Six times Gray Simons - 7.

BIG passed away a while ago. He was one of the OGs on themat and TWT.

I was actually curious …

Way too much Kidz Bop (which is effing terrible)

It’s also a timing thing. Set up for finals with the stage and mat was completed just before doors opened.

Session 5 was changed to this format last year. We did it this way last week in Providence for D3 as well. Didn’t have anything to do with 47.

Tie was Greenlee at the All-Star. Other loss might have been Hall too … talked to Pecora back in June before he passed and he had it in front of him. I think I wrote it down somewhere.

That's incorrect. The record is 234.5 set in 2017. They tied their own NAIA record with 7 finalists and tied the NAIA record for most champs (6) in a season, tying the 1981 Central Oklahoma (then known as Central State) squad.

Lehigh's in the Patriot League, not the CAA.

Over.

It sucks

TJ took at least one L in his NJCAA season.

I get it, you don’t like the terminology, just like I don’t like the archaic, redundant and misapplied term pinfall. Cheers

Which Points? The advent of points vs. a fall & time advantage? Team Scoring Changes? Match Points? Advent of the superior decision? Removal of the SD and advent of the major and technical fall? advent of overtime in dual meets? advent of criteria in team scoring events with dual advancement? advent of criteria in regular season duals? return of ties in duals? return of criteria in regular season duals? First takedown is 2 points, then all of them 1 point? Back to all takedowns being 2 points? Falls being 3 seconds? Falls being 2 seconds? Falls being 1 second? You see the issue with selecting an era based on a scoring rule? There's just too many. A scoring rule change didn't change the number of athletes who could or couldn't compete en masse and how many years they can compete like the FR eligibility did - Divisional Era is probably the most logical, since it set into motion what we have today. I'm not saying it's THE solution, but given the structure and history of the sport, the two above options make more sense to set clear eras apart from one another.

After 1969, freshman COULD wrestle, whereas before, there were rules against it. Pretty clear line of demarcation in regards to historical significance. No other changes, as of this moment, impacted eligibility and the sport's records like that change did. The exceptions are the 1947 year of freshman eligibility and the additional COVID year. The fact coaches became the arbiter of who wrestled when is immaterial - they were not allowed prior, making it a logical place to separate eras - the three-year era and the four-year era. Not sure why it's so bothersome. One other separator could simply be 1973-74 - the Divisional era, where the NCAA went to three divisions.

It's the era of four-year eligibility, that's the determining factor between wrestling before and wrestling after - save the one instance of 1947. Statistically, everything before then is different. Hence, why those of us who spend heavy time researching and archiving things that have never been properly chronicled have tended to look at it. Is the term "modern era" incorrect? It might be. Maybe it's the "four-year-eligibility era" but that's too annoying to write repeatedly. MLB's modern era is considered anything after 1901. MLB even designates some differences in stats from when they lowered the mound and the advent of the DH. I'm not saying its universally accepted or will be universally accepted, but that is the one clear line in the sport that separates the stats of old from the stats of today.

They lost to Arizona State and Iowa in that span.

Klingman, myself and a couple of the other wrestling historian types have tended to define the "modern era of college wrestling" to be full freshman eligibility (save the outlier '47 season), so from 1969 on. It's basically the era of "four time" anything ...

I made the clarification on the older post (From last year) after you posted it here. I figured it would make sense and go back to update the original post you linked to, so past references would be accurate.
