Is there anyone still in college in D1 wrestling that would have entered college before the transfer portal existed? I guess Iowa could argue they didn’t need the portal to get Teemer and Buchanan… (IIRC, Parco did actually go in the portal. Sorry forgot him in my list of point scorers earlier)

When the new rules came in didn’t CSU say they were reducing scholarships down to 2. But still have a 33 roster, which means that’s 31 wrestlers paying their own way for school, housing and books.

You have to subtract 45 minutes for lunch after my first clueless response all the replies were reaction to being a stooge; instant incrimination

That seems like days worth of work to find the detailed deltas YOY of transfers but I'm not going to stop you lol

That's my point. I will say that our elite wrestlers are good as ever, obviously. But the sport as a whole is dying. I don't what it to die, but that's my opinion.

Except colleges don’t pay NIL $ to athletes.

I tried to show ya long before, "now."

Funny you should mention that. I just started looking at it. I should have something this afternoon.

There are bad youth coaches are in every sport. Fortunately your friend's kids didn't have them...

sorry for the typo that has remained undetected until now; thru my dyslexia. yes I was clueless. carry on excuse me for i don't know what I'm signing

I would say anyone that had any involvement in the investigation or cover up is dead or has one foot in the grave. Nothing will be done about. Let's just move on we much bigger fish to fry.

Our own Bagdad Bob.

Honestly, I have friends who have wrestled in college. None of their sons wrestled for more than a month or so. Straight to basketball or soccer. Their daughters played field hockey with several earning athletic scholarships. Why? Because their youth coaches were infinitely better.

?? Do you mean Max Dean?

Super heavy lift would be going back to 2018 (technically 2017) YOY when the portal began to settle this question once and for all. Byproduct answer to the likely follow-up question would be 2021-present when NIL began. Do it before Flo steals it though now that this is in the open

Random thoughts: It's an indication that we don't live in a warrior mindset. Let's face it, wrestling is hard even for the winners. Our country is soft compared to past generations. It's why travel soccer has millions of kids. It's easy and mom can get drunk at the Saturday morning game. Are Notre Dame or Oregon contemplating the reinstatement of their once solid wrestling programs? How about Tennessee or Syracuse?
