You can't make an ESPN cover a story like that. The reality is that there was no blown PR, because the people that covered it were the only ones that cared to.

It could have been a great promotional vehicle. The university should can their PR firm. If you google the story it was only picked up by Iowa papers and one paper in Wyoming it appears.

Then the sport is well represented and marketed in that small market too. Unless I missed it in the story did they wrestle at the Salt Palace in SL City or in Ogden or Provo? We're probably not in that much disagreement but there were even better marketing opps in Utah probably and certainly better opps for the "sport" of wrestling.
