Olympics' effect on college wrestling?

My take is that the focus on the Olympics is destroying collegiate wrestling.  One event, every four years, with six weight classes, that the IOC would be happy to kill in favor of ballroom dancing.  For this our best wrestlers try to squeeze themselves into weight classes where they don't fit, take years off without regard to the effect on their college teams, wrestle an inferior style of wrestling where there are virtually no pins.  IMO it will be a good day when the IOC removes wrestling from the Olympics.

Just my opinion.

 

In what world do any of our ncaa coaches give a shit about the Olympics? Brands wrestled Spencer Lee on a questionable knee in an Olympic year. Cael has the best freestyle room in the country and they are barely even going to international tournaments-they sure do a great job preparing the ncaa wrestlers though.

 

And now apparently teams are investing 500K for NIL athletes to score like 15 team points…
