On Flo I’ve heard three college coaches during interviews state that wrestling most likely will not begin until January. NCAA would still be in March, it would be a short season. Waiting to hear something official from the NCAA.

Which coaches? B10 & PAC have cancelled falls sports so you'd expect there won't be wrestling during fall semester in those conferences.

They (Coaches panel) made the recommendation to the NCAA to move back the season and have been talking about doing so pre-Covid.

The only stumbling block had been the 3 year contract for the NCAA tourney and not being able to move that back. This Covid mess will likely force the issue and we will see college wrestling not starting until Jan 1.
