Flynn took over a nothing program and already has them equal to if not better than Pitt. Amazing job by him.

Tim is a great coach with a history of getting the most out of what he is given so it is not surprising to see what he is building at WVU with more support.

It is a real shame what happened to Edinboro.

I think most, if not all, of the small D1 PA schools suffer in this modern money era of college wrestling/sports. Schools like Edinboro and Clarion will never have the resources to compete with the big schools.

They are forced to either develop at a high level or take guys transferring down from the big money schools that are buried on depth charts like Ryan Michaels.

Its sad because of the rich history of successful wrestlers those programs have, but they'll never see that success again unfortunately

They need a lot of outside (alumni and booster) support to compete in the modern landscape. It also doesn't help that those schools are struggling financially and to attract students.

What worries me is how much longer schools of that size continue to compete at the D1 level.

Similar to Pitt on different scale competing with the top 5-10 programs…PSU, Ohio St, Ok State, Iowa etc.
