Like we didn't see this coming? Bastida isn't seeing a whiff of that top Hwt step this year with the current "Hammers" at the top.  I certainly don't want to see "INJURED" wrestlers doing more harm to their bodies, but please don't tell me that the injury exemption isn't getting gamed to the absolute max to put athletes in more advantageous scenarios to find the podium.  Please bring back a 5 yr window of eligibility, regardless of your circumstances.  Now that money incentives are on the table, along with a "toothless" NCAA because of the current state of ongoing litigation, the system just encourages programs mailing in one season to prepare for the next.  Hard to be a loyal fan, and travel to home matches, etc... when you know this is what is going on.  Injuries happen, and maybe it's just me, but seems like we are seeing waaaay too many season ending injuries.

Plus if you repeat 8th grade you can spend all of your time at home playing video games! It has a lot of benefits.
