Historic Wrestling Comparison - Cowboys, Hawks, Lions

[CowboyTanker]

I was thinking about a challenge for the next decade or so for the three dominant wrestling programs...

40 before 30 or 20

This translates to: can we get to 40 Championships before Iowa gets to 30 or Penn State gets to 20?

I started this comparison (linked below) between Oklahoma State and Iowa in 2006 and forgot about it. With the new challenge of 40 before 30 or 20, I decided to update it.

It's hard to find some information such as: how many individual All-Americans make up total All-Americans. OSU has it spelled out clearly, but I didn't find it easily with the other two.

Please let me know of any errors you find that need correcting.

So much of our championship history is before freshmen were eligible.....just think of our numbers had they been!

Outstanding research. Very interesting. Thank you for compiling!

@CowboyTanker you are right and I’ve actually never thought about it.

I think we should take a deeper look at all those years we didn’t win it, then claim those titles in lieu of ignorance and oppression of the ignorant and oppressive NCAA.

Tanker can we add Olympic Medals, World Championships, and maybe even UFC champions to the comparison please?? I love this stuff. Pure facts.

Can we do this starting when modern wrestling was invented in 2009? 😇

Some impressive stats in there. I don't think either Iowa or PSU catches OSU in championships.

🤣 Penn State on a historic run currently. In fifteen'ish years they vaulted into a firm grip on 3rd best program all-time.

As I said in the name update thread:

OSU; Come for Our Past, Stay for Our Future
Iowa; 2035 is in Sight
PSU; 2047 is Not That Far Off

Great stats! The # that sticks out to me the most is just 3 losing seasons. I wonder if any team with that long of history can top that across any NCAA sport.
