CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. -- The Mid-South Conference athletics directors unanimously voted to add men's wrestling as a conference sport on Wednesday at the annual summer meeting at Campbellsville University. Men's wrestling becomes the 18th sport sponsored by the Mid-South Conference and will begin competition in the 2009-10 season. Campbellsville, Cumberland University, University of the Cumberlands, Lindsey Wilson College and West Virginia University Institute of Technology will make up the five-team conference. "We're incredibly excited about the addition of wrestling and what the sport and its student-athletes will bring to our conference," Mid-South Conference Commissioner Mike Pollio said. "The Mid-South Conference continues to be one of the premiere conferences in the NAIA and we expect that wrestling will only strengthen that commitment to excellence." Full-time MSC members Campbellsville, Cumberlands, Lindsey Wilson and West Virginia Tech are joined by Cumberland -- who prior to joining the MSC in wrestling was a football-only member -- to makeup only the second wrestling conference in the NAIA. The MSC joins the Great Plains Athletic Conference as the only conferences to recognize men's wrestling as a sport at the conference level. The upcoming season will include the MSC Championships hosted by Campbellsville in late February prior to the NAIA National Championships scheduled for March 4-6, 2010 in Oklahoma City, Okla. "We continue to look for ways serve our institutions, teams and most importantly our student-athletes," Pollio said. "The addition of wrestling is another example of the Mid-South Conference serving our student-athletes by embracing their accomplishments both in competition and in the classroom. "Wrestling is an ideal fit with the other 17 sports in the Mid-South Conference and we welcome its coaches and student-athletes with open arms."
