The IAwrestle Team is proud to announce that this October we will be hosting a premier wrestling event titled “The Night of Conflictâ€, and will pit some of the best talent that the state of Iowa has to offer in a head-to-head battle for supremacy of each weight class.

The event is scheduled for October 16, 2015 in Carver-Hawkeye Arena and it will take place the day before the Preseason tournament, the Conflict at Carver, whose proceeds directly benefit the Hawkeye Wrestling Club.

Following weigh ins for the Conflict at Carver, wrestlers who have registered for the tournament will receive automatic admission into the Night of Conflict, free of charge. Registration for the Conflict at Carver is scheduled to get underway on September 1, 2015 so don’t delay in signing up for a great tournament to get ready for the season, and the opportunity to watch a high caliber wrestling for free. Tickets for the Night of Conflict will also be available for purchase at the door.

Wrestlers competing in the event will be split into two squads, and each team will be coached by a Hawkeye Wrestling Club member.

I am 100% sure that you guys are making sure you are completely compliant with all the relevant NCAA rules, but I'm amazed that these events don't run afoul of recruiting limitations.

Just to address this, it's with a preseason tournament which has been around for the last 4-5 years. We are looking into events at Hilton (and the West Gym), but the offer we got to host our event at Carver was too good to turn down for a young company.
 
A couple of great Iowa State recruits that Iowa State is looking at in Gomez and Storr. Storr is a senior and Gomez is a junior. Really interested to see how Leisure stacks up against Storr.

Yeah, I wasn't insinuating anything about how you guys were running stuff. I'm just surprised the NCAA regulations allow for it.
 
Glad to see Leisure considering Iowa State. I think that Leisure is a stud. Really excited to see Storr vs Leisure match.
 
The last Flo ranking had UNI and Iowa State listed and not Iowa. But every other team changed.
