Randy good post but you forgot a couple of things… Manhattan won a title with no champs in 2004! OK I just had to pull a Richard.
I believe Abilene in 1998 had no Champs either and won it if I'm not mistaken...that was a pretty good team that year too.
Pulling a Richard?! Is that allowed in public?!
Seriously though, I think too often in smaller programs most of the "non elite" guys are falling to the backdrop of the overall picture. You lose a starter to a knee tweak or something and then have a backup you never suspected to crack the lineup and you are frantically running around pushing him to the brink that the sport is not fun anymore. I wouldn't mind seeing Novice wrestling camps in Kansas for low prices for those breaking into the sport (especially those from 6th grade on that are a few years behind the die hard kid's level wrestlers.
