Yes, there are going to be times when a good athlete does not make varsity, or reach the state tournament. There will be times in life when a good, qualified employee gets passed over for a job, example, more examples, etc... They are all a part of life. Wrestling has 14 variable positions for varsity. Once they are filled they are filled, should be as simple as that. It's seems to me that wrestling is already one of the fairest sports when affording an athlete to obtain varsity status. If you want to consider "unfair", what about basketball and football. Vince I think I've asked you before since you have a passion for football: are you in favor of mandating in the rules that every football team has to have at least 2 players on the field at all times that weighs no more than 125Lbs? And Basketball: lets mandate that EVERY team must have a player no taller than 5'5" on the court at all times. I'm sure there are lots of players that fit these two examples that never make varsity. Awfully "unfair" am I not correct?
Beleive me, I sypothize with a quality wrestler that sits behind a stud, but that is simply the way it is, and in the case you are so passionate about, it is more of the exception and not the rule. When you start taking basically everyone on the team as "varsity", I think you diminish the Passion and the Pride of the accomplishment of being a varsity wrestler. It would create an exactly similar circumstance as to qualifying for state in 6A with predominately losing records. It simply doesnt mean as much.
