Johnson has pretty much acknowledged that he's going to WI to play football and probably will end up passing on wrestling. So I don't think NU wrestling has lost much on that front.
This guy, blueandgold, asks a question, then answers his own question in his initial post - incorrectly (Crookham's the best frosh?), and then after 20+ replies nobody calls him out on this?
Cornell has a couple loopholes they use. Princeton also allows for materially lower academic standards for wrestlers. A better comparison would be Columbia or Brown.
I see high school refs call stalemate when the top guy has legs in for an extended period. Is that the right call? I think of it as a form of riding, like a spiral ride or controlling the wrist - which would never be called a stalemate.
