2015 - 2016 Wrestling Schedule

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.

Grapple is the same day as the ISU-Iowa dual (Nov. 29).

Not a lot of home meets after the new year. Virginia Duals should be cool though.
 
At least UNI, Minnesota and Kansas City aren't far away if I want to seen another dual. Might have to go visit the Thorns in Minneapolis.

Already planning on going to New York for Nationals.

Yeah I knew that. Much of the schedule was set up prior to the merger. I am not even sure we are required to in the future. Wyoming is the only WWC team this year. I am sure more will be in the future.

Yeah, I looked at the SDSU website and they have WVU and OSU this year. Maybe it will just be a growing schedule over time.
 
I did a quick and dirty look at returning All American and Round of Twelve guys we'll see in duals this season (other than the Virginia Duals since I don't know who we'll see there). This doesn't include Vegas or Midlands. I also didn't consider redshirts, injuries, or guys moving around weights. This is just returning AA/R12 guys on teams we have duals against. Looks like 125 is going to have the toughest dual matchups, followed by heavyweight.
