Some excellent points made on this topic. I agree with Bigknee that the other 321A regionals (besides Norton) are basically a joke. However if you were to have the schools vote and see if they want to mix the regionals up 3 of 4 would vote to keep it the way it is (all schools not in the NW regional voting to keep it). These schools don't want Hoxie, Norton, St. Francis, Oberlin, Oakley etc. coming to their regional because they know it would cost them wrestlers at state. Also as was pointed out Nigels reasoning is flawed. Every coach would like to get as many wrestlers to state as possible and going to a weak regional certainly increases the odds. To win you need quality but also quantity.
