Episode 56 of The Mat Stats Show wraps up the three-part deep dive into the three-point takedown rule with Glenn Gormley, Kevin Hazard and Jason Bryant taking the research down to the round-by-round and weight-by-weight level. Using six NCAA Division I Championships worth of data before and after the rule change, the crew looks at how scoring changes as the tournament progresses, why early rounds heavily influence the numbers, and what the data says about parity across the bracket. One consistent trend: as the rounds advance, scoring, margin of victory, majors, techs and pins all decrease as the competition tightens.  Episode 56 Slideshow: https://www.mattalkonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/sildeshow56.pdf  The show also dives into how different weight classes compare statistically. Some long-held wrestling stereotypes take a hit, including the old “heavyweight is always 1-0 or a pin” mentality. The numbers actually show a moderate positive correlation between weight and margin of victory, along with more majors and tech falls in the upper weights than many fans might expect. The group also gets into statistical anomalies, including why 125 pounds was the only weight class to see a scoring decrease after the three-point takedown rule went into effect and whether individual wrestlers can skew the numbers over time.  Outside the takedown discussion, the episode touches on the continued growth of college wrestling programs, recognition for longtime wrestling contributors Steve Cole and Nate Naasz, and a broader conversation about the NCAA's proposed eligibility model changes and how sport-specific structures — especially in wrestling and hockey — could be affected. Episode 56 closes the book on the three-point takedown series, but leaves plenty of future rabbit holes open as more years of data continue to build on the trends Mat Stats has uncovered.About Mat Stats Welcome to the NWCA's latest venture to help our favorite sport.

 In Episode 55 of The MatStats Show, hosts Glenn Gormley, Jason Bryant, and Kevin Hazard continue their "Moneyball" deep dive into the impact of the 3-point takedown rule. Analyzing over 3,300 matches from the 2021–2026 NCAA Championships, the team investigates whether the recent rise in total points is a result of increased action or merely "scoring inflation".  The data reveals a staggering 228% increase in technical falls, prompting Gormley to suggest that bonus-point thresholds have been "cheapened".The hosts propose modernizing the sport by raising the Major Decision margin to 10 points and Technical Falls to 18 or 20 points. This adjustment aims to restore the historical value of dominance in an era where takedowns now account for 59% of all scoring.The episode also features a "College Business Update," highlighting the financial pressures of Revenue Sharing and massive NIL budgets. With top basketball NIL budgets now estimated at $20 million per year, the crew discusses how these external shifts may eventually force Men's Basketball to seek a larger share of NCAA revenues. Slideshow for Episode 55: https://www.mattalkonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/slideshow55.pdfAbout Mat Stats Welcome to the NWCA's latest venture to help our favorite sport.

Episode 54 of The Mat Stats Show gets back into the speakeasy with Jason Bryant shaking off 25 days, seven countries, two continental championships, 66 medal ceremonies and whatever number of anthems came through Kyrgyzstan and the Balkans. Jason, Kevin Hazard and Glenn Gormley start with a quick look at April in wrestling, including the U.S. Open, high schoolers making noise at the senior level and the fact that wrestling no longer just disappears after the NCAA Division I Championships. The main topic kicks off a three-part Mat Stats series on the three-point takedown rule. Glenn breaks down six years of NCAA Division I Championship data — 2021-23 under the two-point takedown and 2024-26 under the three-point takedown — with 3,659 matches analyzed. The first takeaway: takedowns per minute are down 7.18 percent since the rule change. Scoring moves overall are also down, while stalling and penalties were the only scoring category to increase. That doesn't automatically mean the rule change is good or bad, but it does give the crew plenty to dig into. Takedowns now account for nearly 59 percent of all points scored, and takedowns plus escapes make up almost 83 percent of the scoring at the NCAA Championships. Episode 54 lays out the first batch of numbers before the next two shows get into margin of victory, majors, tech falls and what the three-point takedown may actually be doing to college wrestling. Slideshow for Epsiode 54: https://www.mattalkonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/slideshow54.pdfAbout Mat Stats Welcome to the NWCA's latest venture to help our favorite sport.

Episode 53 of The Mat Stats Show recaps the conclusion of the 2026 collegiate wrestling season across all major divisions, with hosts Jason Bryant, Glenn Gormley, and Kevin Hazard breaking down the numbers behind the NCAA, NAIA, and NCWA championships. The discussion opens with reflections on the NCAA Division I Championships in Cleveland, including Penn State's record-setting performance and Oklahoma State becoming the first program to crown three freshman champions in the same tournament. The hosts also highlight the postseason landscape across divisions, emphasizing the continued dominance of programs such as Wartburg in Division III and Grand View in the NAIA. The show's statistical focus examines participation, championships, and competitive balance across the sport. Across the six NCAA and NAIA championships alone, 339 teams representing 46 states, Washington, D.C., and British Columbia qualified wrestlers, producing 41 teams with national champions and 186 programs with All-Americans. Combined participation across NCAA, NAIA, and NCWA levels now exceeds 750 collegiate teams, reinforcing the hosts' central argument that wrestling has become a truly national sport extending far beyond the traditional Division I spotlight. Additional analysis explores which programs and states produced the most success during the 2026 championship season. Iowa led all states in national champions and All-Americans across the NCAA and NAIA tournaments, while NAIA powerhouse Grand View scored the most combined team points across the six championships.The episode concludes by reinforcing the show's theme of “Root Locally, Support Nationally,” encouraging fans to recognize the full collegiate wrestling ecosystem—including Division II, Division III, NAIA, and emerging women's programs—as essential to the continued growth of the sport. Slideshow for Epsiode 53: https://www.mattalkonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/slideshow53.pdfAbout Mat Stats Welcome to the NWCA's latest venture to help our favorite sport.

Taylor had signed with Iowa State, but Cael Sanderson had a few week prior left Iowa State to take over at Penn State. At the time, Taylor didn't yet know where he was publicly going to go, although most assumed he would follow Sanderson to Penn State. This interview is from during Taylor's senior year in high school. Taylor recently finished with a bronze medal at the non-Olympic world championships in Tirana, Albania, which most believe was his last competitive tournament. Taylor now takes over as the head coach at Oklahoma State. Enjoy this throwback from 2009. Want an ad-free version of the show?
