Agreed. I hate the "equivalency" status of some sports. Not to hijack your wrestling thread, but softball is the same way.



Softball gets 12 scholarships total. Typical rosters are ~25 players.

Wrestling needs more teams before it needs more scholarships.

Adding to the scholarship max will just create a larger gap between the haves and have-nots. There are plenty of Division I schools that don't/can't fund the full 9.9 now. If that number was bumped up to 11 or 12 or whatever, the likely result would be more teams dropping the sport.
