Sounds like you know exactly what's in there. Release the files then.

Lots of pole vaulters are wrestlers.

I can see the argument both ways. On one hand, ADs will have to dig deep to scrape together the cash just to balance their budget sheet and remain financially stable, nevermind whatever extra will be required to stay competitive in the salary cap game. Losing the guaranteed revenue from student fees probably means tickets, concessions, parking, perks, etc. will have to increase for everyone, or that cuts will be made to non-revenue sports. OTOH: athletic fees being added to tickets are often seen as a regressive tax on the entire student body to support programs that mostly benefits a select group of athletes and coaches. Many students are already deep in debt and struggling to pay for college but are are being forced to help subsidize big-budget athletics regardless of their interest in sports. When I was in school, the university built a lavish gym & rec center, then added a mandatory "rec fee" on our tuition bill to pay it down. There was a huge uproar about it, but at least the gym was something that all students could use. Athletic fees are a little different because they fund facilities and resources that most students will never have access to; and they go towards lining the pockets of superstar athletes and high profile coaches who are already the state's highest-paid employees and treated like campus royalty. With the revenue burden shifting to fans, though (tickets, food prices, etc.) I wonder if demand (in)elasticity will persist. Prices at P4 programs are already pretty steep, and just about all the market will bear, at least for casuals

Suriano has said that his heart is set on the big screen. Wrestling is just a stepping stone. He started to enter his Weird Nick phase right around the time he started taking acting lessons, which I figured was his way of being some sort of social media personality that could open doors to other opportunities. It's hard to tell though, if the weird stuff was schtick or if he's really like that.

Get Bob to open up the bankroll, looks like he's fit right in at Iowa with that killer collar tie.

That side bet your right hand made with your left hand was made by a bettor.

One of those was 2021 right?

So not betting on something like you were. Got it. Thanks confirming what a bettor is

I'm starting to get a little more into T&F- my neighbor is actually the head coach at a local university and ironically also wrestled in high school the same time I did albeit in a different part of the state. But we are always keeping each other looped in on each other's current areas of interest.

Good to see this thread getting some love now! These are still rookie numbers though, gotta pump them up some more! queue bigbrob confused emoji.

@bigbrob - It seems like when you don't have a response to a post you just come in with the confused emoji haha. That being said, you would either have the worst poker face imaginable or you just are genuinely confused a lot of the time on here in which case I feel a little sorry for you always walking around in the dark haha...

Unless I'm missing something, Gabe's eligibility clock would still be running if he transferred to a JUCO. It might also void his DSA status for roster limits.

Feel this was an unnecessary shot at Brown . . . But I'm certainly not smart enough for any Ivy League school so take my thoughts w/ a grain of salt

it was a fairly obvious attempt to crap on PSU in a ham handed fashion.

Hamiti beat him at WTT, though, via 5-3 Decision. I wouldn't expect that drastically different a result a couple months later.

As you said, Vito and Yianni both took an Olympic "RS" in 2020 by unenrolling (the only way to do it in the Ivy League), and then both unenrolled in the 2021 COVID year. The latter was an explicit exception: they changed the "4 in 5" (not "5 in 4!") to "4 in 6" for this one time. AFAIK, nobody else would have been able to take more than one year. Josh Saunders has two empty years in his wrestlestat history.

I don't think they are either? Not sure your aim there, big guy.

8/4 First official day of home visits....Should be a busy week. Interesting to see if anyone verbals or to soo what schools visited kids. Always lots of these posted on social media. Out west most schools are back in school, but think most Eastern/Midwest schools are not so wonder if that affects things. Either way good stuff.

That would be the wise thing to do.....they are better off dealing with RV.

Cool man. Pray for me. No worries.

No, you're confused my friend. Maybe anger is on your conscious. I am simply offering to add you to my prayers for growth and development (which, most people realize is the opposite of angry). But I still have faith in you.

Look for my guy Brady Roark to make some noise and sneak on the podium for SDSU.

Ruiz has racked up some solid accolades this summer. A gold here from him certainly isn’t a shocker

You guys might agree to a ceasefire?
