Center for Wrestling Excellence

The new center for wrestling excellence is a huge step forward for our program. This facility will have a dramatic positive impact on our recruiting, as well as the overall representation of our program. Our athletes work as hard as any in the country, and now they will have a state-of-the art facility that is among the best in the EIWA conference. When team members, recruits, alumni and friends of the program walk into this building they will immediately understand the support that exists around Binghamton Wrestling.

I am so proud of what these student athletes and coaches have done on the mat, in the lecture hall, and in the Binghamton community. I am a 2003 inductee into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. I am a color commentator for ESPN Wrestling and I also served on the prestigious Committee to Preserve Olympic Wrestling (CPOW) that fought to have wrestling reinstated as an Olympic sport. None of these achievements matter to me as much as my devotion to (and the accomplishments of) the wrestling program at Binghamton University. We aim to accelerate the pace of wrestling excellence. Along with our incredible alumni and supporters, I will do absolutely everything in my power to work with all of you so that our wrestling facilities will not only compete with the EIWA but also throughout all of Division I wrestling.
