    What Could a November National Duals Look Like?

    For years, I have been beating the drum that DI wrestling needs to have some sort of a National Duals-type event. That happened this year with the mid-major schools participating in the NWCA/National Duals in Cedar Falls, Iowa. An important distinction to make is that the National Duals haven’t “returned” it’s DI wrestling that has returned to the event. The other levels of wrestling and women’s wrestling have constantly been included in the National Duals. 

    I would like it to have some sort of an official title given out in conjunction with the event - in order to make it attractive for coaches. There has to be some sort of a stake involved for many coaches to change the training cycle and schedule. Personally, I wouldn’t mind the NCAA team title being determined in a team dual format - but we’re not ready for that discussion! Money is also a good incentive for most.

    My idea is to use the top 33 teams from the previous NCAA tournament (have a play in match - they are always fun) wrestled in 4 different locations (1 in the east, 2 in the Midwest, and 1 in the west) of 8 teams. The top 2 teams from each location compete in the 'Final's' tournament (could be same location or different location every year) for 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th.
