As most of you are probably know, the University of Oregon has announced that they will be dropping their wrestling program after the 2007-2008 season and replacing it with baseball and competitive cheerleading.<\/p>\n

This is bad news not just for Oregon, but for wrestling in general, as athletic directors seem to be on a cutting spree these days and who knows which program will be on the chopping block next. Furthermore, if wrestling at Oregon is dissolved, it puts the whole Pac-10 conference at risk, based on having too few PAC 10 schools sponsoring wrestling.<\/p>\n

If you have a minute this afternoon to visit the new website we just created — http:\/\/www.saveoregonwrestling.com<\/a> — and sign the petition that would be great. If you have 10 minutes, please review the speaking points under ‘important facts’ on the website and write a letter to the administration demanding that wrestling be reinstated.<\/p>\n

Please pass this along to any other members of the wrestling community that would like to get involved, or even non-wrestlers who would take the time to sign the petition. If you live in Oregon and are interested in participating in rallies and other meetings, email Kevin Roberts at keviroberts@hotmail.com, as he is the point person on the efforts to save the Oregon Program and will have the most up-to-date information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
