athletic Conference at risk of being dissolved, based on having too few PAC 10 schools sponsoring wrestling.
This is not a Title IX issue, the University is in compliance and the OCR (office of Civil Rights) and NCAA is against dropping men's sports to add womens programs. It is not a financial decision because the Oregon athletic department operates in the Black.
Please consider the reinstatement of the University of Oregon wrestling team for the good of the community, as well as intercollegiate athletics in general. Follow the link below to sign the petition.
