Was definitely Shane...not sure who he was paired with though.

The Big 12 threw one of their seven bids back...Maxwell Petersen (North Dakota State) did not wrestle.

Absolutely!

This document is now complete.

Continues to be updated...

before going to sleep tonight!

This continues to be updated...expect quite a few today!

Pretty sure he was a grad assistant there, not an actual wrestler.

EIWA's finals are at 12:15 PM. Pretty sure Ivies are on ESPN+, not Flo. Big 12's are on ESPNU, not ESPN+.

Yep! He's there! A couple more filled out since I last posted.

And there was another one to add...this one, unfortunately, due to injury.

They will not. MAC, Pac-12, and SoCon do it, the other five conferences do not.

Had its first entry, in the last match of the night for Pac-12's.

Flo has already mentioned they will be showing the true seconds. They aren't clueless about wrestling the way the Pac-12 Network used to be.

The reason why is because it includes the third-place matches as well.

Absolutely not. Their sports are an integral part of their business model. I'm worried about some programs, but not LIU or SHU.

Couldn't disagree more. Having the Ivy League schools in their own (home) conference makes it less likely, not more, that those schools will drop, and the EIWA dropping down to a more manageable number will make it more likely (moves the 0.01% over a decimal) that programs in the northeast region of the country will be able to start a program and find a conference immediately, something that (you probably recall) Morgan State had to wait a year to do.

Except that what you've labeled as TB-1 and TB-2 are both part of TB-1...

Stalling! Stalling, One! Stalling, One! Stalling, Two! Stalling, <Tweet>!

There's never been anything about only getting the champ. The only time that was ever a going concern was in 2021, when a wrestler had to either have four matches prior to (or including) the conference tournament, or had to win their conference (not just earn an allocated spot). Remember Real Woods came in second in the Pac-12 that year, but didn't have enough matches until he wrestled an extra match later on that allowed him to be in the at-large pool. As far as the transition period, that's only that the conference is eligible for it, not that they automatically get it. Imagine if, in that sport that makes the NCAA (not the institutions) most of their money, Oregon State and Washington State simply played a one-game playoff in March, and the winner went to the tournament? That would be ridiculous. What you may remember was in 2015, the Big 12 had no automatic or allocated bids at all, and all 40 wrestlers participating in the championships had to go into the at-large pool. It was that summer that Air Force, North Dakota State, Northern Colorado, South Dakota State, Utah Valley, and Wyoming joined the Big 12 as wrestling affiliates.

Yeah, the effort that needs to be made is getting the ghost of Johnny Cochran involved, because if nothing else, the Cleveland State University students should be suing the pants off the university, as Jason Bryant mentioned above.

Sorry, thought I was in a different thread...
