Methodology & sources

Short version: official beats secondary, sourced beats unsourced, empty beats guessed.

What's included

Every institution sponsoring NCAA Division II or III varsity men's wrestling in the current NCAA championship alignment, plus current sponsors in provisional or reclassifying status (flagged) and announced future programs (flagged, not counted). Discontinued programs are kept as stubs so links don't rot. Currently 207 programs (75 D2, 132 D3). NAIA, NJCUA, NCWA/club and D1 programs are not listed.

Source hierarchy

1. Official — the institution's athletics/admissions pages, conference offices, the NCAA.
2. Federal — College Scorecard / IPEDS for enrollment, admission rate, net price, completion.
3. Secondary — labeled as such (e.g., US News, d3wrestle, WrestleStat, press) and replaced when an official/federal figure exists.

Rules we hold ourselves to

• Every data page shows a verified on date and links to its sources.
• No coach email or phone is ever inferred or constructed — only contacts literally printed on an official staff page appear.
• Assessments (e.g., "strong", "limited") are labeled opinions kept separate from facts; there are no numeric rankings.
• Paid status never affects inclusion, ordering, or the facts shown.
• Where an official figure isn't published, the field is empty rather than filled with a guess.

How it's maintained

Data lives as versioned CSV/JSON files. Automated agents re-fetch official pages on a schedule, propose changes with sources, and a human reviews every change before it's published; 2727 changes have been reviewed and merged so far. Corrections: cody92783@gmail.com.
