    I know for the first couple of years of the transition, the wrestling team would have struggled with the National Championship teams we had during my time. Of course it helped that we had a few guys (Saxlund, Fuller and Severson) that were DI All-American material.

    My guess we will see a price increase in ticket sales and be asked to donate more. Only 4,000 people would need to donate an extra $100.00.

    There should be something. Low end of TM fees for football could be raised. Only $25 a seat required there is room there as well.

    Add 5.00 to each FB ticket would raise $540,000.00. Tickets are pretty cheap right now.

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    Especially when most other people pay way more than that, even for average seats
