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.

You know, I was thinking the NIT analogy as well. But I was thinking of it in terms of when the NCAA tournament NIT tournaments first started. Eventually the NCAA tournament became the gold standard for determining the national championship but it wasn't always that way. But at the time, there were 2 different tournaments run, each done a little differently.
