That's not true. There is a path to get to NCAA's and not earn it at Big Ten's. Btw, sure you know, but it's no longer a wild card (that system is gone), it's now at-large selection.
Below are the criteria for Bronze Standard, the only criteria used AFTER the conference's qualifying tournaments. ONLY TWO ARE REQUIRED to get on the list and be stack ranked against other Bronze Standard wrestlers.
Stoll will have a Coaches Ranking (5 bouts required), surely won't have an RPI (17 required), but MAY HAVE a Win % (8 bouts required, INCLUDING any wrestled at Big Ten's). It looks like he may or may not wrestle against a wrestler that earned an auto-qualifier spot for their conference, but he could finish the B1G's one spot below autoqualification.
Remember, only two are required, so right now, there's several paths this could go...and one is still at-large, if it comes down to that.
●● .700 Win %
●● Top 33 RPI
●● Top 33 CR
●● .700 winning percentage against all competition
●● One win against a wrestler receiving automatic qualification via an earned position (preallocated)
●● Qualifying event placement one below automatic qualification
