ISU postponed building its new wrestling facility.

"Koll thinks the wrestling roster cap will be “ridiculously low.”

This could be problematic for smaller, enrollment-driven schools that bank on larger athletic rosters to help drive revenue.

“My roster next year is 46 kids and I have a room that can hold 30,” said Rider coach John Hangey, who sees areas where his program could benefit from potential changes but also sees where his school, with an undergraduate enrollment of 3,168, could face challenges. “I have 26 lockers. Yet at the same time, I’m told to keep higher rosters because it helps the school and it helps the athletic department as it trickles down."
