What DII and DIII schools in the midwest or anywhere else allow crappy washed up wrestlers like myself to walk-on or something of the sort? I already know the Kansas ones by the way, so you can bypass though.

I'm not necessarily going to do it, I'm just curious where exactly I could go.

I don't know if you are just trying to be humble by saying, "crappy washed up wrestlers like myself to walk-on." But that is the wrong attitude to have when making a decision on wrestling in college. Wrestling in college is a big committment and the number one thing that is neccesary to be successful at that level is a good attitude. Humble, yes-negative, no!
University of Kearny at Nebraska, University of Nebraska at Omaha, University of Central Oklahoma, Central Missouri State University, and Truman State University are a few D IIs in the midwest. Bacone, Dana, and Missouri Valley are a few D III's. Good Luck-but remember that the number one thing needed at any level of wrestling is a good attitude. So cut out the self negative talk and get started by lifting, running, and drilling and you will be on your way to a good career.

Ha ha, I was just being sarcastic. If I did it I'd do it at 110 percent.

Well D-III-wise you have:

Cornell, Coe, Buena Vista, Simpson, University of Dubuque, Loras, Luther, Central and defending NCAA champion Wartburg all located in Iowa, along with Upper Iowa University which just moved up to Division II. How's that for starters?

Check to see what the coach's philosophy on cutting athletes is. Some coaches cut to eliminate room clutter, where as others allow as many to come out and you weed yourself out if you don't have it in your heart anymore.
