While you're at it, can we get rid of the stupid bob dole face as the default reaction? It was funny for about 5 seconds but time to move back to the standard thumbs-up.

please say more. the country was founded on limited gov…

You certainly understand that you are making shit up for clicks? Pay your damn debts. Maybe then we can get fewer ads.

So, not NIL. Got it. Also not a college topic. Check.

What country is he transferring to?

The Democratic proposal to tax unrealized gains is an incredibly bad idea. The current proposal is on anyone worth more than $100 million with at least 80% of their worth in liquid assets. There are almost too many things wrong with this to list, but hear goes. - There is no way over time that $100 million will remain the limit. It will soon be $10 million, then $1 million, then $500k, etc. Governments have zero discipline. A new kind of revenue will always be grown. And the only exemption will be for legislators. - The value of illiquid assets will suddenly become the province of the one entity that stands to gain from inflating that opinion. The moral hazard here is clear. - The value used for liquid assets will also be incorrect. For valuation purposes of equities, for example, we use the closing price. But this is typically the price of buying or selling a very small number of shares. Anyone covered by the tax will likely own a large number of shares. Forced selling to meet a tax obligation will depress those shares, meaning more shares will need to be sold to raise 25% of the incorrect value, meaning the effective tax will be greater than 25%. Meanwhile, all of our shares will also be worth less, and not for economic reasons. - Anyone wealthy enough to be covered by the tax initially is also wealthy enough to leave the country. Capital flight will be real. - The incentive is perverse. One theory of taxation is you tax the thing you want less of. Similar to tariffs, it makes the thing more expensive and incentivizes people to seek alternatives. The alternative to investing is consuming. And like tariffs it makes the alternative more expensive by removing competitive pressure. So we consume more at inflated prices, so we get less. I am sure there are other reasons as well that I haven't thought of. What say all of you?

Maybe she ate there during college. Does that count.

She’s been lying for over 20 years https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNEJguWQ/

Some will get a kick out of this. I thought it was fake when I saw a vid on it at first. Lol

Wrong. Only Iowa does bad things regarding nil and portal

She is so unbelievably bad at lying I don't know how she has been a politician this long. At least Biden had his age to blame for his cognitive decline, what the hell is her excuse?

Voters and the media are ok that there are people behind the scenes running the puppet show. Kamala will spend as much time on vacation as Biden.

Ben Askren, a pretty good wrestler and coach, doesn't seem to be a fan of holding kids back. I know he definitely feels NOT being held back helped him in the long run. His belief is that graduating on time gave him quicker access to tougher training partners, D1 competition, D1 training and facilities, and D1 coaching (although he had a great high school coach.) He felt that getting all that stuff a year earlier (actually on time) put him ahead of many of his contemporaries.

Maybe Rasta was in the wedding last night and hasn't made the morning news. Didn't think about that did ya.

So voting for Kamala doesn't mean she's stupid she's voting for Kamala because she is stupid.

Just watched that a few minutes ago. I'm reminded of the Al Bundy line, "It's not the shoes to make you look fat, its the fat that makes you look fat"

Lying to win an election are some great values. We should all aspire to such great values.

I thought psu didn’t pay the big bucks. They just have fun. Weird. Did Cstar get held back?

Here is another example of people needing to think critically about what the media is telling you. US Army rebukes Trump campaign for incident at Arlington National Cemetery | CNN Politics It is crazy how this got turned into a Political incident because Trumps team was taking pictures that the Gold Star family asked for. My guess is the cemetery employee who claims was "pushed aside" hates Trump and turned this into a bigger deal than it needed to be. Will be interesting to see if the video comes about what really happened.

