D-2 Individual State needs to go away!

How is it that "private schools" get caught cheating. A split comes about, and all of a sudden, its all the DI coaches " crying, moaning and calling for a SPLIT" ??? Somebody please explain that to me.

"Private Schools" did not get caught cheating. One did. Is that reason enough to take the opportunity away from our kids to compete with the best, wherever they come from?

I may be wrong but as I understand it BA wasn't caught cheating but sued to get the rules changed.

There was a school that was caught "recruiting" but I still think there should be a combined Individual State Championship. There are many public schools that have students that attened a school although they do not live in that area. The rules are easily broken in both divisions. Not to cause any type of argument back when Overton was competing at a high level they had a couple of wrestlers that lived by me and it was obvious they were attending Overton because they had a better chance to compete in wrestling with a better coach and program. It is tough to fault a wrestler or any student/athlete for wanting better just like many of the kids that go to a private school, because it give them a better opportunity than their neighborhood school does. Sorry back to the subject, combine the Individual Tournament.

We have gone over this a hundred times on this board! This topic will never die!

It will die for now... let's just talk about the action on the mat. D-I vs D-II as far as talent goes is an interesting topic, but it most always degenerates to private-public debate. Go to the pub-priv board if you want to do that. Thanks.
