Keep California Baptist University Wrestling

This is bigger than one program. The future of wrestling is in our hands
On January 2, 2026, California Baptist University announced the difficult decision to discontinue three sports programs following the conclusion of this season: men’s golf, men’s swim and dive, and men’s wrestling. This decision impacts student-athletes, families, alumni, and the national wrestling community that has benefited from CBU Wrestling’s tradition of academic excellence, leadership development, and service. The loss of CBU Wrestling would eliminate a vital Division I wrestling opportunity in Southern California, creating a significant gap for student-athletes across the state who seek to compete at the highest level while remaining close to home.
In response, we have formed this organization to work urgently and collaboratively to reinstate CBU Wrestling and to help establish a sustainable model for collegiate programs facing similar challenges. Our purpose is to secure the influence, financial resources, and institutional alignment necessary to preserve and sustain California Baptist University Wrestling and its mission of developing young men of character, faith, and leadership.
We are asking our community to stand with us by raising awareness, providing financial support, and demonstrating to university leadership that a better solution exists. … more at … https://keepcbuwrestling.com/
