In 1993, the University of Notre Dame used Title IX as an excuse to eliminate the wrestling program, using that money to fund Womens’ sports. The ND wrestling program had been funded by donations from a former wrestler’s father, after his wrestler son was gunned down in South Bend. They could have taken the money from the Football program instead, which is very well-endowed.
