I just threw up a new database that has all ~40k matches that have taken place at the NCAA D1 championships. Check it out here. I just noticed the search and filter aren't working. I'm going to have to reach out to try and figure out why. Enjoy!

What if I told you that unless there is bad weather, a lot of workers actually like the carts scattered about because it allows them to be outside for a while and get exercise?

Social, Emotional, & Physical maturity. I drove to college on my 18th birthday. Being pushed back a year before the 6th grade would've done wonders for me in those areas. I would've hated it if I did it after that point.

Why wouldn't they? They have no control over what he does after commits. They have no way to hold him to it.

You mean Stanford?

What are the numbers behind that belief?

That’s more an issue of needing better recruiting than not enough women.

The scholarships is a separate thing. They got rid of scholarship limits in all sports and instead went to a roster limit. Wrestling has a roster limit of 30. Schools can now offer anywhere from 0-30 scholarships now instead of the previous 9.9 scholarships and "unlimited" rosters. The revenue sharing agreement allows schools to provide up to 20.5 million (rising in future years) to their athletes. They can split it up however they want. Most of that will be for Football, Men's/Women's bball. He is saying that Cael opted to have the school give him 30 scholarships instead of providing any of that revenue sharing to his athletes.

3x2 minute periods Best 2 of wins First point scored is tiebreaker Incentivize scoring by the more points you score the more bonus money you make (I don’t know what payouts will be but something like $500 a point scored. So someone the scores 10 points walks away with 5k win or lose.) Must be a new hold to score No correct throws 125/140/155/165/180/195/215/235/+ After a TD occurs go to Greco par terre rules for bottom (no grabbing or impeding the legs). —————— Random thoughts… Score enhancers like each period someone picks a increased value or the first 30 and last 30 scores are doubled Team matches where each matchup only wrestles a single period at a time through the lineup. There can be anywhere from 2 on a team to however many weights there are. For example, with the first three weights- 125 guys wrestle a period then the 135 guys then 145 guys. Then repeat that.

Even if he signed something he can't be held to it. He could still go somewhere else without issues.

Smaller schools are enrollment drive. They need programs to get people to enroll. If they already have a men’s team it makes a lot of sense to add because they already have the facilities there.

Because you aren’t locked in until you show up for classes. You can say you’re attending a new school everyday. Doesn’t matter until you actually do.

Yep

Who is to say it is even a super serious injury? It could be a sprained ankle or a broken hand or pulled hamstring. All of which will be plenty healed in time for worlds. If it is serious enough to come back before World's, then Jax will end up being the replacement.

When he isn't getting paid a ton of money to do it.

Yea. That link is different than the criteria posted. I believe this is the first time I have seen the 4th place, age-eligible, added to the criteria.

I actually combined the first 2 criteria into 1. It list top-3 from the National team and then the 4th best. Since Blaze has no one else ranked higher, 4th will still get him first priority. But yes, 4th is not part of the national team. It’s technically criteria 2.

Now that the U23 trials are over we are able to rank the order of preference for the world team spot based upon this criteria: 1. In order of rank: Top-4, age eligible, athlete from 2025 Senior Men’s Freestyle National Team 2. U23 Trials Champion These are listed in order of selection preference: 57 - Lilledahl, Provo, Ziegler 61 - Forrest, M. Blaze, Bouzakis 65 - M. Blaze, Cornella 70 - Duke, Edmond 74 - Mesenbrink, J. Blaze, Caliendo 79 - Haines, Hamiti, Ruiz, Mantanona 86 - Welsh 92 - Barr, Sinclair, Nelson 97 - Kouekabakila 125 - Herrera Let me know if I messed up any DOB years. Anyone know if the U20 team is the same? The qualifying procedures are a bit murky to me. Lilledahl (57), Forrest (61), M. Blaze (65), Duke (70), J. Blaze (74), & Sinclair (92) are all U20 eligible as well. Ruiz (79) too? I haven't looked at the U23 champ DOB to see if the other weights could be U20.

Here is a link to the old UWW database that still gets updated.

It opens back up for a bit for anyone who loses their head coach.

If you have a chest lock it isn't a TD. I thought they called the match pretty spot on. Dake ran a lot at the end and got the caution for it. The TD was close, but not quite there.

Michigan. The wrestling program was shut down recently due to an investigation into hazing incidents.

You did great work! Is there a way you can go back and do previous days if you missed one?

The guy doing National Duals. https://www.oklahoman.com/story/sports/college/2025/04/02/college-wrestling-national-duals-invitational-announces-eligible-teams-1-million-purse-chad-richison/82746314007/
