The 1st thing I would say is talk directly to Joe. He is and always has been a straight shooter. Since I'm not in D1 anymore I can't speak to how or what happened directly.
As for kids entering into a different qualifying tournament I don't see that as an issue. The by laws prevent a wrestler from entering in more than one and unless they change their club affiliation they have to wrestle with their chartered club. If there are kids already doing it I feel fairly confident in saying that if it was reported to the District director, Mark, Matt or Mike it would be handled appropriately.
I have made it no secret that I believe a small group is making decisions for the majority but until the majority shows up at the state body meeting willing to make a decsion that is what will continue to happen. That has been the problem for the past couple years, not enough show up and many don't want to make a decsion which then forces the small group to make one.
We can't just continue to argue about it on here, we have to show up in force and be willing to talk about it, make compromises and then a decsion.
