Here's the funny thing about D-I in Iowa: You go up and down the roster Iowa, Iowa State and Northern Iowa, and maybe HALF of the kids on those rosters are from Iowa. Might be less (I haven't run the numbers lately). But if you go to Upper Iowa, Wartburg, Simpson, Luther, Morningside or wherever, it's more like 95 percent are Iowa kids. If you figure 25 kids (average) per program, times 17 programs (other than the D-Is), and take 95 percent of that, you end up with 404 Iowa kids wrestling in-state at the college level right now. ..
What you are describing would be wonderful for Kansas wrestling. I would love to see Pittsburg, Newman, Emporia State, Washburn, and Fort Hays State in spirited duals and tournaments with lineups loaded with former Kansas high school wrestlers.
