Yeah. That's it. Thanks for in info.

You live and you learn. Tough way to lose a dream job.

It's great to time to be a freestyle wrestling fan.

Sometimes you have to speak out even if it infuriates the people who hate you.

Absolutely

Because Michigan can't develop their talent?

Awesome

Where is participation up? There's multiple forfeits per dual meet. Sometimes up to half the matches are forfeits. The jv teams used to have better participation in the PIAA. Even our good teams are forfeiting weights? The teams are lucky to have 20 kids total on their rosters. We also lost 71 Division 1 wrestling programs in the last 50 years. How can be considered "growth" is beyond logic and reasoning.

No.. but being boring as hell wont increases viewership. And smaller schools will tap out because they're most likely losing money because of decreased enrollment. Fringe sports like wrestling will be the first to be dropped. Its a domino effect

Greco is too tough. You can roll over a pin yourself when you're tired. Freestyle is at an all time in the USA. Its was a golden era with Burroughs leading the way. Snyder. Dake. Taylor. All multiple times world champions. Forrest. Duke. Blaze. Bassett, Miller etc. Hard-core freestyle kids. It's awesome to see this happen in our country. We will surpass Russis and Iran. Which was nearly inconceivable a decade ago.

Where? The coverage is better and the elite wrestlers are better. No doubt. But, the sport is in decline. Girls wrestling has increased though. The elite high school guys are awesome, how about your local non power schools? So many forfeits and pins. There aren't any fans there, except their parents and friends. Not to mention the number of D1 colleges who have dropped wrestling since 1970 is staggering. Yeah, title 9. I honestly don't know how much longer it will be before we see D1 wrestling with under 50 teams. Especially with the poaching and open market NIL.

It has to change or the sport will continue to decline. The forced stalemate is stalling. But, somehow its rewarded with a restart.
