I see that both Nebraska and Iowa turned down going to the Duals in 2026 as the date changed to mid-December, right in middle of finals week for many programs. Now they will be down Penn St, Iowa, Nebraska and all the top Ivy leagues. Cliff Keen in Vegas is also week prior so teams will have to decide between Cliff Keen or National Duals - weakening both tournaments.

With all the success in year one and hype around it, feels like they are going to lose lots of momentum by the date change. Not sure what was wrong about last years date.
