Big 12 has increased their allocations by almost 50% since 2021.

Would that be the addition of Mizzou to the conference? I would assume the Mac number of allocations decreased to them leaving.

It is certainly a factor. Mizzou presumably added 9 spots this year. In 2021 I believe the number of allocations was 45 for Big 12 nationals.

[Danny Deck]

Big 12 in 2021, 2022, 2023 - 45, 58, 64

MAC  - 35, 22, 23

Wonder how much wrestling Mizzou during the season helped MAC and now Big 12 schools. Looks like even outside of that, the Big 12 is improving.

PAC 12 and others getting only one person at a weight, seems not right.   Maybe at large takes care of any inequities.  But doesn't seem right to me.   They should take top 2 at the least.

Just going through Wrestlestat in regards to PAC-12. There is 1 per weight at 141, 149, 157, 184, & HWT. The weight class that seems strange to not have at least 2 AQ's is 149. The rest of the weights make sense at only have one based on the quality of conference at the weight. 

141 - PAC-12 has 1 guy in top 33 Vasquez ASU at #23

149 - PAC-12 has 3 guys in top 33 Parco ASU #5, Abas Stanford #16, Demas Cal Poly #17

157 - PAC-12 has 1 guy Cardenas Stanford #7

184 - PAC-12 has 2 guys Munoz Oregon St #6, Montalovo ASU #25

HWT - PAC-12 has 2 guys Shultz ASU #6, Tinker Cal Poly #30

Inequities?  Thank God the tournament isn’t about equality or egalitarianism, it’s about merit. The B1G has 13 wrestlers in the top 33 according to intermat, they get 10 AQs; the Pac12 has one.

Yeah, tough road at some of those weights.  149 has one qualifier and has Parco, Abas, and Demas in the bracket.

Sorry, I just saw that Gus posted this above....

I left out that the weight i was referring to is 157. 

[Jason Bryant]

They corrected 149, ACC down to 3, Pac-12 back to 2.

If there are only 8AA spots then why does any conference need more than 8 qualifiers?  

[Offthemat]

They’re greedy for their points. 

[mspart]

If the rankings are any good at all, they could just include the top 32 and fill the bracket.  That way conferences don't get auto bids, the top guys do.  As in the case of 149, pac -12 should send 3.   Maybe the correction takes this into account.   Just seems like a weird way to do it.   Yes, I understand B1G is the best and will have the most qualifiers.   I think doing this by conference is wrong.   Do it by individual ranking, if those are any good at all.

The NCAA article is now showing that the Pac-12 has 2 at 149.....

Belton, Montalvo, Tinker and Demas are all bubble guys that were close to getting allocations. It will depend on how conferences go, but I can see those guys getting at-larges if they place 2nd or 3rd (149) in the conference.

I mean, if you don’t care about keeping a modicum of competitive balance and want the sport to shrink.. sure

2021 is a bad year to use…that was the year they were forced to use historical data due to the truncated season.

True, but the EIWA still got the Ivy’s bids.

Okay, if we go back a couple more years to 2018 it was 45 for Big 12. The Big 12 has been adding more affiliate teams over the years so the allotment keeps changing

Good point.  My argument is only valid that year from a placement standpoint but not qualifying standpoint

Looks like Northwestern should’ve went to the last chance open?

[Idaho]

They don't necessarily have to steal an AQ at the conference tournament to get in - If they finish one place outside of the allocations at conference (i.e. 4th when there are 3) they would still have a good shot at an at-large depending on who got upset at the conferences. Of course the best way to get in is to earn it and steal the spot at conference, but they still have a shot at an at-large if they place outside the allocation number.

DeAugustino actually did.
