CLEVELAND, Ohio – The NCAA announced the qualifying tournament allocations for the upcoming 2026 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, and 27 student-athletes from the Mid-American Conference’s 12 teams secured a pre-allocation spot.
Each qualifying tournament was awarded pre-allocations to the national tournament based on regular season performance by conference wrestlers through Feb. 23. The pre-allocations were determined by using a sliding scale of the three standards, win percentage, coaches’ rank, and RPI ranking; while never going below the base of .700 winning percentage, top 30 coaches’ ranking and top 30 RPI ranking until reaching the maximum of 29 wrestlers per weight class.
