Rogotzke replaces Khosravy at 97kg Greco, U23 Worlds start Monday
The Rogotzke-for-Khosravy swap is at 97kg on the USA Greco team, Justin Basch reports, with Ohio State's Ryder Rogotzke taking the spot. Basch calls it another last-minute change-up with U23 Worlds kicking off Monday in Las Vegas, live on Flo. Nobody has said why Khosravy is out.
Why it matters: A US Greco weight gets a new name days before the U23 World Championships.
- U23 Worlds begin Monday in Las Vegas on Flo
What they're arguing about
Oklahoma State Invite wrestle-offs will not be livestreamed
The Oklahoma State Invite, which Justin Basch says will allegedly serve as de facto wrestle-offs for the Cowboys, will not be livestreamed. Basch says it is not necessarily a bad move if you want to force Oklahoma State fans to get there in person. The Wrestling Nomad says the program did the same for a Cowboy RTC event.
This is for fans and donors, not the general public
Why it matters: Oklahoma State's starting lineup gets decided with no video for anyone outside Stillwater.
- Basch says he will discuss it more on Monday's show
