flyingcement Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 My guess is that these seven were eliminated on the basis of not having not contacted Bassett right away or within 48 hours. In fairness, I wouldn't have thought these teams would allocate their finite resources toward making calls to unrealistic guys, but I'm not expert there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingcement Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Next seven? Pitt Johnstown Wisconsin Parkside Millersville West Liberty Gardner-Webb Bloomsburg Cal State Bakersfield Also certain schools like the military academies will not just accept him because he's a great wrestler. he will need to stoop to the level of obtaining congressional support for his nomination, as well as academic, and character-based attributes. Other schools like Harvard, Stanford, Princeton probably don't care as much about his wrestling and would be unlikely to admit him on that basis only unless his academics are truly outstanding. So the notion of having it all be up to him is also incorrect, but could still be a fun exercise to play out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HokieDave87 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 I posted this in another thread. I like Bo, think he gets way too much hate and I get what he's trying to do but this is a little much. He should've started with like 20-25 realistic programs and narrowed down by a smaller number instead of implying UW-Parkside is in the mix.

Think of the following such a guy could achieve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo has 106k followers on IG. He's making money doing IG. Why would he not promote his account? Why would Flo not capitalize on his fame and make money of their own off him? flo should be making better content bassett can do what he wants, but social media prowess isnt a virtue no one is ignorant as to the benefits "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."

This type of reaction is exactly what he wants, so if anything you should be thanking the people here. You see it all the time where somebody puts out content that is annoying or unpopular to increase attention and engagement. The people pointing out how annoying the behavior is are actually helping the person doing the trolling. So the posters here are only helping drive traffic/engagement to somebody who is obviously just attention trolling.

You all say you like AJ's posts and his antics are good for the sport, it gets eyes on wrestling. Then Bo does something as harmless as this and you all rage. Your priorities here are all out of whack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that you're correct in the sense that views are good, but as a larger non-Bassett related statement, I don't think the cultural shift of justifying things solely on that has been a good societal trend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
