Dr. Hanna,
We
the parents of the Bloomsburg Wrestling Team have been following the
developments involving this year's wrestling season. We have seen all the major
conferences, universities and colleges commit to having a wrestling season this year
including our own MAC conference. We also see that less than 25 miles
away at Bucknell they have committed to wrestling a modified schedule
and even the state's largest university at Penn State has continued to move
forward safely with this year's wrestling season.
We
understand the concerns and safety that Bloomsburg University has with the
spread of COVID-19. Most colleges and universities have put plans in place to
keep all the athletes and coaches safe. The athletic departments can
test, they can isolate and they can follow all the NCAA protocols, these plans and protocols have
proven to work as most schools have continued to compete, throughout the fall and
winter at their own wrestling clubs and regional training
centers.
We
the parents ask that the BU administration consider starting this year's
wrestling season following all of the NCAA D1 guidelines and allow these athletes to make
the choice to wrestle or not this season.
Thank
You
BU
Wrestling Parents
Go
Huskies and let them wrestle!
PLEASE let them wrestle. These kids have worked their whole lives for this season and they deserve a chance to compete just like everyone else.
