Let me update the correct data; Cleveland State is sending two wrestlers to the 2024 NCAA Championships, 197: Ben Smith - 285: Daniel Bucknavich. The Vikings wrapped up the 2022 MAC Championships on Saturday, with Marcus Robinson (149), Riley Smucker (165), and Ben Smith (197) qualifying for the NCAA Championships. The Cleveland State wrestling team wrapped up action at the 2021 Mid-American Conference Championships Saturday, with Marcus Robinson (149), DeAndre Nassar (184) and Ben Smith (197) all qualifying for the NCAA Tournament.

If CSU was TRULEY serious about their Wrestling Program, they could bring in out of state tuition and more money. The program hasn't had an All American in the past 30 years. Let that sink in, 30 yrs!!! Check my research, but I don't think a NCAA qualifier since 2020. The institute never has and never will commit to a National Search for a top tier staff. I know it’s comparing apples to oranges, but Ohio State has a paid recruiter for their wrestling program. PA, OH, CA. NJ, IA are the top high school wrestling programs year after year and CSU can't even keep a 3 star or 4-star kid home. The Cleveland State University men’s wrestling team is made up of 32 wrestlers. The team has an academic progress rate of 958, which is a measure of how well they do in the classroom. Cleveland State University brought in $391,707 in revenue from its wrestling program while paying out $398,681 in expenses. The program had net loss of $-6,974. Wil be a sad day, but this may be the end to the program and Cleveland holds the NCAA's March 2026. CSU cares about basketball and the program loses money as well. Cleveland State University brought in $2,708,461 in revenue from its men's basketball program while paying out $3,128,202 in expenses. Net loss of $419,741. The sports teams at Cleveland State University brought home $14,782,161 in revenue while shelling out $14,553,259 in expenses. In other words, the sports department made a profit of $228,902. That’s a whole lot better than taking a loss!

Paddy wrestled 160 Sr. of high school year 4 yrs. ago, was time to bump, probably should have at the start of the season but, coming of a major knee surgery, needed to settle in, get in top form/shape and bump. Watch his last two matches at 157, he was a bit winded by middle of the 2nd period, never happens with him, has a huge tank, watch those close, he a bit shaky coming off the mat. Love & respect Sammy 100%, I won't comment on, "he can't beat Sasso". Better decision all around for Paddy, Sammy and the team. Go Bucks!!!

Sorry if it has been posted, any idea what mats are consi. for this round and what mats are Champ? Thank you, God Bless and Go Buckeyes!!!

NCAAs are next Thursday, Friday & Saturday, 3/16, 17, 18..........

When are the AT Large Bids released? Need some education on these Bids, does past years matter, an AA last year, etc. What are the top three criteria?

Something needs to be done, can't give reply over 5 minutes to make the call. Last night both wrestlers had over 5 minutes if rest, water, Gatorade and time to fix their hair, it's ridiculous. Saw it last week too Rob/Gallager match.

O'Toole not improving??? 3rd and an NCAA Champ, was undefeated until last night and lost to another NCAA Champ and 3rd placer.
