Yeah, we do. More of a following and stuff in the early 2000's, lost funding for it and restarted it in 2013 (my freshman year)

We have a team... I actually wrestled on it in 2013-14. All the sec does. It's just not division 1. It's a d2 program that competes in nwca I believe
They're club teams with no scholarships.
Auburn actually was developing a good program before Title IX took it away. In our last year as a scholarship program 1980-81 Auburn won the SEC, attracted 7000 fans to a win over #1 Oklahoma in a dual meet, and became the first SEC team ever ranked in the top 10. Based on points scored the following year by wrestlers who left the program it's projected Auburn would have finished #2 in the country in 81-82.
Auburn was in line to become the souths wrestling powerhouse, and now there is no college wrestling in the south because of Title IX. Kind of sad we had to give all that up to let girls play field hockey.

Haha. I met the one on the right at Jakes a few months ago. It was the highlight of my week.

Don't know about mizzouri but a kid I know from Alabama beat Tom Ryan's(Ohio State Head Coach)son and is now ranked nationally. Not relevant but pretty cool for a small wrestling state.
college kid? He the guy from Scottsboro that got a full ride to wrestle at Cornell?
