Okie St wrestling

Why did the school cancel most sporting events, including wrestling but not all including football? I hope it isn't a $ thing. The football team is ranked #2. Please tell me this had nothing to do with it!! If so, shame on them! Although the events were tragic, why not cancel all events?

They didn't cancel wrestling, they postponed it. Both duals were scheduled to take place in Stillwater GIA, so OSU is the host. The football game is in Iowa, ISU is the host, so not their event to cancel/postpone. I'd guess they also aren't/can't change the schedule for the soccer match (OSU v IL) as it's a NCAA event and there's a 2nd game on the 20th.

I didn't realize the FB game was in Ames, Iowa! That makes a huge difference and a lot of sense! My bad!
