This is your response to the very serious news coming out of PSU, to make it about Iowa?

I'm saying it's hard to know the difference as a coach. If one kid complains and the other denies it or says it was accidental, that's a pretty thin basis to discipline a kid. Yes, sometimes it's obviously intentional, but sometimes it isn't so obvious, and coaches know that. If there's multiple reports, yes. But in a one-off situation, I think most coaches would just say, "I don't know what happened but just try to make sure you don't do that." Here there is no indication it was reported at all. And just because a coach was nearby, doesn't mean he's watching for ball-grabs. To be clear, if 2 or 3 of the complaining wrestlers in the article showed up in Cael's office with essentially the same complaint, and Cael did nothing, I'd find that utterly inexcusable -- even if Starocci denied it. But that's hypothetical based on the limited facts given.

So what happened?

These stories break when someone is willing to come forward and put their name to accusations. Often, one person is enough to create the cracks in a dam of a story. Beau Bartlett putting his name to these accusations is not a "nothingburger".

I considered a degree in geography, but there was too much math. And the challenge of getting those maps colored in the right colors was pure horror.

He will pray for those who would make these allegations, acknowledge that all men are fallible and this is all part of the CStar's faith journey. Then tell all the hater they can [QV w/ undercover cop Kyle Snyder style]

Actually PSU/NLWC with a much tougher off-season...

Hey Vak please share how you felt when you started your thread 3 hours ago. I bet that was exhilarating when you first learned of this, huh. Iowa has been taken it hard here for a few weeks so this is now your opportunity. Of course JC is gonna chime in.

Which finals opponent of his are you discarding?

Heating oil needed in Sri Lanka? I find that suspect. It's a tropical climate. Maybe 80F is cold there, who knows. mspart

“Penn State police were unable to contact Starocci over the course of the nearly six month investigation, Beau said. Since they couldn’t get an admission of guilt from Starocci, the case was closed and referred to student conduct.” says nothing about what protocol was used to try and contact CStar

what does your semester final, however many years ago, have to do with the price of tea in china and why no one cares?

I understand what you are saying, but this is why we send kids to school. Very few students in school feel that education has intrinsic value, but it does. Knowing basic facts about the world always has intrinsic value. The schools are not doing the job they are there to do. mspart

Read the article, bro

Not a fan of either entity (police or CStar) but are they not able to make physical contact to try and get the admitting of guilt?

I noticed Basch didn't make an infographic yet so I thought I'd help him out

They said they could only take action if he admitted it because there was no actual evidence that he stole anything. They reviewed the security camera footage and he was never seen with the allegedly stolen items. Seems pretty logical to me.

No one should be eligible for 5 seasons in college. Or else everyone should be eligible. I count him as a 4 timer, not a 5 timer. mspart

So I guess you won't be posting here any more? Cya.

That’s Tampon Tim’s MO. When his National Guard unit was set to deploy, he bailed.

Uh, I'm not... I despise the guy. Did you read the article? It literally said the police could only take action if he admitted to the theft. That's ludicrous. Almost as ludicrous as you coming at me over my criticism of the police protocol.

Rudis is so happy it wasn’t another one of their guys in the drama this time lol

You just make any thread you respond to 27% more stupid.
