Just watched the interview. Love Manning. Really liked what he said about the National Dual Meet Championship. We definitely need it and need to prioritize it. I don’t necessarily agree with it taking place post individual championships but would love to see the tournament make some more noise

Sounds like all the teams will be there but psu

The "Home Grown" shirts are all over the place at local high school events, and they're usually on teams who haven't reached the point where they could be competitive in the recruiting game. But once they do attract some transfers, they forget. The ready forgetfulness suggests the shirts were just expressions of impotent envy.

I'll cop to these feelings and the forgetfulness. We didn't have shirts, but there were nasty forum avtivity and derisive conversations with the other have-nots. But, one year we got a transfer, and he placed at Escape the Rock. I hadn't recruited the kid; he came for family reasons. The next year I got a few of my club kids. I didn't actively recruit them, but I let them know the door was always open. So, I justified it with the "if you build it" cliche. Slippery slope and all ... My final year had 9 transfers in the starting line up.

I forgot what all the fuss was about.

there's definitely a great difference between the composition of Nebraska and other 'top teams'.

them, cornell, maybe tech and ncst. the rest is a circus sideshow.

Is this true?  If so Cael and co need to bite the bullet and do what’s best for the sport not just their guys. And I get that they are paid to do what’s best for their guys.  Come on, every other team?  It’s a very bad look. If it’s not true and there are multiple teams not competing it makes it a little easier to stomach.  But I still think the NCAA desperately needs a dual tournament. We do it perfectly in NJ. Dual tourney then individual tourney.

It sounds like whoever is has qualified  is taking their bid besides cael saying he wasn't interested
