How can posters get on this forum and have any valid argument against the way the kshsaa monitors wrestling? The only people who get on here and complain are probably the same who attend private schools which don't even following the kshsaa regulations anyway. That's all the private schools want. To not have any rules and yet make sure that they stay in the classification that they want so they can win state titles without following the same rules as everyone else. It is ridiculous. How do you explain some schools are always 5a in football, yet 6a in everything else year in and year out? How do you explain a school with the male population of a 4a school, but with very few females, they get to remain 2a?

Then you add the parents of the wrestlers who only care about national exposure and want to wrestle all over the country, but then still compete on the state level but at their own convenience. Pick one. If you don't like the way the state regulates it, put a sign in your yard and move to Pennsylvania where your kid wouldn't even make it to the state tournament.

Be happy with what you have. Support your kid and your school. Support the state in what they do for kids. Let the college coaches determine if your son is good enough for a spot on their team. Be a part of the solution instead of the guy no one will sit around in the stands. The next time you are watching an athletic event, look around and see if anyone is near you. If you are alone, you are the problem.
