Anyone remember who the best team in wrestling was this past year? I forgot already!
Which probably means they will screw it up and this won’t be a thingIf they do eligibility adjustments, it should only involve NCAA qualifiers.

Watch Penn State win it all again next year now. They had one somewhat "rebuilding" year, and the tourney gets cancelled that year.
PSU will always be tough but Iowa's chances next year are better than they were this year. They lose Cenzo and Hall, their two best chances at a natty. Iowa brings everyone back except Lugo but will add Eierman.
This may be a little out there, but the NCAA should consider granting all winter athletes another year of eligibility (for those who would want it). i understand that there are a lot of financial considerations involved, but there has to be some fair and logical solution for the athletes.
I sadly agree with you, but I mean all winter sports, not just wrestling.As much as it sucks for the seniors, I can’t see the NCAA disrupting the careers of 4 classes of guys for the sake of 1 class losing only losing a weekend.

You can’t replicate how healthy Iowa stayed this year though. That has to be the toughest part to swallow.
Hold on there. You beat PSU by 2 points. Had Anthony Cassar been available you drop that dual. You were best by a little.Toughest part to swallow is the fact they lost out on a chance for a back to back. Iowa was by far the best team this year. Sucks.
I have no idea what the right answer is, but I tend to agree with this. If an extra year of eligibility is granted it doesn't just affect seniors or qualifiers. There have been teams working plans for years for their lineups. Recruits committed to plans coaches laid out for them. Likely a very upset true freshman class that were in the stables ready to break into the lineup next year. I'm sure they wouldn't get an extra year of eligibility when they were planning on being the guy next year. My point is this would have a ripple effect all the way down through every class and likely impact more than just next year, but several years.As much as it sucks for the seniors, I can’t see the NCAA disrupting the careers of 4 classes of guys for the sake of 1 class losing only losing a weekend.

I also see the other side. NCAA tells seniors/qualifiers sorry it happened like this, but at least you wrestled a full regular season and conference tournament so we won't be granting an extra year of eligibility. Wrestlers would throw the regular season away in a second if they could wrestle at nationals. Not to mention wrestlers who sat out a good part of the year to try to be as close to 100% as they could come nationals, i.e. David Carr.I have no idea what the right answer is, but I tend to agree with this.
