One small devil's advocate counterpoint to the idea that a tech is now too easy:
Making techs and majors easier moves team scoring closer to representing actual difficulty of earning each type of win.
Pins have always been rightfully worth more team points than a tech. However, tech falls have always been much better indicators of the superior wrestler. Upsets by tech don't exist. Rematch victories by someone who previously got teched are very, very rare. However, pins can happen in a variety of circumstances and are not always earned by the season-long best wrestler.
What we saw in college was that tech falls were way up, but that a rematch could be a good match despite the first match having been a tech. This was not the case before.

Before, a team could have 3 dominant wins totalling only 9 or 10 points, while their opponent had 3 close wins but also got 9 points. Now, those dominant wins can rightfully be 12 or 13 points compared to the 9 for the close wins.
