I don't know that Penn State will ever NOT be the king of wrestling

Penn State has won the last five championships with no end in sight. At least in softball, there have been two different national champions in the last two years and there are 5-6 teams that could win it this year, including Texas Tech that has had ZERO history of being able to compete at the highest level. They simply have had an infusion of oil money.
