From Glory Days to Curtains Down: The Wrestlers' Farewell
Fresno State wrestling had a decent run. They weren't winning national championships every year, but they put up a good fight and had a loyal following. Then, in 2020, BAM! The athletic department decided to cut the program, along with a couple of others, citing the need to save some cash. The wrestling faithful were left feeling about as deflated as a punctured pool float.

But Fresno State wrestling fans aren't known for going down without a fight. These folks channel their inner Rocky Balboa, and let me tell you, they weren't afraid to throw some punches (metaphorically speaking, of course). There were petitions, rallies, and enough "We Want Wrestling!" chants to make a rock concert jealous.

So, what's the verdict? Is Fresno State wrestling coming back?
The short answer? We don't know yet. There are still hurdles to jump through, like Title IX compliance and figuring out the budget. But hey, at least there's a fighting chance!
Reminder: Short breaks can improve focus.
In the meantime, Fresno State wrestling fans are:
- Wearing their singlets with pride (because a true fan never throws away fight gear)
