The Ultimate Background Check - Jan 23, 2008 | 14:17:36
posted by: Josh
If you're not a fan of close talkers, you definitely wouldn't have enjoyed competing at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Collegiate Wrestling Invitational a couple of months ago. Bad breath and the occasional flying spittle would have been the least of your worries. The NCAA Wrestling Committee has decided to disallow results from the Invitational for use in NCAA championship selections this winter, because the tournament failed to properly conduct required medical examinations. Wrestling rules require all participants be checked by a physician or certified athletic trainer for "communicable skin diseases" prior to competition. That didn't happen in Vegas. While there were no reported outbreaks at the Invitational, committee members say it's unacceptable not to conduct the checks. That seems to make sense - how else can we protect wrestling student-athletes?

It means that two very good teams with very good coaches made it to the final game.
