trying to generate some talk and opinion before nationals with this…I know many are upset about trouble with the qualifying system…well when it changes to regionals it won’t be much better..here’s why—
The regionals are set up to be lop-sided …right now the proposal is to have iowa conference and and great lakes conference join regions where there only 11 teams and conferences like empire and metro will join 18 team regions… meanwhile all regions will have the same amount of national bids where only top 3 go. This format was proposed by a former Augsburg coach (Swenson) and it is in my opinion that they are merely trying to line up the odds in their favor as they always have been. Soooo… 18 teams—30 qualifiers and 11 teams—30 qualifiers! You do the math..and tell me which teams end up on the higher end of the stick here. These sellfish administrators are going to be the people to ruin d-3 and it is my recommendation that this be heavily contested at the coaches meeting at nationals. They are basing it on historical data when the whole idea of regions was to get away from historical data… what gives? If this goes down, more and more programs will continue to be cut and fewer teams will have a shot at representation at nationals. Ultimately, this is going to put us back in the same boat, with guys like Rice from NYU having to stay home, all because teams like Augs. and Wart. want to take 10 guys and will stop at nothing to ensure it happens. I appreciate any supportive feedback on this!
Bamboozled…I agree. If you look at those qualifier stats based on regions hings are very lopsided. I would hate to see these sorts of things proliferate as it would and already has started to hurt d3 wrestling.
Also anyone know details on Alex burkle of Coe at hwt? I see he is out of brackets and know he hurt himself while leading iliac finals
