NCAA tourney to start the season

[alex1fly]

I'm sure everyone will hate this idea and it will also never happen, but as a fan I would love to see a league-wide tournament at the beginning of the season. Either individual or duals. Cool matchups, set the stage for where everybody is at, start the season with a highly anticipated event. Kind of like a pre-test and a post-test... where did you start the season and how much did you grow during the season?

 

Anyways, just bored and excited for college folkstyle. But not ready for the cold weather that comes with it. Ah well. Makes ya tough.

I like it.  Daytona 500 Wrestling Tournament.

Why would I hate more wrestling? I love the idea. It is a shame that the early season tourneys have faded in prestige.

Carl says no.

Tommie is betting against it.

Love the idea. But add a strong incentive to get all the top dogs to compete in it. Seeding implications?

Cliff Keen is a great start for many to kick off the year, can't wait

Of course, that's why the all star event results are excluded from seeding.  Most are still shaking off a little rust from the 7 month vacation.

It would be pretty fascinating if rankings were established at an early season tourney rather than the previous season’s NCAA results.
