Where is Salyer when we need him eh? D-1 is not the end all be all here. As far as "big time wrestling college programs" a LOT of great kids can get wrestling scholarships from D-less colleges AND complete their education. Just because a kid doesn't go D-1 does not mean they aren't exceptional. There IS life beyond wrestling. Funny thing is you are trying to blame an entire lot of kids not going D-1 because YOU think that is where they WANT to go.
