If Kansas goes to one class it will all but kill wrestling in Kansas. Participation would drop dramatically. I wrestled every year for a chance to go to state. If they would have combined all the classes there is no way I would've gone to state. I would've quit because there would be no payoff. You do this and all you're going to be left with is the extremely dedicated wrestling in high school. No one else would even stand a chance or even care about it (it's kind of getting that way now). What do you want? Our sport to grow and have an impact on thousands upon thousands of kids lives or a chance to see everyone wrestle in one building. Post just seems kind of selfish to me. It's not always about getting Kansas All-Americans. It's the principles that wrestling gives you, that's what matters. Everyone. Should. Wrestle.
