Jordan Burroughs: Here are several recommendations to make wrestling's best event better
May 08, 2015

 

I was in attendance for this year's NCAA Championships as an assistant coach for the University of Nebraska, but also just as a fan of the sport of wrestling.

During every session, you could hear the piercing voice of Sandy Stevens, friendly and familiar, announcing the total attendance and declaring that the numbers were record breaking. There were 18,000 plus fans there at each session, hoping to see their son, grandson, nephew, boyfriend, friend or representative of their favorite school fight through the battlefield of college wrestlers, win five matches and be crowned as an NCAA champion.

Fans came to St. Louis excited, and when they walked away from the Scottrade Center on Saturday night, the buzz should have stuck with them. From a disgruntled fan's perspective, here are a few things I noticed that I wanted to point out to readers and wrestling fans. Did you see these things as well?
