In looking up the scuffle results I read the write up for the event that was posted on the NCAA website. The write up was a PSU testimonial and gave them great spin(easy to do when you crown 6) http://www.ncaa.com/news/wrestling/...n-state-claims-six-champions-en-route-seventh

Then I clicked on the link for Midlands http://www.ncaa.com/news/wrestling/...ling-iowa-crowns-program-record-five-midlands
Well written and accurate but not the spin job that PSU put out. Theirs was written by PSU, the Midlands piece was written by KJ, the piece was fine, KJ does a good job but with the resources at the University could they do more to talk about the performance? The pins, tech falls, the unattached results? More of a positive approach. I realize that it is Iowa wrestling show up, dominate, go home but the arms race involves a lot of pieces and we may be losing this small part.

The NCAA picked up the Scuffle story from the PSU website and the Iowa story from the CR Gazette. Nothing to do with the AD. Here's the Iowa AD story: http://hawkeyesports.com/news/2017/...-five-champions-wins-midlands-team-title.aspx

In reading that story I would still lean towards the PSU version. It sells the program better. I know, waaaay down the priority list but any sizzle helps sell the program.
