Academics have nothing to do with the rule, it is a health issue. After 5 matches the KSHAA determined that a health risk is a greater probabilty. I know from previous experience that a wrestler, even a top notch wrestler, does not wrestle his best after 4 matches, they are just too drained.
I agree with Mr. Sweazy on the fact the maybe the tie breaker criteria for duals should be added to determine the winner, at least that has something to do with wrestling instead of pure luck. This is the exact reason I do not gamble, there is just not a high percentage outcome. The KSHAA has done a good job on this one, keeping wrestlers/athletes healthy is of main concern. It is not the best outcome but neither is wrestling 6 matches in one day, this is the best fix for the problem and it has held up for many years.
Someone once said "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Sometimes we are too quick to change, somethings are fine the way they are, some on the other hand need changed (alternative fuel sources come to mind).

Don't you just hate it when someone brings facts AND logic to a discussion?
