It can not be just for a locker room. If it is a "massive" donation it will be for a stand alone wrestling facility that has a new wrestling room, lockers and other facilities. We do not need just a locker room no matter how good it is.
We will definitely have the best wrestling facilities in the SEC .
I'm guessing with the current unknowns when looking at the future of OSU athletics any thoughts of a women's wrestling team are on hold for a while.
Didn't Mizzu upgrade their's just a few years back, pretty sure they are "the best."
Yeah but they are in the Big 12 now so they lose that title.
Temporarily, but not for too long! Hopefully we will be in time to get the Blades sisters in the room.
I don't know. It took Mizzou a decade to get back and no one really gave a crap they left. Everyone is pissed at OU. Wrestling is a weird sport so who knows but I would be pretty surprised if they let them stay just for wrestling.
I hope they do let OU stay. None of the incoming teams have a wrestling team. Not good
I mean it’s not different than where we are at right now. Nothing improved but it’s not worse off.
I’m assuming you guys mean “let OU stay in the Big 12 tournament once they leave for the SEC in 2025”. Or whenever we leave.
Because we’re still in the Big 12 currently.

Nope, so not much change for wrestling. In theory, add missouri and lose ou when they move. keep other affiliate wrestling members.

Its been almost 3 weeks since this "Big News," don't you think there'd be some actual news about this "Big News" by now?
Hate to say it but a new locker room is not going to get us competitive with PSU,OSU,or Iowa.Save that money and put it towards a new facility.That would be like putting lipstick on a pig.
I would think they could move this new locker room to a new facility if and when it is built? The wrestling program should have pushed for the new facility earlier.
Looks more like OSU athletics got a big donation and a new wrestling locker room is a part of it.
but ... but ... "According to Seth Duckworth OSU wrestling is getting a massive donation" ;_;
I'm still confused as I'd consider the $35M donation for baseball as big or huge, maybe not quite massive. But $7M, split across a few sports, is gonna give them a better locker room than baseball at OSU much less best nonfootball in the country. I've seen baseball so call me skeptical.
I’m with you. I’m happy that improvements are happening. We may have been a little oversold when the story broke.
A $4-5 million full remodel of the locker room with adding team room and other amenities is a pretty legitimate investment into a non-revenue sport. Outside of a full dedicated facility this is pretty significant.
They are still actively pursuing donors for the wrestling facility.

I knew of a smaller contribution, but $1 million for a locker room is pretty amazing.

Great news. Thank you to the donor.
