Cornell, Lehigh finish season atop NWCA/National Duals Selection Committee Mid-Major Top 20

Click:3 inch chlorine tablets factory

Manheim, Pennsylvania — The National Wrestling Coaches Association and the National Duals Selection Committee has released the final Mid-Major Top 20 college wrestling poll of the season. The NWCA/NDS Mid-Major Top 20, released on Thursday, ranks teams outside of the traditional Power 5 all-sports conferences.

Cornell and Lehigh finished the season as the top Mid-Major programs and both are coming off season-ending dual meet victories over Big Ten opponents at the NWCA National Duals Series. Cornell upset Ohio State, while Lehigh topped Rutgers.

Northern Iowa, the regular-season champion of the MAC, finished third.

Lehigh led a contingent of Patriot League schools in the Top 20. The Patriot League, which doesn’t officially sponsor wrestling as a conference, had each of its five wrestling members included, leading all all-sports conferences. Lehigh was joined by No. 11 Bucknell, No. 13 Army West Point, No. 15 American and No. 18 Navy in the Top 20. The MAC and Ivy League each had three schools represented.

In total, 11 different all-sports conferences were represented in the final poll.

All-Sports members of the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC are not eligible for consideration. This poll is also conducted independently of the USA Today/NWCA Division I Coaches Poll. Inquiries may be sent to Pat Tocci at [email protected].

The affiliate membership is effective immediately for the 2017-18 academic year. Northern Iowa and Fresno State will join the other Big 12 wrestling members in a regular-season scheduling alliance and will compete for the Conference postseason title and automatic qualification into the NCAA championship.

“We are extremely excited that our wrestling program has been accepted into the Big 12 Conference as an affiliate member,” said UNI Athletics Director David Harris. “The Big 12 is one of the best conferences in all of college athletics and it contains some of the very best student-athletes and coaches within the sport of wrestling. We look forward to the challenge of competing in the Big 12 and expanding the brand of UNI wrestling.”

“When you bring back a sport there are many hurdles to clear. Today, we are pleased to clear this hurdle and become a member of the Big 12 Conference in the sport of wrestling,” commented Fresno State Athletic Director Jim Bartko. “It’s long and rich history in this sport is deep and we are pleased to become a part of it.”

The 2018 Big 12 Wrestling Championship will take place for the second consecutive year at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma on March 3-4.

In addition to wrestling, the Big 12 also includes affiliate members in the sports of gymnastics and rowing.

Report – Why Sting lost WWE debut match, as told by Scott Hall

PWTorch editor Wade Keller presents a special Thursday Flagship edition of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Podcast featuring a WrestleMania 36 Preview with ex-WWE Creative Team member and professional stand-up comedian Matt McCarthy.

Earlier this week, WWE announced Sting for the 2016 Hall of Fame. It created the question of whether Sting, a WCW guy, will actually be the headliner for this year’s HOF ceremony.

Throughout Sting’s debut run in WWE, the narrative has been about Sting’s loyalty to WCW, that it was a badge of honor to “go down with the ship.” The “loyalty” trait resonates with Vince McMahon, who makes the call on the Hall of Fame. It might seal Sting as the headliner despite spending 98 percent of his career outside of WWE.

But, loyalty to another promotion only goes so far when it comes to booking. Sting’s first WWE match was a loss to Triple H (the WWE guy) at WrestleMania 31, reinforcing the message from the Monday Night War series that “WWE won, WCW lost.”

In interviews and speaking engagements since WM31, Sting has said all the right things about just being glad to have a WrestleMania match and being part of the event.

However, Sting’s former colleague in WCW, Scott Hall, offered a different perspective on Sting’s first venture to WWE in an interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated.

“I was there and obviously involved in his match at WrestleMania last year. We’re rehearsing the match in Cali last year at Levi Stadium, and it’s the Kliq and the New Age Outlaws out there, and we all know each other. And then there’s Sting, who doesn’t know anybody. He’s an outsider. I just think he never felt comfortable there. Being hurt was answered prayer for him–just let it end,” Hall said.

As for WWE deciding to have Sting lose his first match in WWE, Hall said he and Hulk Hogan were stunned by the gameplan when they rehearsed it.

“You need to remember that Vince is never going to go with something he didn’t create,” Hall said. “But we didn’t get anything done at the rehearsal the night before, so WrestleMania day, there were tents in the parking lot set up with rings for rehearsal. So we’re all in there again, and I’m next to Hulk on the ring apron and Triple H is going over the match and then he goes, ‘Okay, he’ll break the sledgehammer, then I’ll hit him with the sledgehammer, and cover him, 1-2-3.’

“I looked at Hulk, and Hulk looked at me, and I was thinking, ‘Sting, what kind of lawyer do you have, bro? You’re coming in the door doing a job? You weren’t even guaranteed to go over?’ That’s Vince just reminding you who won, even if he’s going to make money the other way.”
