Why would you even have a wrestle off if you don't plan on using the guy that wins?
Over the last few years I have been hearing stories of coaches, (a few that I even knew) that wouldn't allow the winner to actually have the varsity spot at the next event. I thought that was one of the greatest things about our sport, the starting spots were not someone's opinion. You wrestle/fight for that spot!
I know of it happening at a D1 school this season! Is this the new norm?
