What is the opinion on this over here?

I feel the NCAA lost my respect way they do things.
This happen in the quarters match at 157.
Was a scoring error.
Now the rules say that the review is for a judgement call not score.
This match should not have gone overtime.
Gutless chairman on the committee in my opinion.

3.11.2 Error by Timekeeper and/or Scorers. If there is an error on the part of the
timekeeper and/or scorers, the error shall be corrected and the referee will
inform the wrestlers, coaches and announcer of the correction. During a dual
meet, correction shall be made by the referee before the start of a subsequent
match. An error during the last match of a dual meet must be corrected before
the referee has signed the scorebook.
For a tournament, the correction shall be made by the referee and shall take
place before the contestants leave the mat area or the bout sheet leaves the
scorer's table. Any error not resolved by the referee shall be arbitrated by the
tournament committee.

This is on the score table, the referee, and the tournament committee. Not the coach.

As I read that rule it is not on the committee as there is no "error" to be arbitrated once the bout sheet is signed and turned in and the contestants have left the mat area. Discovering the error later cannot be corrected as I understand it.

I agree 100%

It was a totally correctable error made by the SCOREKEEPER! Also add the fact that the coach inquired about the score at the time but wasn't sure (understandable) and was told to sit down. In hindsight, he should have challenged though.

....this was NOT a judgment error...nor a rules interpretation error!...

...it was an error by the scorekeeper - an official of the tournament...

...it absolutely should have been corrected...and the winning wrestler should have won in regulation...

...there have been precedents for changing results in the past...

...when the tournament was held In the Meadowlands several wrestlers did not show up in time for their opening bouts...they were declared losers and the bouts forfeited...later it was determined the "no-shows" resulted from traffic tie-ups getting to the arena...and the bouts were wrestled at least an hour after their scheduled time!...

...the ONLY objective should be to reward the deserving winner...period...end of story...

Right on androcles agree with you 100%. Any error not resolved by the referee shall be arbitrated by the
tournament committee
The rule is written plain and simple......
This committee should feel very very shamfull..
They are there to do the right thing and they failed to have the courage to do it

...additionally, what a great opportunity for Cornell's coach...

...to exhibit true sportsmanship by at least offering the win to Kent State...

...hmmmm...
