Wrestling with the big boys: Coming up a bit short

The National Wrestling Coaches Association helps to promote wrestling, including recognizing individual programs and their own promotional efforts. Rutgers was among 16 schools nominated for Best in Brand for its highlight reel. But round one was as far as the Knights got.

Ya wanna be considered powerful? Have some juice? Power?

You have to show that your fans care and have your back.

And the word was out.

But we came up a little short....to the Mavericks of Minnesota State. (I really wanted them to be the Screaming Eagles)

It was the National Wrestling Coaches Association's Best of Brand voting for Highlight Reel.
