Questions to ask this coach (8)

- Does the program use roster limits or cuts, and what team-related expenses are not covered?
- How do wrestlers in business or other lab-intensive majors handle practice and travel?
- What is the normal weekly in-season time commitment, including morning lifts and weekend travel?
