Vince,
... The Big 3 auto makers took a very long time to wake up and realize that failing to change and improve would cost them. Who is the largest auto maker in the world now? Toyota! The Big Three took your approach. "We are okay so lets not try to change anything." and look where it got them. ...
Will,
I can't quite leave it on that note. No change and status quo is not my approach. I have been an advocate of some change at the youth, high school, and college level for several years. You know I have been outspoken on it. I am just not necessarily for all the changes you are advocating although I agree with some of them that you advocating. Just because a person is not supportive of all the changes that you want does not mean that the other person is anti-change or for the status quo.
I am sure you are not for some of the changes I would want. I would like to see high school weight classes change to something like 106, 114, 122, 128, 134, 140, 146, 154, 162, 172, 185, 200, 225 and 275. If international is only around 264 at the top, I think we can lower the topside back down to 275. I am guessing you would not be an advocate for those proposed weight class changes but it would increase competition for the lower and middle weights at regionals and state which is something you seem to desire. When you spread the weight classes you definitely bring more quality competitors into your weight class.
