WIN’s Updated NCAA Division I TPI and Rankings (sans Ivy League)
Photo: Yianni Diakomihalis (celebrating with his Cornell coaches) won NCAA titles in 2018 and ’19 before taking an Olympic redshirt last winter. The Big Red junior, like his Cornell teammates and other Ivy League wrestlers, must now wait until 2021-22 to compete in college after the Ivy League announced it was cancelling its winter sports seasons.
On Nov. 12, the Ivy League announced that it was cancelling its winter sports season, which includes six schools that compete in wrestling: Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Penn and Princeton.
The following is an update to WIN’s preseason Tournament Power Index (TPI) and individual rankings in the ten weight classes without those wrestlers.
