Fresno State is bringing back wrestling. It's only a matter of when.
University President Joseph Castro reinforced that pledge Tuesday during a meeting with The Bee editorial board during which he also stated a new athletic director would be named before the end of the year.
"It's no longer a question of whether (wrestling will return)," Castro said. "That decision was made on my 100th day when I said we were going to do it. ... I expect to make an announcement later this fall."
Castro announced in November 2013 he would consider reinstating the wrestling program, which was axed in 2006 following a string of lean budget years and gender equity issues.
