Contrarian,

College weight tops out at 285 and the weight differential is even worse from that to the next lowest class which is only 197 in college. This is a 88 pound differential. I think college needs to change too to reflect a difference between the second highest and highest weight classes that would be closer to the international weight divisions of approximately 212 and 264 in their two heaviest weight classes. The NCWA college club division does have an additional weight class at 235.

I bumped up the Minnesota considering switching to 12 weight classes topic from about two years ago so you could see their rationale of potentially dropping to twelve weight classes. I believe one of our Kansas high school coaches also advocated a reduction in total weight classes a couple of years ago in a topic.
