    The truth is you will never find a apples to apples partially because when data suggest the alternative you can come up with a million reasons why. I get a lot of folks don't like women's sport and that's fine. But just because you don't like or watch something doesn't make it true when you...

    If you want apples to apples to you consider the Mens College world series comparable to the women's because they out drew the men the last 2 year on all the ESPN platforms. You may not care about women's sports and that is fine but the truth is women's sports are now a billion dollar...

    This might be your opinion but actual data suggests 2x-4x more people care about the Women's College World Series than the NCAA Wrestling Championships. The 2025 Women’s College World Series (WCWS) set all-time viewership records, with an average of 1.3 million viewers across 15 games on ESPN...

    2026 NCAA Wrestling Championship Official Thread

    The real difference is bonus points at this point. After Thursday morning, both programs were 10-0 but PSU was up close to 15 on us due to bonus. They go for the kill EVERY match. DT is working on that mentality. But if you want to win it all as a team, it is going to take bonus points to do it.

    It’s not that he lost, it’s how he lost. That last match was an awful effort.

    No his opponent did. Dee got the point.

    You are correct, he argued about neutral or top for so long, the ref threatened a stall. He needs to let David coach him. You can tell by the way David acts around Dee that he truly thinks Dee can be special. Dee just needs to trust the process and wrestle. Stop with trying to be flashy...

    Not hating just my observation after watching every single match this year. After he lost last night he chunked his head gear. He only had himself to blame. He continually looks for a big move in the last 30 seconds. Great if you get it and in high school the superior guy gets that move a lot...

    Get Dee to quit thinking like a high school guy who is superior to most and only thinks he has to wrestle the last 30 seconds of a period to make a move and score.

    9th place?

    There is a wildcard at those weights and several seeded guys didn’t place so they called for 9th matches.

    Big 12 Brackets

    Do you award 1, 1.5, 2 or 3 points for each bye? All 4 are in play for every match. If you just give 1, is it fair to assume no #1 or #2 seed would have not scored bonus points? There is no truly fair way when team scores are in play. They have come up with a system that attempts to be as...

    But you lose the advancement points for that match which in a close tournament could cost you a championship. If we got 9 first round byes, that costs us a minimum of 9 team points and a maximum of 27 if all 9 were pins. I would hate to lose the team title because we got 9 first round byes.

    They don't typically open the top is ticket sales don't support the need. I don't think it was open last year.
