It looks like Illinois held Carr out at 141 in yesterday's match. Were they resting him for Nick Lee or maybe setting up an excuse for why he won't go against Lee.
It seems Carr has the #1 ranking to lose and (maybe?) nothing to possibly gain by winning in terms of Big Ten seedings. Will or should it hurt him in seedings if he doesn't go? This is something conferences and the NCAA need to address more clearly and fully in the future.
It pertains to a lot of guys, including even Penn State obviously.
Will Shak wrestle? Will RBY be back in the lineup? Will Berge get some action?
