I'm just going to use track as an example.
To reach the championship meet, you have to meet certain qualifying standards during the regular season. This leaves a major part of the team behind for the championships, in most cases.
The elite individuals from a team compete at the final championship. Each event winner is awarded a medal, the top 8 are declared first team all-Americans, the second 8 are second team all-Americans.
Team team points are awarded differently, depending upon the size of the meet.
At the championship, a team champion is declared, based on the performance of the few individuals that qualified, and just a few individuals can win the championship. In 2016, Florida's men won with 62 points. That's like having just over 6 champions, out of 21 events.
To me, they are pretty similar. So, if I'm the track and field guys, and I see this wrestling proposal, why am I not thinking about a way to have a head to head championship between, say, the top two teams from the championship. It would be a way to showcase what might actually be pretty good events for the top teams and it would show team depth.
