Sure it was to help the wrestlers and the team going forward. This institution has done a tremendous job with their wrestling squad. They got their shit together and will make waves nationally.
I think it is a good idea to rotate the event, each school getting the experience every 10 years or so. Helps the sport get the attention it needs indifferent areas of tje conference.
Northwestern got bit. Transfer portal. The rich get richer. Took all hammers and no compensation for them. An under funded squad. Bye bye. Probably first big ten school to drop wrestling. Thanks Michigan.