This right here, what @Interviewed_at_Weehawken said is spot on. Colleges, Universities, and the NCAA asymmetrically benefitted from a contrived moniker of "amateur" for many decades, using this to pretend that the education they weren't giving their athletes was actually worth something. That entire era was hot garbage for athletes. Schools could and did behave any way they wanted towards their athletes. Administrators weren't and still aren't held to any moral standards or codes, they just get paid to keep the money machine running. Being an AD is really an in-house tv negotiations and PR exec position at the big schools. Maurice Clarett is a perfect example. He didn't play ball with the Ohio State AD, got railroaded out of a very lucrative career bc he wouldn't kiss the ring. Kids are finally getting what they are worth in the market, and institutions which have done everything in their power to arrange asymmetric agreements with everyone they do business with throughout history (hello student loans being resilient to bankruptcy) are just salty they have lost hold of power they once had. TV and the NCAA did a great snow job on us, and yes old school games and matches were fun to watch, but let's not pretend that just bc we like watching college sports that it was any sort of fair and equitable arrangement for the athletes. Our enjoyment and pleasure on saturday evenings in front of the television came at the expense of thousands of young people's health and futures. NIL, while different, does right by the people creating the entertainment product and putting their bodies and their health on the line. That is 100% the way it should be.

They can have my bourbon when they pry it from my cold, dead hands. Which, given the volume of bourbon we are talking about, may be soon.

Burr

Here's a real world example. Let say ~30 years ago I bought some farm land for $1,500/ac and its now worth $16,500/ac. In this theoretical example I've been paying the property taxes on the increasing assessed value every year along with the increasing income taxes every year. Now I'm faced with taxes on an unrealized $3M gain. How am I going to pay that? Now you could say doesn't apply since not a liquid asset but just like the $100M to $1M to &500k as Wkn indicated once politicians get their claws in a new revenue stream they will just keep expanding. But to the liquid asset point. Let's say Wkn drives down to Kentucky to purchase a full barrel of his favorite bourbon. But let's be real, if he makes the drive he's gonna fill the truck with four barrels, but I digress. As soon as he leaves the distillery for some reason that bourbon just went up in value 50%. Liquid assets, tax law applies to Wkn when is he going to pay the tax? Will he try to consume before filling taxes? Now you might ask how long would it take Wkn to consume a full barrel of bourbon but thats not the point.

Who better to coach Fix to beat Gilman than Gilman himself? Gilman knows Gilman better than anyone. If anything, Fix having Gilman as his coach is unfair for Gilman.

suspending the constitution? how so? i know the dems want to get rid of the 1A and 2A as far as screaming how bad the country is... that's dems for the most part. 'the usa is racist, blah blah blah. Im gonna move it trump is elected etc MOVE. of course they didn't. but if you look, there are some horrible things going on... mostly ... b/c of their policies this is where make america great AGAIN comes from...

He has a Psychology degree from Stanford. If his plans are medical school, he could have been taking Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Calculus, Physics, etc at Iowa to prepare for the MCAT. That would not be a specific degree program necessarily.

He competed two seasons at Iowa after graduating from Stanford.

I mean. Would you ban fracking? The look on her face when getting called out for lying lol https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNE8AJyG/

Bobsledding.

Did you just type the word 'lying' unironically? I hope so, because that is the best delivered and funniest joke I have heard in awhile. Thank you.

Taking acting class with the suriano

The BobDole is a combination of the old wtf & The is a combination of the old Thanks &

I'm still seeing a lot of discussion elsewhere about why people are mad at all the transfers, and something occurred to me about why I get worried about high reliance on transfers. Transfers are good, but they also have a way of hollowing out a program. It turns into a revolving door of just purchasing wrestlers, as opposed to actually recruiting and developing. It never really occurred to me until earlier today, transfers aren't anything new, and I don't recoil at the concept of early-career transfers, but I do recoil at the concept of filling a roster with late stage transfers who have limited eligibility left, because I worry about the innate ability for the Iowa program to sustain itself and develop nationally competitive wrestlers. There are certain stalwart programs that are a bellwether of health of the sport overall, and Iowa running on transfers to me looks like the wheels starting to wobble because in-house development isn't going well. Ultimately, our sport is one that runs on healthy, competitive rooms. Reliance on transfers feels like an NFL lineman just pounding Toradol ignoring issues that are cropping up. The bill comes due eventually, just a matter of when you pay it, and how large it is.

