Amen...I have been to opens with "D1" guys and a lot that are at that level have no business. BTW toward the midwest, the Opens for DI means you typically are the redshirts or the backups.

So.....because he was an 8th grader last year also, he can't compete this year again as an 8th grader, so he is wrestling opens? Is that the understanding of the rule? Also, This is not the first year of the Open, in some previous years it had different sponsorships...I think this is the 3rd or 4th year of it. Opens....Open to all Midlands/Scuffle- Special permission to compete (invite)....I only know of 1 non D1 ever to compete at Scuffle.
