That all ended in the mid-80s to mid 90s when Lehigh was pretty dreadful. A generation was lost and never recovered. That is certainly not the only reason but it sure was the biggest one IMO.LUEngineer wrote: ↑Tue Apr 19, 2022 9:42 pm Good comments from MH & at one time Lehigh dodo the same by promoting Wrestling as their Big Time sport.
Then they began to promote all sports equal such that the freshman weren’t educated to the unique historic tradition that was a nationally competitive wrestling program.
Don’t you remember when we lined up 2 hours before match time to get into Grave Hall? That was because John Steckbeck prepped us during freshman week.
You can bet that Villanova makes sure their students know about their men’s nationally competitive Basketball program while their football team plays in 1AA including against lowly Patriot League teams
Steck BTW was an amazing character who I got to know well during my undergraduate days. Unfortunately, I think he passed away only a few years after my graduation.
