Rei going folkstyle? Could it be?

Is he even NCAA eligible? Probably not
Did he take Olympic or other championship prize money? Probably so
Sound like an NCAA Clearinghouse disaster waiting to happen.

If Higuchi were to wrestle for the college team, the ensuing meltdown from some of other team's fans would be epic. Crazy thing is, if you look at the most recent weight class rumors, it sure does look like they are making room for someone.

The meltdown would have a certain entertainment value.

Why not allow eligible international students to compete? They do in basketball, hockey, etc...

Sanshiro Abe ... Alan Gelogaev ... Bekzod at Clarion ...

Plenty have before in wrestling. Bob Anderson makes a good point above: we don't know what money he may have accepted in Japan. The NCAA can be pretty weird about that kind of stuff. Doesn't mean he can't, just that the PSU compliance office has a mountain of paperwork ahead of them -- if he and Cael even want it.

Agreed El-Jefe.

Seems like a lot more trouble than it's worth especially if you don't need to go through the hassle and scrutiny. They don't unless there is another end game that no others have contemplated.

Cael has escalated it to a wrestling geothermal arms race and he is the leader of the super power.
