What's this?

There have been 6 inductees per class over the last eight years

The two years where there weren't six inductees there were five.

You have to remember too that athletes must be out of school for 10 years in order to be eligible. The genesis for my original post was that the great wrestlers in the history of the program will start to become eligible soon. There's only been one wrestling inductee (Sean Gray) over the last eight years because most of our greats aren't eligible yet.

My thinking is wrestling inductees will occur more frequently because the success of the program from, say, 2013-19 when we placed in the top 11 at NCAAs each year, outweighed others on campus.
