Re: Edinboro, Grand Valley to play in 2019, 2020 and 2021
Lock Haven is now the class of the EWL. Just as long as Edinboro the university stays solvent I do not see the point in dropping down to D2. Wrestling is not football where you save 20 scholarships by being FCS or 50 scholarships by being D2, you save 1 scholarship (not even as it is .9) by being D2 in wrestling. The day to day expenses are the same for travel, overhead, etc. so the total savings will be that .9 scholarship money and may $10-15,000 savings on a coach. Now if it is about competing for a national title, yes that would be easier in D2, but they are not long from being #3 in D1. I would take being top 5 in D1 over being #1 in D2 any day, but YMMV.
