Feasibility-study members to gather Monday at the Carpenter Center; Blue Hens haven’t had wrestling team since 1991

TDR Editor’s Notes ; Sounds great. More Division One schools should look at and then add wrestling to their athletic program.
***************************************
NEWARK – Twenty-five years after the University of Delaware eliminated its varsity wrestling program, another effort has surfaced to have it reinstated. Unlike previous attempts, this one involves the state government. Delaware Senate Bill 295, an appropriations measure approved by both branches of the General Assembly at the close of the 2016 legislative session and signed by Gov. Markell, including a section calling on UD to conduct a feasibility study on bringing back wrestling. That is expected to be done through a working group of high school coaches and athletic directors, Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association personnel, UD administrators and state government representatives. The first meeting is at 5:30 p.m. Monday at the Carpenter Center. It’s open to the public.