I just don't know what half the emojis even mean. I'm sure they're hilarious for some, but a simple Facebook-like thumbs-up as the default is best. And to the people giving the Bob Dole reaction to my above post, I see you (and still don't know what it means).

Flipping your proposal also works. Tweak the NCAA weights to follow the UWW weights. They're already pretty close, though we all know that the extra pound or two feels like a huge difference when cutting weight 126 135 141 150 159 165 174 185 198 276

Lying is a great value to have. We should all aspire to have those values.

She was almost apologetic when she was asking Kamala and Tim questions. You could see it in her face.

spot the difference... lol

speaking of NOTHING burger it's coming out that harris DIDN"T even work at mcdonalds. maybe she meant mcdowells

The answer is no. However, I am tired of the government creating these problems. Close the border and stop letting all of these criminals in. What is the end goal? They can't vote right?

i agree trump lies. i have admitted that. what most dems here dont... is that harris and walz lie constantly... they belong together... here she admits another lie/coverup to the country

I don't really agree with this. I follow what people are trying to say, but I think it cherry picks the data by removing wrestlers like Lawson, Kerkvliet and Mesenbrink from the analysis and turns a more general point into a PSU point. There is a selection bias to the transfers that go to big schools like PSU, Iowa, and Michigan. They are mostly not top 20 guys out of high school that made significant improvement in college and are transferring at a high point. The improvement left to make is the most difficult and there is plenty of room to go down. Still they get better on average Which school has done better with transfers? PSU: Sanderson, Long, Lawson, Cortez, Kuhn, Conel, Kerkvliet, Dean, Hildebrandt, Mesenbrink, Nagao, Truax. 11AAs, 2 Titles, 6 years of eligibility remaining at PSU Iowa: Lugo, DeSanto, Eierman, Teske, Swafford, Woods, Franek, Caliendo, Voinovich, Parco, Teemer, Buchanan, Joey Cruz 9AAs, 0 titles, 10 years of eligibility remaining at Iowa. OSU: Caldwell, White, Smith, Geer, Young, Spratley, Jamison, Olejnik, Amine, Fish, Hamiti, Hendrickson 7 AAs, 0 titles, 12 years of eligibility remaining at OSU. Michigan: Micic, Storr, Finesilver, Brucki, Suriano, Davison, Cannon, DeAugustino, Griffith, Saldate, Cardenas 6AAs, 1 title, 4 years of eligibility remaining at Michigan Bold= transferred after AA placement at previous institution Italic = transferred after national title at previous institution

Growing up, it was regular for this to be done for very competitive guys. I knew quite a few 16 year old high school freshman

Quality people? Did you watch the CNN interview? They are both in way over their head and kept getting caught in their own lies. If last night was any indication she will be backing out of the debates.

So you prefer a career politician like Biden who has been there for 40+ years and made millions off of being bought for political influence? Got it. I don't know if you know this or not but Russia and Ukraine had already signed a peace deal but the Biden administration pressured them into ripping it up. Trump will take care of it when he gets into office. He doesn't like to launder billions of tax dollars to foreign countries to keep them quiet about his dirty dealings during his time as VP.

What a joke

I think it goes like this: 2021 - free COVID year 2022 - used 1st year of eligibility by participating in >30% of competitions AND started the clock on his 5 year window to use 4 years. 2023 - 5 year window still running, this is year two. Technically not a redshirt since he was not on a roster. 2024 - possible oly redshirt or year 2 of eligibility, AND either the window pauses with the ORS or year 3 of 5 year window. 2025 - either year 2 or 3 of eligibility, AND either year 3 or 4 of the 5 year window. 2026 - either year 3 or year 4 of eligibility, AND either year 4 or year 5 of the 5 year window. 2027 - either year 4 or awaiting entry into the Oklahoma, Iowa, California, and National HOF's, AND either year 5 of the 5 year window or he is working on that 666th pound.

Johnny D is out with a torn labrum in his shoulder. More accurately he just had surgery to repair it.
