Kustra on baseball, wrestling move: ‘This is the final decision’

Boise State President Bob Kustra talked with the Idaho Statesman on Thursday morning to discuss the university’s decision to drop wrestling and pursue adding baseball.

Q: There was a short statement Tuesday from Athletic Director Curt Apsey, but what is your reasoning for the decision?

A: This is a decision that was made for the future that I know is falling very hard on those in the present. We’re going to do everything we can to alleviate those uncertainties it creates for student-athletes, their families and the coaches.

This is a decision that aligns us more effectively with the Mountain West and will allow us to eventually consider adding baseball.
