Did Dresser pay off Cornell?

[Mr. PeanutButter]

Or was there some other, totally reasonable explanation for tonight's debacle? Perhaps half the team sprained its ankle on the tricky bottom step to the locker room?

[1032004]

Combine this with ignoring Shapiro’s likely concussion, not a great look for the Big Red

[flyingcement]

Imagine if this happened in basketball or football.  It wouldn't. I'm so heavily disappointed 

[Tigerfan]

This event was never intended to be anything other than a school-funded vacation, by the coaches who started it. Maybe I should have warned y’all to not pay for it. 
 

On another note, I wonder how many matches Flo’s favs will have to lose before they stop trying to justify their rankings? Time will tell. 

[MPhillips]

@BigRedFan will address these...

Career highlight, especially for a college kid...

I think my ESPN+ and BTN+ will be sufficient going forward.  I won't be falling for anymore of these PPV for JV teams

I won't, but Mike Grey did:

I have received quite a few messages regarding our Iowa State dual so I figured I would get right to it. We had starters get injured during our previous matches in the day. If we wrestled Iowa State first we would have had all our starters in.  I’m not going to risk further injury and endanger my student-athletes for a dual in December.  Good or bad in the eye of the public, my job is to protect my athletes and if they aren’t able to compete they will not. We have Ohio State, Virginia Tech, Missouri and NC State amongst others remaining on the schedule. I think we have the toughest schedule in the country and I expect to wrestle our best in each event. Injuries are part of the sport and they unfortunately aren’t predictable.

Did he not know his team had a tough schedule ahead before scheduling this event and collecting the PPV revenue?

Other than conferences and nationals I won't pay for another Cornell match while Mike Grey is coach.  Waste of money

Maybe Grey will give the money back and Stoneflipper will refund the customers.

For me he can keep the money if he can find a way to give back the time

Maybe they should flip the schedule tomorrow, lead off with NC State v OSUe, we wouldn't want more injured ducks in the premier matches. 

 

BTW: Oregon really should bring back wrestling.

Yeah, I think this just sealed the deal... I'll be flying to Raleigh to see the Wolfpack take on VA Tech and not the "Little Red."

No, he did not pay off Cornell.  I'm sure he wanted to give his guys a crack against Mike Grey's mallards.

Grey is pathetic. He’s shown his true colors plenty of time now. Lost a ton of respect for the guy.

Cornell just made the naughty list this Holiday season. Not good so close to Christmas.

The NBA commissioner has gone to great lengths over a number of years to resolve the load management issue with positive reinforcement [play-In tournament with with approximately a $40,000,000 prize pool for the players and coaches] and negative reinforcement [6 to seven figure escalating fines at the coach and team levels].

Lol if you believe that I have a bridge I can sell you. Let me know when you are ready to send payment  

Super convenient that their top wrestlers going against some of ISUs top wrestlers were the only ones hurt. 
 

Damage control at its finest.
