Two words: Penn State

In this year's wrestling championships, 7 of the 10 top seeds were from Penn State. Let that soak in. Penn State has won 13 of the last 15 championships, by huge margins. Here are the last five. 2022: PSU 131.5, runner-up 95 (+36.5) 2023: PSU 137.5, runner-up 82.5 (+55) 2024: PSU 172.5, runner-up 72.5 (+100) 2025: PSU 177, runner-up 117 (+60) 2026: PSU 181.5, runner-up 131 (+50.5) In the last few years, Penn State racks up enormous bonus points in the early rounds, because their #1 seeds destroy #32/33 seeds in the first round and #17 seeds in the second round. By the time the final round rolls around on the last day, Penn State has already locked up the team championship. They could lose every final match (which of course they don't) and still win as a team. No one else is winning a natty in wrestling any time soon. ** Edited by Will Stewart at 4/1/2026, 9:43:37 AM

There's no "Value" generated by the AD office. There's only a "Void".
