Spent time during the tourney w many wrestlers dating back to 70s. 
Pretty uniform disgust that the NCAA allowed 5 chances at the tourney.  Not fair to the young guys.  An odd corruption of collegiate wrestling.

But you cannot blame the schools or 5th year wrestlers as they are playing by the rules they don’t control.  NCAA does not control NIL, which seems to have made it worse and amplified the corruption from the NCAAs stupid decision to allow 5 years.  Please make it go away and never again.

It's not fair to the "old" guys who only got 4 chances either. There's no way CS is a better college wrestler than Aaron Brooks or Cael were.

Even less fair to the guys who only got three bites at the apple.  Top seeds that wrestled their last eligible year in 2020.

125: Jack Mueller: 4th seed,14-1, finalist 2019

125: Nick Piccininni: 3rd seed, 26-2

133: Seth Gross: 2nd seed, 27-2, 2017 NCAA champ

133: Chaz Tucker: 3rd seed, 31-0, never AAed

141: Luke Pletcher: 1 seed, 26-1

149: Pat Lugo: 1 seed 21-1

149: Matt Kolodzik: 6th seed, 14-0 (he came out of "Ivy Shirt" mid-year, only to have it blow up)

165: Vincenzo Joseph: 2nd seed, 15-1

174: Mark Hall: 1 seed, 23-1 2017 NCAA Champ

174: Jordan Kutler: 3 seed, 21-1

174: Bryce Steiert: 5th seed 27-3

174: Joe Smith: 12 seed, 12-6

184: Taylor Lujan: 1 seed, 28-2, Never AAed

Yeah, I remember feeling bad for Kollin Moore. He'd have definitely won a title. I'd have been shocked if Chaz Tucker finished higher than 8th if they'd had NCAAs that year, though.
