I don't want to touch the debate about wrestling on the feet, etc. But as far as the kids going to college issue I have a question/idea...
Could KS wrestlers be choosing to go to smaller schools because Kansas does not have any Division I wrestling programs? You know a lot of kids prefer to stay closer to home for college because of a variety of reasons.
My personnel opinion is that it would be great if the KS colleges could establish some wrestling programs. After watching the high school wrestling in KS and helping coach in the little kids programs for the past two years I am thouroghly impressed with the number of wrestlers and the level of wrestling in KS. It's a shame that our kids have to grow up wrestling knowing that they have to go out of state to wrestle when it comes time for college.
