The recent post about wrestlers moving to successful programs begs a question — What exactly is an unsuccessful program?

What defines a program as unsuccessful? Is it numbers? Regular season results? Regional and State results?

Wellsville, for example, is a program that has always struggled with numbers but, especially a few years ago, had great success at the Regional and State level with whatever kids they had. Are they a successful program or not?

Is it about guys in the room or points at State? I'd be interested in hearing opinions on this.
