I agree to not follow Boxings lead or dieing marketing approach. I am a fan and haven't watched a boxing match in 15 years. Is boxing a NCAA sport with thousands of students athletes that need some consideration?

right!

There cutting to 205 because they dont want to go heavy and give up the pounds obviously. right a better product leads to a better draw

Leadership at its finest!

he's the top 3 hahaha Spencer Lee Austin Desanto David Carr Mitchell Mesenbrink Jordan Burroughs Thomas Gilman Tom Brands Nate Jackson Dan Gable Marl Iacovelli Tony Mantella Randy the razor Gillette

I can live with it we've all lived with it. Reality is what it is, it is NOT broken, you guys have made that clear. I am definitely not swayed that it is fair.

The only downer in wrestling is overmatched heavyweight match. If the dual is over everyones leaving. If the duals over and theres a good match everyones staying. When Lucas Davidson, Isaac Trumble, all the tweeners say they're good; I'll stop fighting for them, only because one little white girl hitting logo threes can make a difference.

College wrestling is never a downer!!!

Good point in the 149 Lovett had the wheels coming off. But maybe could have got them to consider reaction time on the pinto TD.

nash hutchmaker was 7-8 EXACTLY! The only reason he won is because he was 60 pounds heavier

I never saw a green brick even in the 174 when Pinto had Simma's second ankle for like maybe a second or less real time and got the TD. Coach was verbal never threw the brick

After watching the Nebraska Illinois GREAT match, and seeing maybe 500-700 in the stands, kinda agreeing with you guys; there's no growth to support it. Too bad for the tweeners. Like watching them taking on and beating the heavys. They do need more equity because his top end in the division is what? Because if he's wrestling Wyatt or Kerk, 200 or more of these people are walking out early. We'll see how many 218 pounders get recruited or passed on. You guys are correct! If you don't want to wrestle the bigs you're a wussy.

Was the ref late starting swipes when Realbuto had Lovett in danger first time after reversal not at end?

different emotion and risk factor depending on your opponent, not always the course

No, it was stated that the Brands one trick pony coaching style Spencer Lee arm bar has to be replaced. Not and rankings

Do you really think it is fair a really good 220-230 gives up 50 pounds to a good 280 pounder? Just answer that one simple question. Or they should all be happy with bulking up and taking 4 or 5th for 4 years? Who cares about AD's. What about the student athlete. Also because 2 220 pounders is a better product than a 220 285 match. Your telling me there's not enough wrestlers who fit this body type?? And if the weights are split maybe there's half 220 wrestlers and half 230-285 wrestlers that's more guys wrestling equal opponents isn't that why we have weight classes. Programs are getting 3 deep at 197 look at all the new guys, If they put on a growth spurt then all they have is freestyle. Which brings us to another reason building for the 96kg spot. If your looking to freestyle 96kg you sit out college or give up 50 pounds.

Do you work for the WNBA?

I didn't see any byes in the 218 pound weight class at the Doc Buchanon. But they can all bulk up.

the chart is based on the only choices that existed. So why are only 262 sign up for 285? because if your 220 you have half a chance. Is it fact that Keuter's choice was publicized because its so extraordinary? Men are bigger now. The more the merrier!

And for all the Keuters there's ten that do the opposite. A percentage because of this gap. A lot of athletes there.

Do you think Snyder would be happy if there was no 97(213 pounds)? Or he would just be happy to bulk up?

I thought we were talking about high school light heavyweight athletes leaving to play other sports and nil's. Did you read the last paragraph of the original post? guys with no fat to cut (210-235) leaving wrestling to be a QB or DB. There is no weight class for them. How many more college wrestlers might there be; if the gap wasn't so big? So right now basically if your'e in that demographic the reality is; you're Deion Sanders wrestling Lawrence Taylor or Gronk.

Yeah we were all hoping Dake / Brooks would Olympic Gold; but the Brands coached the highest mens freestyle medal just saying.

I dont think its about wrestlers that would follow their passion no matter what they weighed. Its more about bringing or keeping athletes in this demo graphic ( 210-240 pounds) a into the sport or to stay wrestling without moving on because theres a Hendrickson or kerkvliet that they have to eventually meet.
