I believe the changing nature of the sport at the youth and HS level bodes well for the Ivy League, and all high-academic schools. My observation over the last ten years has been that the best wrestlers are starting to come from wealthy families - who can afford the clubs, private lessons, nutritionists, strength coaches, travel, etc. that starts when the kids are 8 or 9 years old. I look at NJ, where the top kids are not only spending that kind of money, but are spending even more money going to schools like Delbarton, Bergen Catholic, and Blair for coaching and exposure. Most those kids' parents spent more money on their wrestling than it would have cost to send them to four years at a state college. For some of them it is the somewhat psychotic "daddy ball" driving them to make champions out of their kids, but a growing number of them are doing it specifically to set their kids up to get into an Ivy. They have the money for any college; they're looking for an edge for admittance.
