Division one wrestling is a whole new beast...2-3 workouts a day with classes and the worst kid is probably a top 5 state kid. It's just a major grind and time sink. A lot of the kids that go an fizzle shouldn't have gone D1 in the first place.
Its a reason I chose to go to a d2 school instead of walking at Purdue or IU I could have done that but knew I didn't want to spend 95 percent of my time wrestling or doing academics. Yeah I got a little money to go to Findlay but I still came out owing more than if I went to IU or Purdue so money was def not a key.
Which is another reason some kids wanna go do "the college thing" (parties, etc) in all honesty you can't do that be competitive. at that level.
I personally would like to see more of our kid tier kids go to a d2 or D3 Indiana school. There is no reason we can't have 3 or 4 national championship calibur teams in the lower divisions.
That is one reason Notre Dame college in Ohio is so successful in the D2 tourney they get the kids who are on the bubble for OSU and get them to go D2 and be on a stacked team there.
Just make thoughts and 2 cents I know I kinda rambled but I just put a door in by myself and am a little exhausted lol
