A significant number of other conference schools have had wrestling teams in the past. Those teams went by the wayside prior to them joining the ACC. The cost of running a wrestling operation is miniscule compared to other major college sports. However, the need to tighten financial belts over the past few years has seen a number of programs dropped. There have been some additions such as golf, softball and lacrosse.

The likelihood of adding any additional wrestling programs in the ACC seems remote at best, at least when it comes to those that had been involved in the past. With the growing popularity of women’s wrestling nationwide there still has not been any moves to add that iteration of the sport among conference schools.
