As of the 2019 timeframe

Psu's rtc was reporting roughly a 6 million dollar advantage. At that time pre-nil, I used buying world team training partners as a comparable example for investment. With 6 Olympic weights, you could buy the Olympic team as purely training partners at $100K per wrestler for a full decade. Ad they did for a minute with Snyder and Gilman. Realistically for VT to sniff a championship, the cael dynasty has to fail and there needs to be a heckuva lot more parity in the top 10. Okie st rebuilding is a start but programs like minnesota Pitt and Lehigh etc need to return to where they were. Guys like mark hall leaving his backyard for happy valley is gonna have to stop On our side well need about 4 finalists minimum with a stronger team behind them. Well have multiple weight classes where the backup could win AA off the bench (see Barr and beard at 197 for psu or iowas log jam at 174/184)

Question for the wrestling experts here, and I am certainly not one of them

That's not a realistic goal right now. Great to aspire to, but

Not quite 95%. ISU has won nine. OU has won 6, and I believe ASU, MSU and
