Aside from Colorado Springs and the US Army World Class Athletes Program like you mentioned, and the University of Northern Michigan, it seems there is a stronger Greco connection with the University of Minnesota and the Schools in the Pacific Northwest. Im guessing this is due to J Robinson's Greco past and all the world class Greco guys from Oregon (Hendo, Couture, Lindland, etc). So many of the top Greco guys came from Minnesota its pretty crazy.College is folkstyle only, that's what gets you scholarship.
Most of the Big College programs have freestyle club (Regional Training Center) they associate with where the guys train freestyle in the off-season. Right now Akgul is in Ohio training with the Ohio ETC.
I think most Grreco guys train in Colorado or join the military and compete for the armed forces.
