Apparently the gambling case was dismissed. Any details on what it means? Is this year now a RS, or does he lose a year of eligibility?

[wrestle87]

That's astonishing.  I'm really looking forward to what Dresser talked about, the Iowa and Iowa State guys taking the State of Iowa for a ride in the legal system.  

[1032004]

Was he ever even suspended by the NCAA?  I could be wrong but I thought he wasn’t because the allegations were from before he was a student 

[1032004]

And apparently it was for all the Iowa State athletes

What weight does he go next year? 157?

[Ohio Elite]

Remember when he spanked Gomez last year? He looked good early on.

Why are the cases only dismissed against ISU?

Because they were the only criminal cases... the NCAA violations is separate issue.  Iowa wrestlers did not have criminal charges, just NCAA violations.

The court doesn’t like tough wrestling.

 

j/k, yeah as mentioned I don’t believe there were still any with charges remaining.  There were some that pleaded guilty to lesser chargers earlier though, I bet they’re pissed

Still looking forward to a world free of the NCAA.

Not this again… this involves change and that scares me. But I also like the idea of wrestling being free and not needing the NCAA calling shots. We could promote and expand our own sport rather than relying on some mega corporation that only cares about profits deciding wrestlings fate and stature.

I should have been more precise.  I look forward to an era where the NCAA doesn't have undue, capricious, and inconsistent power to punish wrestlers based on hearsay and incomplete investigations largely based around evidence and intercollegiate politics.

Paniro was charged with a crime, because he allegedly gambled under someone else's (his mom's?) identity.

Didn't he also destroy evidence, or alleged that he did?

Carr is gone next year so Chittum could move up right?

In order to make room for Echemendia, Swiderski, and Johnson, he has to

Yes he was given a year suspension. Which won't change. Universities self report violations. So the NCAA didn't get the information from the state . But lawsuits will happen against the state for sure

Interesting, thanks.  And he can’t use a redshirt during it, correct?

Maybe--but Chittum doesn't look that big to me. And Paniro doesn't look like a 157 either.  And it is hard to say where Paniro will be in the fall after being out all year.  Will be interesting....

I bet they RS Swidersky and he goes 149, I don't think he is big enough to go 157.

No you can't RS your way out of a suspension.

Likely to go nowhere.

Sovereign immunity is still a thing and the loss of a year of NCAA eligibility is small potatoes compared to other cases with much, much worse things perpetrated by various states.

So Chittum hasn't actually used a redshirt yet and Gaitan could move down to 165.  Echemendia used his red shirt previously and also used the free year, but this was otherwise his first year of eligibility used. I'm gonna place the year of eligibility after the name for clarity.

2024:

141: Echemendia1

149: Swiderski2

157: Chittum1

2025:

141: Echemendia2

149: Johnson3 / Swiderski RS

157: Chittum2

2026:

141: Echemendia3

149: Swiderski3

157: Johnson4 / ChittumRS

2027

141: Echemendia4

149: Swiderski4

157: Chittum3
