Thanks to women's sports, college wrestling teams are lucky to get 8. Alot of universities have dropped wrestling to reduce the number of male sports scholarships available.

I believe that the NCAA Div. 1 limit is 9.9 scholarships while the Div. 2 limit is 9.

NCAA/schools try to balance Title IX/women's sports with football's large rosters, wrestling has certainly been hurt as a result. I find it odd that complaints have not been made about women receiving more scholarships than men do in comparable sports - basketball, volleyball, baseball/softball, etc.

Frank Martellotti, currently starting as a true freshman, also walked on at Penn State rather than taking a scholarship from one of the several colleges pursuing him

I think it's TOTAL scholarships in ALL sports that have to match male vs female. Not just each sport individually. And, of course, football eats many of the male scholarships.

Schopp and Port into the quarters, they will wrestle each other in the semi's with a win....Sherlock and Pearsall are in the consolations.

Port returned the favor to his buddy from the BU Open, Port beats Schopp 7-5, Schopp wrestling for 3rd Port in finals, no PSU wrestler in sight at 133.
