I know I"m late to this discussion, but there better be a decent reason for this. The field at Midlands last year was terrible compared to the Scuffle, and if the field isn't drastically better this year, I will be disappointed in the move.
I am not. It's closer (so it's cheaper), you can play up the history, you still get a two day weigh in, and with the money saved you can go to Grapple at the Garden to get the team valuable NY expierence before NCAAs. If they don't do Grapple and still go to Cliff Keen they will still see plenty of good teams out there.
Oh and last year the first few rounds of the Midlands was streamed on BTN2GO FOR FREE. Finals were on BTN. Gotta love being able to watch wrestling on TV.
