ncaa schools with wrestling programs:
PA- 34
OH- 14
NJ- 5
KS- 2
PA- has 12 d1 programs!
4X THE POPULATION- 17X THE OPPORTUNITY...
ALL THINGS ARE NOT EQUAL...
i never said if they were.....
i simply stated that population, and geography had plenty to do with it. 20-30 walk-ons... 25walk ons x 12 geographic opportunities=:
300/0- roster spots PA/KS- D1
110/50- PA/KS- D2
400/O- PA/KS- D3
i know walk-ons aren't qualifiers or even starters, but the numbers are alarming in favor of population/geography. i don't think that's ALL there is to it, NEVER SAID IT WAS. just trying to prove a point, and spark interest in KS college programs. will it do any good? who knows.
i feel the biggest reason is, HS sports is a bigger deal to the people in these states. i don't have any data to back that up, but it's a gut feeling. the opportunity to be exposed/influenced by an NCAA coach/program in PA,OH,NJ is much more than here in KS, simply because population and geography.
this has been fun, thanks.
