Arizona State is among 11 schools supporting the addition of women's wrestling as a NCAA emerging sport.
USA Wrestling, National Wrestling Coaches Association, National Wrestling Hall of Fame, U.S. Olympic Committee, Wrestle Like A Girl and a special collegiate Women's Wrestling Committee have combined to push the emerging sports campaign.
ASU is not committed to adding the sport if the bid passes through committee stage to gain emerging sport status but already has done so with women's triathlon, which won a national championship in 2016 and will host USA Triathlon Collegiate Nationals on Nov. 5.
