The North Dakota State wrestling program is head to the Big 12. In an article from the Oklahoma State University student newspaper, The O'Colly, Cowboys head wrestling coach John Smith said the Big 12 will add six teams to the four team conference.
The six teams all come from the Western Wrestling Conference. Along with NDSU, Air Force, Northern Colorado, South Dakota State, Utah Valley and Wyoming will join the conference in time for the 2015-16 season.
Smith said he expected an official statement some time in the next month.
The Bison had two All-American wrestlers, Kurtis Julson and Hayden Zilmer, last season along with winning their second straight WWC title.
