Those are the kids that got screwedNope
Were there any 3-time champions that didn't get a chance at the 4th?Nope
Not sure. The two that pop into my head as past champs were CeJo and mark Hall. I think The older Valencia may have been a senior also. To be able to have another year, you had to have a year of eligibility left. The Ivy League in wrestling and originally the big ten and pac 12 in football are reasons that they made this year not count, so they wouldn’t lose a year since others played and you didn’t. I think it would have been better to just go by individual schools/conferences and say if your school doesn’t compete, then you get another year.Were there any 3-time champions that didn't get a chance at the 4th?
The problem with last years seniors was decisions were not made until basically the start of this year. Most had probably moved on and either took jobs, signed with clubs to go the Olympic route and such. The decision would have needed to have dropped immediately to have give enough time for last years seniors.My rule would have been anyone whom qualified last year would have been given a extra year. That's it. For wrestlers and anyone who lost out on end of year tournament.

You having trouble posting too?My rule would have been anyone whom qualified last year would have been given a extra year. That's it. For wrestlers and anyone who lost out on end of year tournament.
I agree and I didn't address the timing of things. I just don't like how the NCAA made a broad rule across all sports. IMO it would have been easy to have each sport make it's own "covid exceptions". By giving this years kids an extra year you're essentially rewarding the TrFr whom didn't miss anything and also hurting incoming recruits for years to come. My rule would only apply to the guys whom actually qualified for the 2020 tourney. Everyone else would lose a year just as if they would have in any normal year. This could have been applied the same way for basketball.The problem with last years seniors was decisions were not made until basically the start of this year.

Had this same discussion with buddies of mine. We all agreed that they should not be allowed to wrestle in more than 4 NCAA tournaments.Slow day at work so I was reading Jaydin Eierman's wiki page. Impressive collegiate career redshirting as true freshman and then going 5-4-3-2 at Nationals getting beat by Heil-Diakomihalis-Diakomihalis-Lee. He also took an Olympic last year. To date his record is 103-15.
My issue is this... due to the COVID-19 Eierman confirmed he will come back in 2021–2022 as a 25 year old, sixth-year senior.
I believe that if you have wrestled at 4 national tourney's you should be done. That's BS.
