Either way it's technically a title right? It's also national right? I'm as dumb as a box of rocks when it comes to wrestling.
Some of you wrestling afficionados correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that it is a national title. And it's a big deal. And it's prestigious. It is not recognized by the NCAA as a national championship. It is recognized as a national championship or title by the larger world of wrestling. I also believe 5th or someone said that there is a move towards the format of the National Duals to determine the NCAA national championship.
In my mind, the national duals make more sense when determining a team title. The tourney as it is now makes sense for determining national champions.

There have been rumblings in the wrestling community about switching the current NCAA format, but nothing yet. To put this in basketball terms (loosely), this is basically like winning the NIT/making the Final Four. It is truly the best indicator of team strength, as every person has to contribute. Even if you have no shot at winning, you can help the team by limiting the damage.
Watch the MAC tourney March 7-8th at the Hearnes or the NCAA's in STL as we go for the sweep!
PS. We did it in front of 15,000 Iowa fans in their building.
