*NOTE* = I hate to do it, but I think I have to add in 3 HAD's.  Lincoln (Illinois) is shutting down the entire school. Hannibal-LaGrange isn't official yet, but there has been a lot of discussion about wrestling being eliminated & unfortunately I think that is going to happen. Then I believe Life Pacific in California is also dropping if they haven't already dropped. 


HAS = 75
HAD = 18 
NEVER = 154 

I could be wrong on some of my NEVER's. Seems no matter how much time, energy and passion I put into my studies of discontinued wrestling programs, someone always provides information to me providing proof that a school indeed did have a wrestling program.  I'm sure that I have some NEVER's on here that should be HAD's, but I wasn't able to find any information. 

Still even if the number is anywhere close to 155, I think that leaves the door wide open to unlock some potential. NAIA wrestling has grown tremendously over the years & I think it's going to continue to grow. I think a lot of these NEVER's & even some of these HAD's will he HAS's within the next 10 to 15 years.
