You were correct. Picklo now in the portal as well

I’m assuming “walk on’s” can still earn schollies and $

I think that is the loophole @Idaho referenced above.

Does a kid actually have to enter the portal to move schools? According to Damien Hahn the Iowa kids just showed up in his office asking to join the team and we’re never in the portal.

Like China huh?

The Martha’s Vineyard due process should apply nationally.

Not sure what that has to do with your inner hatred. The stress of carrying it will get you without you even knowing.

There would need to be a change to how scholarships are typically funded. Schools do not like to rely on year to year funding as it is uncertain, making it impossible to do any long term planning. So they typically require the scholarship to be endowed. Depending on the assumptions the school makes about investment returns they may require a 20:1 (or more) ratio. So twenty scholarships at $50k each, or $1 million, would require an upfront, one-time contribution of at least $20 million.

The left won’t care one bit about this.

Yay

The second chart is interesting. Two takeaways from that at a glance: 1) The old PAC schools were underrated, historically speaking. Presumably due to lack of competition and rankers not respecting their schedules. Kind of doubt that will still be the case moving forward. and 2) Big 10 guys in the middle tier of their respective weight classes tend to outperform seeds. I think people are generally aware of this--a Big 10 wrestler with a ~.500 record can still be quite dangerous at NCAAs, but will probably be seeded in the 20's. Interesting to see some data backing it up.

I didn’t think supporting a duel championship was a thing in PSU threads …. oh wait. D-U-E-L. My bad.

Such a geek thread.

I want to see Mesenbrink against an adult male chimp, mono a mono, scratch weight. If it's jungle rules, surely the chimp wins, by using its treacherous tactics. However, if you make face ripping, eye gouging, and genital biting all illegal it might be a good match.

The DOJ didn't really have a choice. I mean they could have lied, but I don't know if they want to do that and get sued.

Not sure how we’re defining “rich.” Maybe Rob Koll?

I'm drunk.

I understand the individual words you are saying, but not when they're put together in a sentence like that

Yeah, folks on here have speculated that some programs will get around the roster cap via clubs/RTC. And while fully funding 30 schollies is a nice idea, donors wouldn't do that because there are alternatives that would likely produce better returns, like donating to the RTC, funding new facilities & equipment (and maybe having your name attached to it on a plaque, which a lot of donors dig), or giving elite guys outside NIL deals to keep them on the roster. None of this applies to Iowa ofc, because we're obviously
