I don't think any state is able to get all their studs on the mat. Kids have so much going on in the summer, the cost of some of these teams and tournaments are outrageous, and it is very hard to get full teams half the time. Kansas has traditionally done a very good job and everyone wants the best team on the mat, but every kid that does go, is getting amazing matches and invaluable mat time.

It costs some of these families over a $1,000 to do Cadet/Junior Duals and Fargo. With the big Million dollar payouts college give for scholarships and the lucrative contracts that wrestlers receive, it is a hard thing for some families to do it. I love wrestling and I believe it is worth it, but I understand the situations with some of these kids. I don't think it is the kids that are choosing to not participate most of the time.
