This may be a lot of nothing at the end of the day but they got a six figure donation in New Orleans and are starting club wrestling with intentions of varsity in five years.

Outside of UALR, I do not believe there are any other D1 programs in the region.

New Orleans as a reminder recently failed to win a vote to add football, women’s soccer and marching band.

Quote: "I am thankful to my friend and proud University of New Orleans alumnus Timmy Couvillion for his generous six-figure gift to fund the club wrestling program for its first four years of competition. His generosity and support will allow us to increase enrollment through a fantastic sport and create a path forward for varsity wrestling at the University of New Orleans five years from now."
