Why don't we look for a minute at how many schools in Kansas actually have wrestling. It's less than 200, with two classes of 32. That's vastly too small. I believe (and this may be off a bit) it's something like 32 in 6A and 5A, 64 in 4A and the remaining 72 in 3-2-1A.
And while I use Iowa as an example a lot (sue me, I grew up there), they have 64 teams in 3A, 96 in 2A and over 130 in 1A. So what we have is 300 teams in three classes (Iowa) as opposed to 168 in four classes (Kansas).
Maybe at some point we need to look at this. Every year some 3-2-1A schools drop wrestling due to lack of numbers. For the competitive sake of the sport, maybe we need to start looking at three classes in Kansas(48 in Division I, 64 in Division II and the remainder in Division III). I'm not advocating going out next week and doing this, however it's day may be coming. It may be time we start looking into tightening up the talent pool.
We always have to remember that sometimes change is good and that sometimes change is necessary. In the long run, this change would be good and sometime in future, it might be necessary. Not just yet, but someday.
