    Why Do You Rob Banks? Because That's Where the Money Is.

    Why is the NWCA Multi-Divisional National Dual Meet Championships so important? Because that's where the teams are. The MatStats Posse explains why this dual meet tournament is so important. This is even though the fan favorite NCAA Men's D1 teams are not involved. MatStats contends the Multi-Divisional Nationals are a result of the explosive growth of the World's Oldest & Greatest sport. It is fitting that the NWCA is the sponsor of this event, since the NWCA is a huge reason for the growth of wrestling.
