I concur. it was really cool to have Graduated in the seventies if you were a wrestler. If you were truly a warrior of epic proportion, you could wrestle for Fritz at Kstate, and if you were just average or better you could wrestle at one of five jucos. there was also NAIA competition to be had at Hays. Now there are 4 Juco programs available, and Neuman added to the small college experience, but there are SO many more wrestlers vying for those oppurtunities from elsewhere that it is still a pretty tough draw if you are just average in Kansas. I remember that when you had a Juco tourney you would see Tonkawa, Ok. , Oscar Rose out of Okla. City, Mesa and Sterling out of Colorado, mcCook Ne. and JV teams from Air Force and School of Mines. With the exeption of MESA (now a 4 year school)and the latter teams, the others are gone, leaving all those potential spots to look elsewhere, like here in Kansas. I have frequently let myself in for considerable abuse from others for believing that the principal commitment of a Ks. Juco, (which is funded by resident county and state taxes) should be to the young men or women residing in those areas that pay the Much higher tax levies required to host a Juco, but it is a fact that Kansas is becoming a very positive state for its number of post-high school wrestling oppurtunities and we should all feel fortunate that those spots are available here, no matter who ends up filling them. I would add WSU to the "if only" list, as they have no Football program so would have a better time balancing their male/female scholarship balance dictate...
