In my opinion this is the worst schedule they could create. We as wrestling fans need to work hand in hand with football and vice versa. Both sports develop some of the same physical skills. From a wrestling point of view, the numbers involved with football serve as a great place to fill wrestling rooms/teams. If your school is having trouble filling a full wrestling squad I suggest the first place you look is the relationship between these two sports. Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but I wonder if in the case above, if the reason for the weird season schedule wasn't to show wrestling as not a viable sport? We already have at least three different middle school wrestling seasons in this state, now we need another one? I would be curious as to anyone's reasoning as to why to not go with a more traditional season for wrestling. It wouldn't possibly be to protect that other winter sport?
