VakAttack Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 9 hours ago, Idaho said: Salted with some truth as well. Do you really think that the rich aren’t getting richer and able to buy their way to trophy contention every year? Despite the way Koll comes off he’s speaking what most wrestling fans know to be true. Coaches use rules to their advantage at every turn in every sport. Ol' Finger Lakes Koll should know that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tired of these attacks on Cornell. Everyone knows he sent those kids to community college to help them with their education so they could graduate in 7 years. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idaho Posted June 14, 2023 Author Share Posted June 14, 2023 9 hours ago, TylerDurden said: Since the NCAA began hosting DI championships, there have only been 11 different team champions. There have been five, one-time winners. Six schools have won 82 of the 87 titles that the NCAA has handed out. Nineteen schools have been runners-up and only nine of those 19 haven't won the title. NIL didn't do that. The transfer portal didn't do that. Wrestling has always been top-heavy and various methods have been used to get to the top of the heap. Koll is a smart guy, but he's spouting off with his sanctimonious nonsense to send a message (also lying) to recruits that he's not going to recruit over you via the portal (which he undoubtedly will, given the chance). Do you really think Koll is going to keep trotting out a team full of guys who can't win in the Pac 12? "Rich getting richer" means that it will get even worse than it was before. That's what the suffix "er" means.... more. There is no doubt that a few teams have dominated over the years, which has been discussed on this board many times. The portal/NIL era has undoubtedly given those same teams an even greater advantage because of the money they have to get free-agents to fill weak weights. I'm fine with Koll not winning pac-12 titles - probably means my team has a good chance to win it. Regardless, he brought up good points.... and bad points- like winning a team trophy in 2 years. Not sure that's happening. Sponsored by INTERMAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure..... but you used a bad example... that only applies to Ivies...Koll was only getting a redshirt year like every other school including Iowa. Not really getting an advantage there - more of a level playing field with the rest of the country. You know that. Sponsored by INTERMAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People might choose Cornell over a Big 10 school, because of the Ivy status. Envision a Meyer Shapiro type recruit. This recruit wants the Ivy degree and the network that comes with it, but also has ways around Ivy rules and admissions standards. Therefore it clearly 'applies to more than the Ivies.'

Yes to both. #1 in the nation, probably isn't worth as much as the same degree from an Ivy. Yes, I know that UIUC engineering is great, but that Ivy degree and the connections that it brings are likely priceless, (Not to mention if you want to branch out/switch fields....) (And I was also going to mention that there are probably very few wrestlers in these programs) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom LaJoie, now a graduate transfer to Stanford, is but one recent example. Hatcher is there now. Cardenas, Foca, and Fernandez are in the Architecture College, which is no walk in the park.

Nittanychris Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Koll is a bitter man. Everyone knows Penn State wins last year without a single transfer. Moving forward, whether you like it or not, NIL and the Transfer Portal are here to stay. You can piss and moan about it, try to change the system or simply adapt and play the game as it exists. Coaches who adapt to the system will obviously have the best chance to be successful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly my point, and the Cornell network is going to be extremely helpful in this situation. As far as "starting salary isn't everything," I would certainly agree, but it is about the only quantifiable data we have here. Thus, unless you are aware of some other data points, I think Cornell wins this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a university wide effort, i.e collective.... most school have them (if not all by now). Keep trying though.
