I think this would be a travesty if we were being bumped for another sport (ie a basketball regional), but this is a tremendous opportunity for Fort Hays State Wrestling and the wrestling community as a whole. What a great weekend to be in Hays.

I understand that it creates more of a hardship, on the weight cutting aspect. I might have a different perspective if I were still coaching, but from a fan's view, this is pretty cool. I also see it as a great opportunity to promote our high school athletes. With coaches in town for atleast a portion of our state tournament, our kansas kids (especially the 321 A kids) will be able to showcase their talents.

Administratively, I think it would have been a nightmare to change venues.
