This shows that at least some rules are still set in place and effective when additional year(s) of eligibility are in question. No way Alvarez qualified for a medical in either of those two years Let’s slam the door on the AJ Ferrari has 3 years left now because there is no logical explanation of it being more than 2. Curious to see what the ruling will be with Ono’s eligibility. As much as I don’t like to see Penn St with yet another hammer at their disposal, I do prefer to not see him in a Japan singlet at 61kg vs any of our Americans. Although I do hear that the rep Japan has in Ono’s place this year on their world team is also a beast. Would love to put all this 6-8 year crap to rest. We are now coming to an end of having wrestlers participating in 5 NCAA tournaments (due to 2021 not counting against eligibility). Let’s get back to the good o’le days of 4 seasons in 5 years (outside of IVY 4/4 unless Grey shirt). So much easier to keep track of.

Good day wrestling gurus! I built an app for NCAA Wrestling Trivia, too bad my dumba$$ didn't realize that I need 12 android users to test for 14 days before it's a published APP on Google Play. *(I will clear the scoring logs after testing)* I have completed and submitted to Apple for review already - that could ready in a few days. This APP will be on Apple and Google Play - FREE for everyone - currently I have over 325 questions, it's set up for 10 questions per round, 10 second timer for each question. I have included a running leaderboard. If you want to be a beta tester, just send me your email address and I'll get you added to the list ( use message above ) t

Source? Looks like bs to me. Probably almost all cops and criminals.

Up to a point, I would think. And a lot depends on context. I'm sure other wrestlers could tell the difference between 'it happens' vs. being groped/assaulted. I'm sure all of us could.

rasta i like you more and more with almost every post i know we don't always agree. i wish i could be a little cooler like you im serious. respect.

such an authority on everything

Estimates of defensive gun uses (DGUs) in the U.S. vary widely, but most major studies suggest that firearms are used for self-defense between 500,000 and 3 million times annually. A comprehensive study in 2021 estimated 1.6 million defensive gun uses per year. Some studies suggest the number could be even higher, potentially reaching 4.7 million annually.

maybe not this forum.. though that's probably not true..

You know wrestlers have been convicted of crimes for this right? Sticking your fingers in someone’s ass is not okay.

why does Iran want a nuke?

Spitballing here, insurance actuaries looked at his current physical condition and decided his 5 year survival chances with the transplant were low and funding this is a poor risk. Lungs are the toughest, having high surface area exposed to the air envelope.

LOL

well if not they all claim like you that it's not happening and if so rare. and even if not rare its good and.. well you know the drill

Maybe it’s a great example of how not every single mother f***ing thing has to be about R vs D. What an amazing concept. Maybe more should take heed.

Lmao at you. What a trash human being.

to be fair... he did say "say more publicly". Props to Beau for not trying to be a tough guy dumbass tho.

Number one cause of bankruptcy is medical debt acquired while insured. https://bloodyelbow.com/2025/06/26/so-upset-ben-askrens-insurance-not-covering-life-saving-lung-transplant-leaves-former-ufc-fighter-outraged/

The Federal government is already involved via title IX. So they have to right to say this cannot be done. And why does that have to be? Because there are many out there that proclaim that trans women are women and should be able to do and go anywhere all women can do and go. Will it only be important when a major injury happens? No it is important now and needs to be addressed. mspart

Scourge, see my above comments. I'll just be repeating myself if I keep going, but my last few comments: -- Counting up the number of black players isn't helpful. We already know that black athletes are dramatically overrepresented in high-end NCAA D1 athletics. That doesn't answer whether there's a racial disparity after taking that disproportionate representation into account. -- When you say things like "these schools want to WIN!", it tells me you're confusing the school with the NIL donors, which are kept separate by law. That was my whole point that indirectly led to this discussion: NIL donors aren't beholden to follow the university's obligation not to discriminate. Donors want to see their school win too, but they're also making an economic investment. That's why social media following is so central. There's a separate metric for it for every athlete shown on On3, though other intangibles apply too. That means if there's a racial disparity in social media following and overall fame, that will translate to what sponsors will offer. It's really not much different than male professional athletes earning more, on average, than women. I don't think the racial disparity is nearly as stark as the gender one, but it's existed every time someone's take the time to examine it. -- Although NIL is market driven, I agree that merit is the primary driver of NIL money -- both because excellence drives social media follows, and because many donors are motivated by desire to make their team win, not just to make money. On that, we don't disagree. But again, the question is whether there's a racial disparity, and the answer consistently has been yes, every time it's been critically examined. It's a separate question to ask how large that disparity is, and as I said above, I'd personally join the hypothesis that it's gone down in recent years as collectives have increased, leading to greater coordination more race neutrality than you are apt to find if left to individual wealthy donors. -- This is just a theory, but I'd wager the racial disparity is smaller in non-revenue sports, like wrestling. That's because donors to these sports are more apt to be driven by loyalty to a team, rather than to make money. They're not making an "investment" where they need to worry about their revenue-generation ability, so much as they're trying to build a winning team, where "marketability" is irrelevant. (See CStar.) In any case, I'm not sure if we really disagree all that much. Is NIL fund allocation 100% race neutral? 80%? 95%? My guess is the racial disparity has reduced, as I said, but some level of racial disparity is almost inevitable when (a) allocation of NIL dollars is left purely to the marketplace, where race plays at least a small role, and (b) when your main donors are old white men, some of whom may harbor old biases that the university is powerless to put in check.

That’s a pretty strong statement about a very large portion of the country. I assume you want people to respect differences, right?

Thanks for the vote of confidence, we are on it!

Not sure why you’re saying you don’t want to reply anymore, but if you’re saying “NIL money is predominantly a meritocracy,” then seems like we agree. But saying “well there might be a 5% disparity” is a long way from when you said “16% of NIL dollars go to people of color.” Yes I know you were quoting something else, but you seemed to take it as fact. And I’m not saying they fabricated that stat, I looked up where it came from and it said it came from Opendorse, so in all likelihood it was only based on transactions on Opendorse, which wouldn’t include the top athletes. I am curious why you think my criticism of the “one study” was “factually wrong” though. I believe @Wrestleknownothing made similar criticisms about it.

Worst case? For Carter By far is a conviction of sexually related charges. Hazing. And theft. Registering as a sex offender and not being able to coach anywhere. Kicked off team USA. Then having to figure out how to monetize that RECREATION, PARK AND TOURISM MANAGEMENT major. I’m sure it’s super valued in the market. Maybe he can ask that other rec park and tourism mgmt major who just graduated what you use that for.

How about if trumptard gets involved in wrestling rule changes too? Maybe he can sign an e.o. changing takedowns to 4 pts.
