Most don't like Bo, or Bob? The statement is technically true either way as the general public of over eight billion people don't even know who either of them are. Since they do not know him/them they cannot like him/them. That said, I don't think most people who are aware of Bo dislike him. Most people who are aware of Bob do dislike him.

Overall, Muslim perpetrators are responsible for more terrorist attacks and fatalities globally, but Catholic extremists are extremely rare and account for a negligible share. Here’s a detailed breakdown: Global Perspective In a comprehensive dataset of 151,583 terrorist events (global, up to 2021), groups identified as Muslim-affiliated(i.e., Islamist) were responsible for 51% of attacks and 69% of deaths From 1979 to 2021, at least 48,000 Islamist terrorist attacks occurred worldwide—mainly in Muslim-majority countries—resulting in over 210,000 fatalities Catholic-driven terrorism (or Christian extremist attacks) make up only a minuscule fraction of these global numbers—no comparative statistics exist, and no large-scale Catholic extremist group operates comparably to Islamist or secular factions.

I'd be shocked if they gave one to Mongush. They usually only give wrestle-offs to the exceptional - Sidakov, Sadulaev, Uguev. Pavlov did beat Mongush at last year's Russian Nationals and the two had a close match at the Yarygin this year (it was 7-5). But I agree that Mongush has been better internationally.

Your first link specifically says: "Even though this study demonstrates BIPOC athletes are involved with NIL deals at higher rates than white athletes, it is unclear if that means they are having the same level of “success.”" Another damning point about this study is it does not come close to representing where the NIL $s are spent. While there are some basketball players (7% - 8th most by sport) and a handful of football players (2.1% - 16th most), it basically ignores where the money is actually spent. Finally, it is a study of expectations rather than actual deals.

Also most at the top level are engaged in research not simply "teachers." How do you think your "smart phone" is even possible?

No, I am not implying Bob is running the show. I am saying his status within the Iowa program is different than Bill Bassetts so they are treated differently.

Not a problem I have but if I was donating millions to a program for facilities and specifically NIL, I'd 100 percent be having a say on where things are headed. I'm sorry but the "they're just kids" thing goes out the window the minute they take any money beyond the traditional "full" scholarship. You're an athlete that gets paid=you're a pro whether the organization labels you that or not. Get out of the bars and in the weight room. Tom, you better threaten PSU competitively or I'm gonna say something. I'm sure Tom and Terry serving their share of "bosses" is maddening. It's everywhere in government structured/educational institutions. He probably had enough of the Bassetts and decided he didn't need another boss. Can't blame him there. But also, you just lost a top recruit in the modern landscape, again. Better figure it out quick bro.

Christian fundamentalists continue to disproportionately murder and commit other violent acts.

After trying to get "all sides' of this story I have no clue where Bo will end up. Hey its a huge topic of conversation, so nice work Bassett family on getting back into the epicenter of attention. Where ever he ends up, i'm putting it right now at 50% he still transfers again anyway in the next 4-5 years.

How many of these are at the top? In the U.S. (as a sample), the National Center for Education Statistics counted for 2020: 189,692 professors 162,095 associate professors 166,543 assistant professors 96,627 instructors 44,670 lecturers 164,720 other full-time faculty — totals to roughly 824,000 full-time faculty

It ain't working correct?

Well one of them just got arrested, so I think that one is pretty self-explanatory. Not sure about Arnold, I have seen him be accused of partying as well, but no clue if there’s truth to that. Bob may be racist, but I don’t think that post was. Now ScrapLife’s Don Beshada’s post from 2020 on the other hand… (but he did apologize at least)

Do you think he would call out Charlize Theron or Elon Musk over something - both "African Americans". Maybe it is just those he feels are having problems that bring public scrutiny that is not positive?

This is not a silly topic. He could easily salvage it by becoming university president, hiring himself as AD, firing the Brands bros, and then hiring himself as Head Coach. All while winning a world championship. Problem solved.

His infatuation with breaking news before Ben's wife does is rather insane.

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.
