to a lesser degree, basketball. They're the sports that will keep us in a big four conference or help us stay in the upper tier of college sports. We were in good shape in the late 90's and early 00's, but Whit's presentation made it obvious we're not there any more. I'm expecting fewer non-revenue sports, and the ones that survive will need to generate more of their own funding. I've advocated for years charging for wrestling tickets and creating events to draw in bigger crowds. This means things like tri- and quad-meets that make a trip to Blacksburg easier to justify. It could also mean a Christiansburg dual paired with a VT dual or a wrestling/basketball combination. Imagine a cold, dreary January weekend, but in Cassell a UNC/Stanford/VT tri-meet with duals at noon, 2 pm and 4 pm. I'd pay $20 for a ticket and make the drive to see that. I also think the wrestlers would like that format better - less weigh-ins during the season and bigger crowds for whom to perform.
