Wrestling: How they compare

[Vapoke]

I like the efficiency numbers presented here. Wyoming even increased their budget last year or they would have been #1. Just need to get recruits/transfers into Laramie and Wyoming stays a top-10 team.

That’s impressive. I don’t think those numbers include private NIL dollars because Iowa, Penn State and Oklahoma State spend a lot more than that if athlete payouts are considered.

I read this chart as "these are the schools we can poach from with only a modest increase in cost"

I will ask MatSavant but those may include Rev Share numbers.

Where wrestling gets around a lot of this is with their Regional Training Centers. Those numbers are probably higher than listed

I didn’t read it that way (unless you’re alluding to Wyoming being vulnerable to having its athletes poached). The only schools that I read that list indicating we can poach from purely from a financial standpoint are Air Force and Little Rock. I read the chart as Wyoming getting the best ‘bang for its buck’ compared to other teams.

It will be tough to keep the Novak’s of the world that we develop here absent a lot of outside money to help.

Yes to the vulnerable part but basically anyone to the left and above you. If you're a program on the wrong side of the line, this chart lays out the schools who are filled with underpaid overperformers
