are probably the candidates that are the best combination of good and feasible partners.

I'd love to think we could grab some of the EIWA, either a few of the top programs or all of the Ivies...but what do we really have to offer that they don't already have?

Mizzou would certainly be intriguing. You've also got the "real" Big 12 programs, Ok St., Oklahoma, Iowa St., and WVU...yeah, there is "Big 12 wrestling," but only courtesy of a bunch of affiliate members. Our six plus those 5 would be a formidable joint-venture league, but obviously a bit of a geographic mess (although the B1G gets by just fine with 14 programs stretched halfway across the country). I'd also fear the negative impact that sort of move might have on those kinda "mid-major" Big 12 affiliates...I'd hate to see some important programs harmed in a sport that's already kinda short on number of programs.
