Women's Wrestling at North Idaho College

The North Idaho College Board of Trustees had a discussion at their 12/21/22 meeting regarding bringing women's wrestling to NIC.

A motion was discussed to have the president of the college consider adding women's wrestling for the next school year (2023-2024). This motion asked for school leadership to see if it is a benefit to the college, and if it could be done within the current budget or not. It passed 3-2. Banducci, Waggoner, and McKenzie voted yes. Corkill and Zimmerman voted no.

Why did Corkill and Zimmerman vote no? Corkill said he was a huge supporter of NIC athletics when he was campaigning this past fall.

Why did Corkill want to tie this motion to accreditation warnings? This is just to ask for this issue to be looked into. The college needs to plan ahead and work on the accreditation warnings at the same time to be successful.
