  The Trib: MU wrestling program will go on despite move

  Dixie wrestling has long since gone bust — an extinction that suddenly affects Missouri as it forays into the SEC.

  Missouri’s wrestling program will be an interloper down south. The SEC has not sponsored the sport in more than two decades. The Citadel in South Carolina fields the only remaining Division I wrestling team in the Deep South.

  But Smith sees the move as a positive. Not only does Missouri’s administration remain committed to finding the program a new conference affiliation, he sees fan support growing.

  “We’re bringing wrestling back” to the South, he said.

  Smith, who already runs an annual wrestling camp in Georgia, said, “fans and coaches down there are excited that they have a wrestling program with our success to represent the Southeast.”

  Where Missouri will compete next season remains uncertain, although the impact of leaving the Big 12 is overstated. Only the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big Ten and the Big 12 follow the traditional conference model. Most wrestling leagues are regional collections of schools. Four of the Pac-12’s seven members, for instance, belong to other conferences.

  Missouri could conceivably continue to compete in a five-team league with their former conference rivals and future Big 12 member West Virginia. Another scenario, proposed on the NCAA’s official website, includes MU, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Iowa State joining the Western Wrestling Conference. The seven-team league includes Wyoming, Northern Iowa, North Dakota State, South Dakota State, Air Force Academy, Northern Colorado and Utah Valley.
