    Not looking forward to state.

    Yum center and Rupp arena are not part of the Universities. They are private enterprise. Diddle is part of WKU.

    Not looking forward to state.

    I wonder if there would be a Title IX issue with having girls as 16 bracket and boys at 32 bracket now that both are sanctioned. Probably could for the first few years use the participation level % to get around it but it could be an issue. Im also wondering what the Horse Park charge is now to put down that floor, I know what it was the last year there.

    Sometimes I know what I am talking about, sometimes.

    I would bet for the weekend rental was $20K ish, maybe a tad less with it being back to back days.

    Just one thing to keep in mine is that they did youth in 3 sessions I believe. Everyone wasn't there all at the same time. Comparing 448 HS Wrestlers to 1300 youth isnt the same comparison. Now operations wise the way things were done maybe there is some comparison.

    If you were to host at YUM or Rupp 80 to 100 a day would be probably what the pass would have to be. Remember 15K plus wont be there to pack the place that can help keep the cost down. Reminder the horse park at max capacity was under 6000 people.

    For paid attendance events most do not / can not due to risk management policies. Now can they discount yes they can charge whatever they want, but most have a minimum.

    I know exactly what they pay, but they also have a sponsor that offsets those cost of the arena.

    Freedom hall is out its already contracted out for the days of state tournament. Diddle is out as well due to WKU Basketball still playing. EKU and Memorial are about to be remodeled and are out for the the the next few years, but even though you would have basketball issues there. The rest I cant answer for but someone call the AD's office and ask what it cost to rent the place. Id say its minimum $10k to 15K a day.

    Yum Center $35K a day to rent Rupp Arena $30K a day to rent Diddle $20K a day to rent All three have basketball conflicts as well so It would be a juggling act. but trust me, cant happen at these three, cost way to much.

    The key issue is where, where is big enough.

    State Duals

    There are always teams out there that want to dodge competition, teams could always choose not to participate, next team up.

    State Duals

    Yep, like I said, be great if there was an extra week in the schedule to do it. I get why it would be hard in current schedule format.

    State Duals

    Its a shame there is not another week in the schedule you could make this a 2 weekend event. Weekend 1 wrestle for division championships. Weekend 2, top 4 in each division wrestle in an overall championship. Just a thought
  17. I think its funny who the comment is "Scheduling a wrestling tournament during football season" and yet, see above.

    College coaches on the floor at state.

    You know better, unless one of the college coaches offers up a free arena for the tournament they wont get a thing.

    KY/USA Freestyle and Greco States

    I have an idea to help this along. 1. You need 6-8 dedicated coaches to lead this up. 2. You need 4 dates (3 Regional dates, 1 state date) 3. You have 3 regional FR/GR mini camps that the end of the camp is a mini tournament, no awards or anything, but a test run. (like one person posted, his kids were hesitant, give them a place to do a trial run) - Maybe charge 20 bucks or something small. Examples: Etown, Lexington, NKY (move them around how you need too. 4. Then you have the state tournament, awards the whole shebang.

    Memorable banquet awards

    We always did a best practice partner award. We also had a group of awards we let the wrestlers vote on and took that under consideration.
