Could be, but that is where football and basketball are headed. Power 2 and the group of X. Wrestling is headed there whether based on conferences or programs. Those that have money for NIL will continue to try to compete and others will decide if it is worth continuing their programs.
Asking schools to start programs would be a long way from being competitive. Best solution is to merge with ACC for wrestling, even with the Stanford losses, it brings in some really good programs.
Merge with ACC for wrestling- makes both conferences stronger- VA Tech, NC State, Pitt, Stanford would be great and UNC, UVA and Duke are not as competitive, but would be competitive for some of the teams.
I don’t think Jax cares where he is and the other guys want to be on the opposite of the bracket😜. I would like to see Jax Byrd Friday night.
I am sure there will be a lot of debate about this weight.🤔
So why not Metcalf? Only one in that group with coaching experience and an Iowa alum. I have no information, but seems like he could be a decent choice and more coaching experience than all a some international success.
Would be interesting if he came and took his recruits like Brands. I think the AD has to call DT and at least explore. The don't have a lot of great options, but I am guessing Metcalf. Completely an outsider with no information, but my guess.
