Well I agree that your view seems to be the one held by most - basically that things are going good so don't mess with it. But I think there are a couple of issues. The first is that if the NCAA did actually step in and disallow joint practices, that would effectively kill the golden goose. And the second is that while a lot of good is happening at the international level and at the wealthier D1 schools, wrestling is bigger than that. We don't know yet how the smaller D1 schools will be affected over the long term. If we should end up losing many more, I can't see how that would be good for HS wrestling or youth wrestling. And my suggestion regarding USA Wrestling was just one idea intended to address both of those issues by making a good thing even better.
That said, I do have to disagree with you on a couple of items. The first is that while capitalism is great, it's not a great model for sports. I'm a huge Yankees fan, so I know what it's like to root for the team with the most money. But there's a reason why the major sports have a luxury tax or salary cap. And there's a reason why the NCAA has scholarship limits. Unlike the business world, in sports you need an opponent across the field (or mat). No one wants to see wrestling turn into the Harlem Globetrotters.
The second item is about telling recruits there is no guarantee they will be "hired" by the RTC after graduation. Seems a little naive, no? I mean Daniel Kerkvliet basically decommitted from us because of that exact reason. It's not hard to see which schools have RTC $ to spare. Here are few things that are hard not to notice. Penn State has Olympic champ Jake Varner on staff - as their "volunteer" coach. In a normal world he would be leading his own college program, right? Iowa has post grad Alex Meyer as a senior athlete - for Greco. I mean good for him, but did he really show enough Greco skills in college to get "hired"? Ohio State signed Bo Jordan as an RTC coach - but he's only wrestled in 2 freestyle tournaments in his entire career. And again, good for him, but do you really think he'll be showing a lot of par terre technique? Aaron Brooks's dad summed it up when he posted on the Iowa board, today's recruits know where the RTC $ is.
