The Fighting Scots of Edinboro is a behind-the-scenes look at how a small Division II university in northwestern Pennsylvania broke into the world of Division I wrestling and has managed to thrive. The program has produced three national champions, multiple runners-up, and several top-10 team finishes, often ahead of larger, better-funded schools like Penn State, Northwestern, Penn, Iowa State, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Missouri. Along the way, there are some amazing stories and characters, including some of the most recognizable and colorful personalities in the sport, like Olympians Bruce Baumgartner and Lou Roselli.
