I know I'm not eggsactly president of the Carter Starocci fan club but, if I'm following the events correctly, Beau made his post after a couple fans attacked his wife for posting that it was nice to see Dake win (as opposed to Carter) or something. He then alludes to a particular individual in the PSU room that was engaging in bullying and other toxic behavior. Am I overly reaching when I think that the person Beau is referring to maybe is the person that Dake wrestled against (Carter) and his wife was happy to see not win? Admittedly, I think it's possible I'm getting ahead of myself but there is not much else to go off of. 

That’s my read of it too. Disappointing.

Jimmy is slacking today. I expected two new threads by now..

"Is Ferrari the favorite next year at HWT?"

and "Will Beau Bartlett end the PSU era?... If Beau exposes what's been going on behind the scenes at PSU, will Cael be fired and the PSU era be over?"

He's the biggest drama queen ever if thats the case, he all but explicitly says there is some sort of massive cover up going on...PED use would be my guess.

I did not get the impression he was talking about PED’s at all.  He was talking about “intimidation” and such

Is bullying not hazing?   I didn’t make the accusation.    Some 24 year old post grad 6th year or so senior did.   Apparently.

He also talks about “things women have gone through due to this individual” which doesn’t sound good

well as your theory implies he was borderline criminal in his ambiguity...which is pretty lame because it feels like he's hoping he someone else will blow the whistle and let him take credit.

He said something in his post.   This is paraphrasing mind you.   He doesn’t yet have the courage to share the whole story……   So one day.  We may get to hear it.   
 

was the bwi thread taken down.  I looked briefly and didn’t see it.

he even said he reported whatever it was to “officials” and they didn’t do anything.

I think I've argued about this a dozen times.....is it a hot take if I say this whole thing is a bad look for Bartlett? 

Unfortunately I have to admit Id be perversely satisfied is PSU got knocked down a tier by a scandal....but this just wreaks of Bartlett whining on his way out the door...likely because they didn't care to pay enough to keep him around.

Keep in mind that every single person on the USPS team said Lance Armstrong did the same thing. Forced everyone to shut up and take PEDs through intimidation tactics. If you weren't in on it then you were blacklisted from the sport and your career was over.

I doubt Beau is referring to a guy intimidating him by chest bumping him into lockers at practice; it reads like more than some high school bully situation.

Some on bwi who are “supposed fans” are trashing him.   Good to know some of their fan base is toxic and treats their peeps like that.

I've heard that there was a serious beef between Bartlett and Starocci regarding Bartlett's girlfriend with Starocci's opinion that Bartlett was more concerned about her than wrestling i.e. Bartlett wasn't putting in the extra effort to be a champ.  Carter allegedly said some really crude/rude comments about her

There were a lot of rumors around December/January that a girlfriend was causing issues for a Penn State wrestler if anyone remembers.

Interesting... Sounds like there's serious toxicity they're covering up and potential harassment / abuse issues if I had to guess. Due to the reference of certain people treating women and others terribly.

Psu admin/faculty learned their lesson and don’t do cover ups.  If Beau repeated something Henious…. I’m sure the authorities didn’t sweep it under the rug?

I would say it would be a bad look if he never reported anything previously.  He’s saying he did.

I’d bet he got a decent offer to stay.  He strikes me as someone that would want to move to a real city after college though.

Given that Bartlett raised the issue with higher-ups and it was not addressed makes me think it's someone more influential than a fellow team member - maybe a coach.

the previous report is a meaningful distinction. 

I doubt the 2nd part, keep in mind thats money that can go to recruits, but I have no clue.
