Shame Phil Knight couldn't donate more money to keep the wrestling program. Wrestling rooms don't need marble floors.

I know the university added baseball and competitive cheer (which isn't even a NCAA sanctioned sport) but funding was the issue.

Probably don't want to have a sport that Oregon State has been better than them at...

Nike must not make singlets and wrestling shoes.

That do. Not as a big of a competitor as the other companies though

True but Oregon never gave their program a lot of money

While wresting is somewhat important in the Midwest, it is almost non-existent on the west coast. The real story here is that OSU has chosen to keep their program at a high level.

Why doesn't NDSU offer lacrosse, rugby or men's soccer? Just because YOU have a hard on for wrestling * doesn't mean everyone in the country should.

Not even close to being accurate.

California has great high school wrestling. At the Cadet Junior Nationals in Fargo California wrestlers came in 4th place of all states in Greco-Roman and 11th in Freestyle. Arizona came in 6th in GR and 10th in Freestyle. Oregon can in 10th in GR.

Just because there are not a lot of colleges that offer wrestling doesn't mean it is non-existent as you claim. Boise State, CSU-Bakersfield, Oregon State, Cal Poly, Stanford, and Arizona State offer wrestling at D1 out west.

Easily one of the best states in the country. Plus their tournament has one class so if you win that tournament, you're a badass.

Is Acrobatics and Tumbling a big deal? But you're partially right. It's the university's decision not to extend the funding to keep their wrestling program. I know it wasn't a title IX issue because when I was at the NCAA Wrestling tournament the year they dropped their program they had a Save Oregon Wrestling fundraising table. I can't remember the exact number but I think it was around $100,000.

But ultimately this is just my opinion and you can have your opinion. I don't like the University of Oregon athletic program and I will point out what I think is hypocrisy by having a football facility with eleventy billion TVs. Sorry if that bothers you. Obviously you disagree and I have no problem with that.
