NCAA Cabinet Says-----

[hand fighter]

Now will Cael, Tom and the rest start attending NCWA funtions and start contibuting for the Well Being of ALL programs?

 Wrestling community shoots itself in the foot.  Claims no progress is actually progress.

I actually like the idea of a NCAA Dual champion, but I don't like that only 51% of coaches were in favor.  Possible anarchy there.  Good job by NCAA committee to recognize that wrestling is not ready for a change, but clearly change is necessary to keep wrestling around in the distant future.  I hear many opposed the the NWCA working on this issue.  So if the NWCA doesn't take the lead in problem solving this issue, who will?   Even though it has failed for now,  I am glad that somebody is trying to keep wrestling around for the distant future.

The plan clearly needs revision to draw in more coaches, and then maybe the NCAA will listen.

Again, I like the option of having 2 separate National championships, Individual and Dual, even if the NCAA will only "recognize" one of them. Why take away from one to prop up another? That would be progress to me.

[Hardcore]

Did the NCAA just call this a mulligan? I hope that both sides of the arguement take advantage of this gift and work together to finding a solution to this problem.

+1 Akin. My thoughts exactly.

I was shouting for that like on page 10 of the 50 pages of debate...I am fine with 2, but I'm not going to cut off my nose to spite my face

Do ALL programs pay their salaries, or do the Universities of Pennsylvania and Iowa do that?  I think they should be there but don't play that card.  FANS need to contribute to the well being of all programs.  Coaches need to worry about their teams and what is best for their student athletes.

Friendly reminder:  Pennsylvania State University != University of Pennsylvania.

I'm with you on that Fuhr. But i've been told by more than one D1 coach that a few coach's refuse to cooperate/contibute. One of the coach's and i quote" Cael and Tom are out on an island of their own!"

and what a large well funded island it is with a huge fan base that gives a crap about the wrestling teams

[Rockhard]

I have a feeling it will be back to them by february.

This is a win for those who knew it was too rushed. Now, if you really want this to happen, put some time, thought and research into it, and data to back it up.

Does this mean the boy will continue to wrestle? He has mad skills. It would be a shame to lose him.

Yeah but if I had said the state universities of Iowa and Pennsylvania I would have been saying ISU.  Seemed like a bigger faux pas to me and I wanted to be all fancy like.

Lol he might come out of retirement now.
