WVU is usually one of the later teams to release its upcoming season schedule, but we can piece some of it together as other schools release their respective schedules.

Columbia released its 2023-34 schedule a couple of weeks ago listing a "Battle on the Boardwalk" match against WVU in Atlantic City, NJ on Jan 7th:

Isn't Morgan State a new program coached by Kenny Monday?

Fairmont State has their schedule out. It looks like a dual with WVU is scheduled December 15th.

By the time WVU releases their schedule, we will have pieced it all together from all the programs' schedules.

It's not on their website, can you post the URL?

Nothing suspicious, almost every bigtime program has yet to release their schedule at this point:

WVU, you are doing a great job in putting WVU's schedule together for us fans so we can plan.

The word on the street is there will be a Glenville match once things are sorted out with the basketball schedule.

Posting the schedule for 2023 through 2034 would be very impressive. I'm on a mission to comb the 8&under youth results so I can let everyone know which incoming freshmen to watch for in that 2034 season.

In the words of John Perkins I predict the 2034 squad will be the best WVU team in a long time!

Just imagine how good this team could be by then, the sky is the limit.

Add Oklahoma in Morgantown on Dec 3rd.

Northern Colorado in Greely, CO on December 10th at 4 p.m. (I assume that is Mountain Time and not Eastern Time)

Kent State has two teams scheduled in Morgantown, WV on November 12th at 1 p.m. It looks like a Tri match between WVU, Kent State, and Duke.

Slowly but surely the schedule is coming together. I am interested to see what tournaments they are going to hit and if they decide to do the Midlands again or go back to the Southern Scuffle.

Schedule just released: https://wvusports.com/news/2023/9/28/wr ... edule.aspx

Now that the schedule has been out for a few days, what are the thoughts on it?

I like the schedule and the way it is set up, for the most part. I would like to see them going to another tournament other than the Shorty Hitchcock Open on Nov. 18th. The Navy Classic or the Keystone Classic would be much better options for that weekend. I would also like to see a Tri match with Fairmont State and Glenville State to possibly open up a date to add another ACC team or even another BIG 12 team like South Dakota State. I like the way the schedule is laid out. It starts off semi-competitive in the month of November, really heats up and gets really competitive the months of December, January, and the first week of February, and then it cools back off to keep the team competing while giving everyone a chance to heal up for the BIG 12's and the National Tournament.

For anyone wondering the WVU Quad schedule on 11/12, taken from Duke's schedule:

1pm Cleveland State @ WVU; Kent State vs Duke
3pm Kent State @ WVU; Cleveland State vs Duke
5pm Duke @ WVU; Kent State vs Cleveland State

Only one quad and 5 duals at home. College needs more tris and quads. Driving 1,2,3 or 4 hours to watch 10 matches is not going to pack the house.

I would also like to see more Tri's and Quad's but I don't know how realistic it would be to schedule more than one or maybe two per year. I don't know a thing a about trying to come up with a schedule like this, but I can't imagine there is anything easy about it. I would imagine there are many moving parts and pieces to making these schedules, so as nice as it would be from a fan's standpoint, I am not sure how realistic and feasible it would be.

Wrestling is a sport of required strong will. I find it hard to believe that the Fairmont Dual could not have been merged with another dual. The same could be said about Glenville.

The word on the streets of Glenville was that the scheduling of the dual of WVU vs Glenville was dependent on the basketball schedule.

WE have heard how difficult it is to do things.

Looks like a D II schedule to me. 4 or so Big 12 meets, the rest weaklings. Oh well.

It is difficult and frustrating because Wrestling needs to wait until basketball schedules are finalized before they can finalize their schedule. So it is basically who fit within certain dates. Now if they had a Volleyball/Wrestling only facility (like IU) it would be different. It would be nice to convert the Shell building into that to accommodate both of those sports.
