I'm not a fan of the Duals because they are not fun to watch and they don't provide needed early-season competition.
I was a huge fan of the Okie State dual in Kinnick, because it promoted the sport of wrestling AND accomplished the other goals.
We need to be focused on winning NCAAs. You get better by wrestling better competition. Save the feel-good philanthropy for the off-season.
Sorry, that opinion isn't going to be popular, but I gotta say it.
