NCAA Division I Wrestling on ESPN2
Dear Wrestling Fan,
Did you hear the news? For years wrestling fans have been disappointed
in the coverage of the NCAA National Wrestling Championships by major TV
networks. Apparently, the pendulum has finally swung our way. ESPN2
plans expanded and same day coverage of the Championships in Iowa City in
March of 2001.
Here is a link to a story on TheMat.com (www.themat.com) that relates
relevant information to this story. Please visit:

We think we can get even better coverage of the Championships of the
world's oldest and greatest sport if you and your wrestling fans contact
the ESPN network website and thank them for the coverage and ask for more
coverage of the tourney.
You can do this by filling out a simple form at the url:
http://espn.go.com/sitetools/s/contact/espntv.html
Please fill out this form and select ESPN2 as its destination when you
submit it. Thank them for the renewed effort to cover wrestling and
encourage expanded coverage of the semis and quarter finals.
Once you've submitted the form to ESPN2 can I get you to go one step
farther?
Please go to the following url:

Randy Buhr is in charge of the NCAA Wrestling Championships. Fill out
the submission form in a similar way. Thank them for the renewed media
coverage and ask for more.
If you're a wrestling fan you know how important media coverage is for
this meet. Please take the time to send in these two submission forms.
This original message will go out to over two-thousand wrestling fans.
Hopefully, you will pass it on and encourage others to take part in this
quick but effective way in supporting the NCAA Wrestling Championships.
Wrestling is a thriving sport that has been overlooked by the mainstream
media for too long. Here is your chance to act. Fill out the
forms......pass this message along to others....and help change the
perception of wrestling nationwide.
