Not holding my breath but a lot of people would be thrilled. Those wrestlers were hung out to dry by ND in 1992.

You're certainly right about the football aspect. Just looking at the early Weis era: Ryan Harris was a standout wrestler, Trevor Laws was a high school wrestling state champ in Minnesota and John Sullivan was one in Connecticut.

All 14 Big Ten schools have wrestling. It's very strong in the ACC with Va Tech, NC State, UNC and Pitt all in the latest top ten. And the "aspirational peer" group continues to excel: Stanford won the PAC 12 title last year; Duke finished 22nd nationally two years ago; Army, Navy and Air Force all send multiple guys to nationals each year; Cornell is a national power and Princeton is in line for a top five finish this year.
