Big 12 Championships

NCAA just released at large bids, none for the jacks

Jacks get screwed again this year. First it was Carlson last year and now vega this year. Disappointing.

Would have liked to see Vega and Carlson get in. How the heck does Minnesota get 4 at-large bids?

I haven't looked at it at all but wrestling in the Big 10 helps a lot in pretty much every criteria outside of essentially winning percentage for at large bids

Vega has wins over Lajoie, Cardinale, Schwarm, 1 to Moody and Disario, all who are 2020 qualifiers now. 3/5 are at large big 10 selections, something fishy going on....

What hurt Vega most was the rest of the tournaments “not going chalk.” There were huge upsets at 125 in pretty much every conference which didn’t help any. A lot of deserving 125#ers from around the country were waiting on at large bids, just sucks Vega was one who didn’t get one

I ran some numbers:

Teams by number of at large bids:

Minnesota: 4
Rutgers: 3
Wyoming: 3
Chattanooga: 2
Cornell: 2
Maryland: 2
Missouri: 2
Ohio: 2
Penn: 2
24 other teams: 1
45 other teams: 0
Big 12 conference combined: 6
The other 13 teams in the big ten combined: 9

Vega listed as an alternate for 125
