Wrestling May Be Making a Comeback at Fresno State

The student senate at Fresno State called for the return of wrestling at the University. It’s a move that brought cheers from the program’s former coach.

Coach Deliddo says, “Oh, I’m excited you know. When you’ve got the students and the community, that’s pretty good teeth, you know in the fight. I don’t know how they can turn us down now, we gotta get out and get it going. Get the program going again.”

Nine months ago, Fresno State ended the wrestling program in a move to save money.

The decision sparked protests and angered many in the local wrestling community.

Coach Deliddo says supporters are working on a new proposal to revive Fresno State wrestling. They plan to present it to the Chancellor in May.
