Hopefully that’s actually true (there has been nothing since the last post I shared from Amy). Minnow pretending to be close with the Askren family is kinda gross though

Is mongush looking for an exemption as well? He seems to be far and away better than Pavlov now Imo.

Bob has donated well into the 8 figures to Iowa wrestling. His name is on the wrestling room and he signs all the NIL checks...I don't disagree that he deserves to call the shots, but I just disagree with him doing public callouts of wrestlers on the Iowa messageboards.

I think it's hard to dehydrate yourself to that extent two days in a row, but I could be wrong. I thought Amouzad wrestled really well at the PWL he seemed to lose his head after losing that challenge which I thought was a super questionable call from the angle I could see at least which resulted in him giving up the challenge point and then getting over zealous and getting shucked by for 2 and 2.

You are implying that Bob Nicolls is running the show. Do you also believe he tells Brands when to jump? If he does then that is a problem imo.

The last three links are specific to women. I’d agree that I’m sure there is probably a racial disparity in women’s sports, but I think that’s more due to the fact that unfortunately it seems a lot of women athletes’ NIL value is derived just as much from their sex appeal as their athletic ability. And white women appeal to a larger audience because there’s more white people… The first link is just some google survey, and looks like it’s only about “expectations.” Also it says the three sports represented the most are track, soccer, and lacrosse. Or is your comment referring to sports other than football & basketball? I guess that’s possible, but I’d bet football & men’s basketball account for like 90% of total NIL dollars spent or something.

I do not think schools will face liability for failing to provide tax and financial planning advice. Nevertheless, IMHO it is wise for schools to set up robust quality programs to do so for the long term benefit of their recruited athletes and programs receiving econimic benefits beyond non-taxable scholarships. There is some risk to schools in entering that space and it must be done with skill and care. I would expect that a larg part of the advice from such programs would be to urge individuals to get a sound personal advisor or advisors with certain registrations, education, certification and even affiliations that can provide some indication of sound training, expertise, supervision, and most importantly ethical standards - all to protect from embezlement, fraud, abuse, and really stupid decisions like an athlete making a large concentrated investment (high % of net worth) into a start up business. State income tax liaiblities often a modest part of the tax planning and tax compliance challenges - more the tail of the dog that is federal income tax compliance and planning than the dog itself.

LOL. You're just being intentionally obtuse here as opposed to just reading the words with context. What he said was a shot at Iowa. Everybody but you seems to acknowledge it. And he's allowed to take that shot ad may even be justified (although most of the scuttlebutt suggests not), but don't piss on me and swear it's raining.

Yep, the guy who is paying seven figures annually has a say and the guy who is receiving the money does not. I know it was a joke, but that is how the world works. Thou who has the gold, makes the rules. We all have bosses. And as Williams and Gabe are finding out, its never good to piss off the guy who signs your checks.

They should have had a bunch of titles stripped. Even today, ask schools like Arizona State how ethical Iowa is.

Not saying there is some truth to this, but most that teach at top academically competitive universities are enornmously talented and choosing to teach - often over other more lucrative but less rewarding paths. This is not based on data, but anecdotal and observations resulting from advanced years. By all means do your own research!

Iran has won the toss and elected to receive https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1ChSG584YU/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Can you share some of this evidence? I’m skeptical of that claim. And are you talking about within wrestling or in general?

meehhh, most don't like Bo in general, if this was done by Yianni or any other perceived "Good Guy" people would not be as upset. I did not read the article, but him telling them to get their crap together, be a D1 athlete, is not a bad thing. Have you watched any of Jordan's Instagram posts? Folks are worried about him. I am not saying Bo's words will save him, but I don't think anything is out of line at this point.

They'd pull up a crap, I mean a carp.

Don’t ceasefire’s always occur this way? The Armistice that ended fighting in World War I was signed at 5:00 a.m. on November 11, 1918, in a railway carriage in the Compiègne Forest of France. The ceasefire was scheduled to take effect six hours later, at 11:00 a.m. Central European Time—the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month". Despite the agreement, fighting continued during those final hours. Some commanders, particularly in the American forces under General John J. Pershing, chose to press on with offensives until the last moment. This decision led to significant casualties on the war's final day. Estimates suggest that approximately 11,000 soldiers were killed, wounded, or went missing on November 11, 1918. Of these, around 2,750 were killed.militarytimes.com+3history.blog.gov.uk+3legionmagazine.com+3militarytimes.comcwgc.org Notable among the last casualties were: Henry Gunther (USA): Killed at 10:59 a.m., just one minute before the armistice took effect, making him the last American—and possibly the last Allied—soldier to die in the war. George Lawrence Price (Canada): Shot by a sniper at 10:58 a.m., he is recognized as the last British Empire soldier killed in action during the war. Augustin Trébuchon (France): Killed at 10:45 a.m. while delivering a message to his unit. His death was officially recorded as occurring on November 10 to avoid the embarrassment of acknowledging combat deaths after the armistice was signed. These final casualties underscore the tragic reality that, even with peace agreed upon, the war's toll continued up to its very last moments. ww2 too When was the ceasefire agreed upon?

The other interesting thing too was Strauss being a photographer and doing photo shoot for JJ. JJ had to know as did everyone else. I think the Jordan calling Hellickson and several of the wrestlers to stay quiet is where he really messed up, politics aside. Michigan just settled a lawsuit a few years ago with a slimy Dr. just like Strauss. https://www.npr.org/2022/01/19/1074071024/university-michigan-sexual-abuse-sports-doctor

hope this isn’t real, seems like it is

somehow killings from hundreds of years ago have something to do with whats going on in America?

Gawd, I see now why people flame you. I would ASSume you are retired and sit around and think of ***I am an idiot and can't use a better adjective***ed $hit, post and then sit back and hope for a reaction. I hate myself for clicking on this damn post. I blame myself, not you.

Not sure, Amouzad lost to Mamedov at 67kg in that Iran vs Russia event. About that olympic final, the only thing the coaches ever said was that Kiyooka was a bad match up for him. I never heard anything about weight. I would be interested to see Amzouad and him hit day 1 this time and see if the weight thing had any impact. I suspect if weight was in issue it would have show on day 1 also but we will see.

The story says he was 17. Signed while in the Dominican, but suing under California laws. They are alleging predatory tactics, but no detail behind that.
