Rudis is so happy it wasn’t another one of their guys lol

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

You were never a whore!

Jimmy my man, I'm not here to tell you who to root for, but you're making an awful lot of assumptions based on a very small amount of evidence. Not every miscreant is a Jerry Sandusky, and not every coach/admint response that doesn't rectify it a Curley/Paterno. It looks bad for Starocci, as I see no reason for Beau to lie. But remember, a lot of these other allegations are anonymous, and most have never been reported to police (or PSU). In any case, one bad apple does not mean the whole tree is rotten. As I wrote earlier, there's a lot of open questions about what the coaches knew and what was reported to them. There's no indication that anyone complained about his behavior toward women or, importantly, his in-practice conduct. If they were, those are game changers, but no one is saying that. As to the theft, I'm not sure what a coach can do besides point Beau to the police, as they aren't detectives. Once reported to police, it is not appropriate for coaches to intervene. The photo of Beau while naked is the most serious of the allegations that are said to have been reported to coaches. But even there, there's much we don't know. Beau was naked, but did the photo itself show his privates? If it did, was it immediately deleted? If not, was it among those posted to a group chat? When reported, did the coaches (a) ignore it, (b) discipline Starocci, but short of booting him, (c) report it up the chain, and they did nothing? Even if an AD dropped the ball, were the coaches willfully ignorant about what they knew to be serious (as they were aware of other perverted conduct), or did they understand this to be low-grade misconduct? I can see scenarios where there is culpability on the part of the coach it was reported to, but I also can see scenarios where it was handled properly. If you want to take the position that "if a student-athlete ever takes a locker photo of a naked teammate, they should be immediately kicked off the team, no questions asked," you can. In the aftermath of this, I suspect some will take exactly that position. But it strikes me as extreme, as misconduct like this is highly fact-specific. Taking a picture as a gag and promptly deleting it after a laugh is far less culpable than posting a pic of his wang on a group chat, there's the related question whether it's a joke gone awry or more vindictive (as Beau sees it). From our vantage point, it's the other reports of misconduct that makes the photo so problematic, but it isn't clear the coaches had the benefit of that lens. To be clear, I'm not trying to make excuses. I'll be at the front of the line calling for resignations/firings if there's facts showing real culpability. But I loathe snap judgments based on one-sided ambiguity-laden reporting. Let the facts come out before making judgments based on facts you don't have. I'd join you in calling for an investigation, but not for calling for anyone's head at this juncture.

"BTW Cael (pronounced almost like Kyle) had my guy Carter on a training regimenT that had him winning VERSE anybody in collegIANT wrestling. This is a nothingburger of the highest caliPER. BTW did I tell you that Carter is my guy?" - Some of my favorite Baschisms

Why are you even remotely defending his actions? He knew they were looking for him and did nothing to help

Why's he stealing shoes? That's gross and probably not even the right size. Probably doing that just to be a dick and screw with Bartlett cause there's no benefit to him with taking someone else's smelly, too-small shoe.

They are scared. Really bad timing considering what just happened with KS. Also really bad that it’s a NLWC athlete…again. And don’t give me that he wasn’t signed BS either

They checked the football stadium, soccer field, basketball court, volleyball gym, track & field. There was literally nowhere else to look.

4.5 hours since the article came out and all the major wrestling media members are so quiet that you could hear a mouse fart

I think it is a good idea if matches are competitive. Otherwise, they would just be hosting matches that only freestyle nerds care about. The average wrestling fan (college only) and casual MMA fans won't care as much about the current freestyle matchups (which they can see at worlds/WTT anyway)

TDS IS REAL.

He, "poo, poo'ed" it as soon as Bartlett made the allegations...

They also needed him to admit to being a thief before taking action?

... but how many times does a normal person say "nothingburger" inside 2 minutes?

Him and his wife both have real big social media accounts. She in specific has 1million followers on TikTok

Hard to say anything when you're gargling nittany lion balls

I’m feeding the trolls. I have made a ton of posts saying he doesn’t belong on it. Some of the psu faithful don’t like said posts.

I think "Nothingburger" Basch said one of the reasons Bartlett didn't return this year is that he was already making six figures + doing whatever it is he does. Maybe graphic design? Computer related? Whatever it was, I guess he had a solid source of income.

No worries folks- you can go from being a coach that knowingly allows heinous things to happen to your team straight to being a politician! The future is still bright for Cael, one way or another.

The only rant he'll go on is how everyone that believes this is part of the deep state/climate change gate/epstein-weinstein pedo pizza galleria I kid, I kid. I expect the response to be in line with their response to the Gilman, Snyder, and original Beau Bartlett news

They're all like when Chris Farley interviews Paul McCartney on SNL.

Well on the subject of Starocci, gotta give credit to this Evan Smith guy. Looks like he put a lot of research into this. And looks like he has been part of a PSU wrestling podcast and has written other positive articles about PSU wrestling, so he’s not an ambulance chaser.

Wonder if he did excessive oil checks when wrestling with Jake Varner. Would that be similar to when criminals do "suicide by cop"?

Told ya...
