Boise State to drop wrestling to pursue baseball

Boise State is dropping one program within the school in hopes that the Broncos will have enough funds to replace with another varsity sport.

The wrestling program -- which competed in the Pac-12 — is being dropped from Boise State for the possibility that the Broncos will establish a varsity baseball program.

"This was not an easy decision, but one that needed to be made as we consider the long-term vision for Bronco athletics," director of athletics Curt Apsey said in a released statement. "We will continue to honor the scholarships we provide our student-athletes, and will do all we can to help those who want to continue their collegiate wrestling careers elsewhere.
