Will,

I think it would be great to have teams be able to go to the TOSHIBA KCI CLASSIC for the competition. As someone pointed out though the Johnson County Classic has been in existence a lot longer than the TOSHIBA KCI CLASSIC. I believe the coaches and schools are very happy with it and that includes the time of year that it is held. I really doubt they will change it but maybe you can convince them.

I think a Johnson County school should be allowed to opt out of it if they want to in any particular year. I think very few of them would choose to do that. I think it would also be okay for individuals to wrestle at the TOSHIBA KCI CLASSIC while maybe the rest of the team wrestled at the Johnson County Classic. I would have like to have seen how guys like Ryne, Parker, Taylor and some others could have done there this year or next.

I agree that Johnson County teams should schedule some more meets out of the Johnson County area. They could do that in the Kansas City area and it would not necessarily have to be this weekend. There are other good tournaments during the year they could wrestle at.
