Westforkwhite Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Interestingly looking at Ohio in 1978 they had 919 schools with wrestling and over 32,000 wrestlers. IN 1979 it was...580 schools and 20,000 wrestlers. That is quite a dropoff. I don't think even the most staunch of single class guys would argue that class wrestling caused this dropoff. There is a lot of other things going on from a societal perspective. I wonder if consolidation played a factor? I know OH hasn't gone as consolidation crazy as we did in the 60's and 70's, but maybe that plays a role?

grecoref Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I would suspect those numbers are not correct. No way we lost 340 programs in one year. backtothemat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
