Rule Change Proposal

Sold! I like'em all.
Can't wait to see how the new leg pass rule gets enforced and how offensive wrestlers figure out how to turn stalemates into takedowns/backpoints when their opponents dive for the legs.
No issue with the facial hair / head gear rules either. These are already the norm in freestyle / greco so why not folkstyle? Those who care about their ears will still wear headgear and those who don't, won't. Knew many wrestlers who didn't wear their headgear in practices anyway and that's where most of the harm is done.

The final weight loss deadline rule change, could help Oklahoma State. Remember, they don't wrestle in a first class conference, so allocations can be achieved pretty easily, by just about any of their wrestlers, with an end of season weight pull. They already lead the nation in weight pulling, so this might actually help them so they all don't fade in Mid March, per usual.
Does anyone know how widespread the weight management rules are abused? How about any instances where they know the wrestler was 'caught' and punished? Usually you put more teeth into rules that are being abused.
