Cool event for a smaller team cause you may even only get 1,500 people for a lower tier team but for big opponents you could make more money by wrestling at Hilton
If you want a smaller venue for a smaller team, I’d bring back the auditorium.
I would have said no, but watching that special on Gotch got me to change my mind. If Dresser is cool with it, I think it is a great tribute.
There arer so few duals as it is, having them at Hilton is preferred. However, the idea of taking the team "to the people" has a lot of merit, so my vote is for a hybrid - every 2nd or 3rd year in Humboldt, the rest in Hilton. But you know what, I am so impressed by what Dresser has done, let him do what he wants; he has earned it.
Do it as long as KD wants have a meet in his home town. Simple.
NCAA championship teams don’t wrestle duals in high school gyms.
IPTV needs Nate and Kyven on the broadcast....
Thought it was nice Hilton had it on before gymnastics today.
While I think it should probably end, I am guessing most of the wrestling NIL money comes from Humboldt area. If it keeps the teams good and transfers coming, keep doing it. Preferably against lower level teams.
If KD makes a lot of money because of big fish up there, you keep doing it. If not, consider bringing big duals back home.
When they wrestle at Hilton the money goes to the athletic dept. it doesn’t go to the wrestling team. When they wrestle in Humboldt the money goes to the CRTC.
I guess that's why its also never been on ESPN+
Anyone care to explain “most of the wrestling NIL money comes from the Humboldt area”?
Hadn’t made the connection and genuinely curious- especially in this newer NIL world. Impressed with what Dresser has done from a CRTC fundraising standpoint as well relative to many other competitor wrestling programs.
Humboldt and Algona have quite a few big wrestling donors. Central northern Iowa is sneaky cyclone country.
FWIW I am glad that they still host a dual up there. It's a great way for many to see elite wrestling up close. Even in Hilton you are a bit away from the mats
