Pac 12 "announces series of steps to bolster wrestling membership"
Great news and overdue. Full release is below but here's a highlight:
"To support the growth of Pac-12 wrestling, the Conference recently adjusted some of its wrestling policies, including the following:
-The Conference eliminated a restriction that capped the number of wrestling affiliates to the minimum number needed to keep NCAA AQ status.
-The Conference approved a policy change that will allow affiliate members to host the conference championships in future years.
-The Conference approved the hiring of an officials assigner for conference matches and the conference championships, starting with the 2021-22 academic year.
-The Conference will establish a wrestling schedule rotation so as to evenly balance home and away matches during the conference season."
Couple of these surprised me that they weren't already in place. Establishing a balanced schedule rotation? It's currently a 6 team conference like the ACC. Six home, six away. What the heck were they doing? I admittedly did not know that they had a cap on # of teams.
One thing that's understandably not mentioned in here but needs to be done: invite Fresno State.
