Daton Fix’s NCAA Championship Loss Brings About Rule Amendment in the Sport

The evolution of the wrestling review process continues to be influenced by Oklahoma State.

In 2012 Jordan Oliver was looking to defend his NCAA title at 133 pounds. In what at the time was a very controversial and talked-about finish, Oliver seemed to have a late takedown that would’ve given him the match and his second NCAA title.

That takedown wasn’t called, and at the time there was no review process in place and no ability for coaches to challenge calls. Later a challenge and review process became a part of the sport, largely influenced by the last few seconds of this match.
