I didn't think last year's tournament at Duke was all that bad.
While Duke doesn't have that much wrestling support, it's still local for the other two Triangle schools. It wasn't as well-attended as the ones at NC State, but it wasn't much worse than the UNC one. That said, I was surprised they hosted since they usually skip "their turn". I just looked it up and the last time Duke hosted an ACC wrestling tournament before 2025 was all the way back in 1998.
I assume Pitt will take their turn next year, though that may depend on when Stanford is slotted in for their first tournament hosting round. If it's at Pitt next year, I hope it's better than the 2020 edition -- which was right before COVID and ended with us finishing a disastrous 5th (UVA even out-scored us). That was a miserable flight home, though it was funny that the passengers on our American Eagle flight to RDU were basically us and the NCSU and UNC teams.
