I don’t follow wrestling a ton, but I have seen numerous interviews with Coach Smith where he claims OU and Mizzou in the Big XII for wrestling is a good thing. Why exactly is that the case? Why keep them in a conference they didn’t want to be in? I’m not a big fan of even playing in the schools that left in non conference matchups but understand it has to happen some. Seems like OSU and Iowa State threw those two a lifeline when I highly doubt the same would have been reciprocated if it was us leaving for the SEC.
