Like Jamie Pollard is going to call Bobby Douglas...or Douglas is going to return his call. Yeah, like that's going to happen...
Iowa State Wrestling
- Thread starter CYwrestle
- Start date
I don't think this guy is far off. Not sure if you casual fans realize that there are some good size donors that are not happy with the program and are showing it until something is done. I know one of the donors that donates 5 grand every year. This year he dropped that to 2500. If nothing is done this year he is dropping that 2500 to 100.
I grew up wrestling and watching Iowa wrestling but no longer an Iowa fan after my years going to school at State. Wrestling can be extremely entertaining and I just happened to catch the match vs UNI last night. I found myself entertained and couldn't sit still during a couple matches but in general ISU isn't good. It was great when Sanderson was here but now we wrestle a very lazy style and just don't seem to have much talent. Pretty sad.
I would love to watch more but until the product improves its hard to have any interest. I'd like to be able to watch Iowa to just enjoy great wrestling, but the idea of rooting for Iowa makes me ill.

Not sure what this post has to do with anything anyone else has said. If that donor wants to quit, more power to him. There will still be fans who choose to continue supporting one way or another. Is there something wrong with that?
Talk about an over reaction. The original post didn't call for firing the coaches. He was pointing out discussion points around the team. ISU22CY some how took as directed at him.
The issue is there are enough diehards that will support regardless in hopes of things getting better and that's just enough for JP not to do anything. Wish he cared about wrestling as much as he does cross country and track.

There were also donors that upped this year too... I understand what you were truly getting at. There are many people including myself, judoka, buf etc that are far from being HAPPY about the program's state.
He was directing it at myself and others.

It's not quiting it's called not being happy with how things being run. He's still buying tickets and donating.
