One hour.
Thatโs all @calbaptist and @DrMicahParker gave its wrestlers to grab their belongings before locking them out.
No transition. No alternatives. No answers.
Now theyโre laying down mats at the park just to keep their dreams alive.
Weโre not backing down.

Thereโs never a bad time to do the right thing. Letโs #KeepCBUWrestling!
What do you think @DrMicahParker & @CBULancers? People make silly decisions at times, but how you respond matters the most. With well over $1M raised & climbing fast, thereโs a better way!
