Was the nickname invented for Kyle Snyder or was it applied to tons of other people before and now after Snyder? Any athlete (or more likely fan) claiming rights to the captain america nickname is absurd.

Your question was which wrestler monetized their likeness. You got multiple answers. You responded to those answers by telling us nobody is getting 100-250K. Then you said that was the number being discussed. But you're the only one to bring that number up. You are bringing up a random number that isn't connected to anything in the thread, and then you are firing back at anyone that won't engage on your ever moving terms. If you want to talk about how NIL isn't really NIL, and how it's really pay for play, then just say it. Don't use riddles and passive aggressive replies to drag the thread to what you want to talk about.

Where did I ever say anything about hundreds of thousands of dollars? Or Buchanan? If you wanted to beat up a strawman, you didn't need to quote me to do it.

There are a ton of wrestlers mentioning products to social media followers. That is by far the most common way to monetize your likeness.

Why would we want to tell a student how they can monetize their likeness? Why would we want to limit them from receiving money for any wrestling related reason?

It's hilarious how invested fan bases and even wrestlers are in the idea that they don't offer as much money as other schools.

If this is real. I don't think 15th in their weight class recruits are really getting any real money that would result in a negotiator. This looks more like someone who thinks the state of NIL is sad so they are making up a super sad story. But if they're serious, they should receive about 2 pizzas for their work setting up the NIL deal for a mid level freshman wrestling recruit.

I agree stalling is a judgement call. It is still called wrong extremely often. Judgement doesn't equal opinion.

The worst was his challenge in a match they were winning, and the challenge resulted in losing points and eventually losing the match. That might have been the most active negative I've ever seen from a coach in a wrestling match. If he just skips work that day Cannon beats Fish.

I think his neutral defense would hold up. I don't think he'd be as good picking up riding time.

And an Olympian in FS and world team member in GR. How many guys have made both teams? And of that number how many weren't heavyweights?

It doesn't take Confucius level wisdom to laugh at a post that says don't procreate and says the other guy's demeanor is bad. I'll take your word that the other guy was bad first, and I'll still chuckle at the post.

Quit getting in the way with facts.

The lack of self awareness in this post is awesome.

Yep. It's very different than the past when we had lots of parity and tons of teams winning titles...

This might help seeds. I don't think that's a good enough reason to stop the little wrestling media we have from publishing rankings (which are probably their #1 generator of traffic).

I think kids should do what's best for them. And I won't tell this kid what's best for him based on my rooting interests or what I think is best for college wrestling.

They have Merrill who beat Salazar and lost 2-0 to Buchanon while RSing his true freshman year. They have no room and no need for Carrol at 197.

Thanks for giving us the pretend insiders view of what he's doing.

I think this entire forum is one or two idiots with a dozen screen names each having a conversation with themselves. It's sad that this is what we get after the national tournament.

Jamison is at 141. There are far bigger holes.

They have an actual dominance statistic and Messenbrink didn't have a more dominant season. You can make a good argument for Starocci. You can't make a good argument for Messenbrink by criteria. You have to ignore the criteria to make him better than 3rd.

This is a huge stretch and not sure where it comes from. According to the Hodge website; Record is a wash. Pins is advantage Hendrickson. Dominance is advantage Hendrickson. Past credentials is advantage Starocci and MM. Quality of competition is advantage Starocci and Hendrickson. Sportsmanship is no advantage anywhere. You can reasonably say Starocci is more deserving according to the conversation. You could also reasonably say Hendrickson. I have no idea how you just declare that Messenbrink is more deserving than Starocci when the criteria are available and they do not add up that way.

I'm a big fan, but wrestling fans do not really embrace Bo. He's a terrible example to use to try to question why fans weren't on Gable's side last night (I also love Gable). Wrestling fans don't love wrestlers who leave wrestling early.

He looks like he ate one of the guys from Top Gun Maverick.
