Life's not fair, and apparently, neither is the qualifying process for the NCAA Championships from the smaller conferences. With the Big 12 clammoring for more bids, smaller conferences are also wanting the NCAA to remove the cap to give them more bids to the nationals. Each year, quality wrestlers are sitting in the stands or back in their dorms and apartments wondering what else they had to do over the course of a season to get that wild card. Was it becaue of a bad weekend they're sitting home? Is their school in a transitional year? Here's some of the top wrestlers in 2005-06 that won't be heading to the Division I championships ... for one reason or another. |
