I actually think this pic was from when Mark and I sat in the corner for an Illinois wrestler who didn’t have a coach. I learned a lot from Mark. He literally did more for me than he knows. RIP, Coach. Wrestling will not be the same going forward.

Is it really due to low participation numbers? Or is it a money thing? These athletes have earned the right to compete by attending classes and going to practice and being a member. It is your job to make sure these opportunities are available to them.
Due to low participation numbers among member schools, NCAA Division III winter championships are canceled for the 2020-21 academic year:

No better staff to celebrate with.
Waverly-Shell Rock has clinched the Class 3A state championship. SEP is having a strong morning, but their max has dropped below the Go-Hawks’ current total.
That’s back-to-back team titles for W-SR, and their seventh overall. Another unreal tournament showing from them.

Don't blame anyone for using the 6th or 7th year that was made available to them (and soon to be 5 years of post season) but how does the NCAA look at this and the kids who graduated in 2020 and say, "Yep, we got this one right."?

Wrestling Twitter:
Post all your offers and pics with coaches who visit and its ok if you're "humbled and blessed."
Also Wrestling Twitter:
Don't celebrate winning a national team title.
Lesson:
As long as you're "humbled and blessed" you can post anything.

“We have to let them make their own decisions and way in life” is the biggest cop out of parenting. “I can’t make them do anything they don’t want to.” Yes you can. Stop relying on other people to teach hard lessons because if you don’t the REAL WORLD will.
