UNCG Wrestling was an NCAA Division I wrestling program at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

Athletic Director Kim Record announced on March 14, 2011, her intentions to cut the program, [1] saying that the $308,000 to run the program can be better invested in other programs. [2]

The two former coaches, Jason Loukides [3] and Daren Burns [4] are now running Y.E.S. Wrestling a non-profit wrestling club to provide high level wrestling instruction and competition while also promoting the importance of academic success. [5]
