Not hard to set up, but it would have to be a whole new league with more limited participation, since there aren't 15 teams. I'm not sure I have the inclination or time to do the B1G one, but if someone else wants to run one, I'm sure there'd be interest.

It's $20 for NCAAs. I hadn't planned on doing one for B1Gs.

My Venmo is

Confirmed. You're on my list (in a positive way).

We're at 12 people who have confirmed they would like to play again, 6 of whom have paid to reserve their spot. We haven't heard from @goheels1812, @Jerry Callo, or @idc2 yet. All returners get first dibs BUT IF YOU HAVEN'T PAID BY 3/11, I WILL OPEN IT UP TO THE WAITING LIST. Waiting on payments from @MPhillips, @flyingcement, @nhs67, @Perry, @Antitroll2828, and @jajensen09 Our waiting list is currently (in order of who put their name in the hat): @steamboat_charlie, @FanOfPurdueWrestling, and @Truzzcat. @Tigerfan has kind of hinted at it, but hasn't outright said if he wants to be in or not.

I've already had a couple of requests for after 3/15, erego the window starting on 3/16.

Got it. Make sure you put your handle in the "what's this for?" line.

I'm waiting for more input from the participants, but the window is from 3/16-3/19.

Got it. Ignore my message on venmo. You're good.

Let's start getting the money in to reserve spots. Venmo me like last year, @ Michael-Novak-33. We're paying out to team trophy, which is top 3. I believe we did $20 last year.

Gilman Khan mocking someone for not wrestling match 2 when he didn't even show up for match 1 is objectively hilarious.

Meh. I want better sport. The sport is enhanced by having more high level athletes competing in it. In my mind, we're better off having Gomez rep Mexico then whomever they would put out in normal circumstances. Also, it's not really cheating so much as one might argue a lack of competitive spirit.

What's the cheating? Repping a different country?

Valencia looking...thick.

Penn State lets America down again. #Sad

Not even specifically Iowa, any Big 10 wrestler! This is more common for like a SOCON wrestler. More of a curiosity than anything, though. As I (and others, including yourself) have noted, he doesn't really have the wins. Interesting thought experiment, how high could he rise after B1Gs if he beats Smith (possible, but I would pick Smith)? What if he scored the upset over Brooks (highly, highly unlikely)? I would say a win over Smith is unlikely to get him over 6-7, and a win over Brooks still unlikely to get him any higher than 3.

Is this a first? I'm not knocking the ranking, either, it's true he hasn't earned much higher, though he didn't have much opportunity.

Was there an episode today? Nothing uploaded on my podcast app.

What does that entail? Apparently some people watched our draft play out last year?

Where are you seeing the coaches ranking? All I'm seeing is that they stopped releasing them at 197.

Seems like Iowa is rolling out Bradley Hill, based on the allocations.

I don't mind it being there for the discussion. If @BobDole or @Husker_Du want to move this thread to the main college board, that's fine. Is anybody other than @Antitroll2828 thinking a Zoom might be difficult for them. We can probably work around a couple of people not being there, but if like half the draft can't be there, it defeats a lot of the purpose, IMO.

As to the number of teams, 15 is my absolute max. I'm willing to fill the draft back out if everybody doesn't want back in, but I may not go all the way back up to 15. Right now we're at 9 confirmed.

Right now, for the draft, we're looking at March 16-19 as the window where it has to happen. If we do it on 3/16 or 3/17, it could theoretically be done at earlier hours.

Pretty reliable source for football fans weighs in.
