Wrestling team clinches the SoCon Regular Season title with a resounding 34-6 win at Davidson last night. We won 10 of 12 matches. JohnMark Bentley has developed a knack for securing Championships-5th title in the past 7 years!

SoCon Tourney will be held on March 5th in Boone. Tickets are measly $15. Let's support these guys!!!

Do any of the new SBC teams sponsor Wrestling teams. Wrestling is pretty big in Virginia.

Nope, UALR wrestles in the Pac-12 and that is it for SB wrestling besides App.

ODU did but they shut the program down in the spring of 2020 just like we did with men's soccer.

It's moot anyway; Little Rock's hightailing it to the OVC on 1.July.2022. They simply don't speak football lingo and the SBC really isn't sorry to see them go. UTA's also looking for another conference home.
If it happens to the Apps, it happens to me!

Very true but I imagine if Marshall and ODU and JMU had wrestling the Sun Belt would likely keep UALR around for wrestling only and nothing else even as we said goodbye to them in other sports. They in turn would likely tell the SB off but I am sure the SB would make a play for them if it allowed the SB to sponsor wrestling In the case of UALR we could promise lower cost of travel than the PAC-12..

The CUSA-3 have a few sports that the SB does not sponsor and the CUSA does sponsor. I wonder if those schools will stay CUSA or bolt to a non-SB and non-CUSA conference. There is more bad blood between CUSA and the leaving schools than I have ever seen before. I wonder if CUSA would drop sports entirely from their sponsorship just to spite the 3 schools leaving that would benefit from one sport staying in CUSA. It seems CUSA might spite the CUSA-3 even if working with them for one or two sports would be beneficial to the remaining CUSA members.

I think the SB is one school short of sponsoring men's soccer when the CUSA-3 joins. A shame we can't help there.

How much ticket revenue does wrestling generate on average?

I don't think ticket sales are the primary source of income for wrestling. They make a good bit off of the camps they sponsor....or at least that is my understanding.

I assume they make a few thousand for each match they host on ticket sales. I assume they clear some money on conference tournaments as well but that is not every year they host. I bet camps make more money and the subscriptions to the FloSports stream is bringing in a few hundred dollars a year. But I am just guessing on that.

Interesting, a SoCon championship in something in 2022! Here I thought we left the SoCon years ago. Just kidding.

I doubt we ever leave the SoCon completely, and they have some up and coming sports,now that could find us there with others sports if we grow our team number, though that is a long shot obviously.

Many probably already know this, but Avery County High won the 1a NC state wrestling championship. I don't know but I would imagine some of the App Wrestling camps are helping that group. Third Straight 1A state championship.

And hopefully that is in the Sun Belt. My fear is that football sucks the money away from bringing MSOC back, not that football is not the sport making the money so hard to argue that as well.

Depends on what you call a few thousand.
