Would it make sense for NCAA to add a...

215 or 220 weight class?

Yes.

Adding a weight would be nice but the health of the sport would be best served if they can get more colleges to field a wrestling team.

It would probably also help to move the weights up again. Most teams struggle to find an 18 year old college student who can make 125lbs consistently.

215 or 220 weight class?

Would it make sense in a perfect world, yes but the sport is trending in the wrong way and additional cost and people would further hurt the sport.

I'm just glad Title IX didn't F Pitt wrestling like it did at many schools ten years ago.

Not really. There are too few upper weight guys now to fill rosters. The good ones are playing football.
