Even worse for sports betting. Every bet is considered a session. Nevada federal legislators are crafting a new bill to try to overturn this element.

A late change to the Big Beautiful Bill (I chuckle every time) reduced the deduction for gambling loses to 90% from 100%. Say you won $5k and lost $5k over the course of the year. Previously you would have no reportable net income. Now you will have $500 in taxable income, even though you had no income. My guess is that most casual gamblers do not report either wins or loses on their taxes, so this can seem like a so what. But in the case of an audit you should expect them to look at your online gambling history and hit you with a bill and a fine.

Like Homer Simpson, who invented a meal between breakfast and brunch, I am an innovator.

And another thing.... Its pinfall. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Don't listen to these guys. It's OSU, OSU and OSU. Dealer's choice.

Hold all tickets. Today the Class Counsel took exception to the College Sports Commission's guidance with regard to collectives. “We urge the CSC to retract the July CSC Memorandum and clarify that the valid business purpose requirement applies to NIL collectives in the same manner as any other entity,” the letter said. “If the CSC does not retract the statement, Class Counsel will have no choice but to pursue relief from the Special Master as the July CSC Memorandum is already causing injury to class members.”

Oops Yes, the Banachs too Meaning back-to-back happened in 1982, 1983, and 1984. And each time it was brothers, and only brothers.

can't believe I misspelled Sebastian

prior to 2103 it was scored as a 64 man bracket. So if the bracket had more than 32 wrestlers any non-pigtail winners of a first round match got an extra advancement point just for showing up.

Brothers have won back-to-back six times. MSU's Merle and Burl Jennings in 1942 Oklahoma State's Dwayne and Darrell Keller in 1970 Oklahoma's Dave and Mark Schultz in 1982 Nebraska's Jim and Bill Scherr in 1984 And the aforementioned Brands boys in 1990 and 1992

The lowest seeded pair to win bac-to-back are Oklahoma's Mike Sage (US) and Jerry Staley (6) in 1964

Everyone's favorite topic. House Settlement The deadline to file an appeal of the House Settlement was July 7. Seven appeals have been filed. Three are based on Title IX claims, two are based on the revenue cap, and two are based on the damages distribution. One of the damage distribution appeals was made by wrestling's own Sebastion Rivera and Ryan Deakin. Go get em boys. NIL Go Gone and Went After Collectives The College Sports Commission issued guidance yesterday and what will, and will not, be approved. The took square aim at the collectives. https://www.collegesportscommission.org/nil/ From their website: "An entity with a business purpose of providing payments or benefits to student-athletes or institutions, rather than providing goods or services to the general public for profit, does not satisfy the valid business purpose requirement set forth in NCAA Rule 22.1.3. The requirement is not met even if the particular deal with the student-athlete purports to provide goods or services to the general public. For example, a NIL collective that has a business purpose to pay student-athletes associated with a particular school or schools does not satisfy Rule 22.1.3 when it reaches a deal with a student-athlete to make an appearance on behalf of the collective at an event even if that event is open to the general public and the collective charges an admission fee (e.g., a golf tournament)." Congress shoots, but do they SCORE? From The Athletic: "A bill designed to end ambiguity surrounding name, image and likeness (NIL), establish professional guidelines for agents and protect collegiate leagues from antitrust lawsuits received a strong endorsement from a bipartisan group of nine congressional representatives Thursday. The Student Compensation and Opportunity through Rights and Endorsements (SCORE) Act, which was introduced in the Energy and Commerce subcommittee, prevents athletes from obtaining employee status. But in many ways, the act is the first step in establishing a bill of rights for athletes." The article goes on to say the goal of the legislation is to make all the various state laws moot by replacing them with a single federal regulation. It seems like this would also trump the House Settlement if passed.

In addition to the three timers here are the two-timers (same two/three): In 1949-1950 Northern Iowa's Keith Young, Bill Nelson, and Bill Smith went back-to-back-to-back, back-to-back In 1990 and again in 1992 Iowa's Tom and Terry Brands went back-to-back In 2017 -2018 PSU's Zain Retherford, Jason Nolf, and Vincezo Joseph matched the UNI trio by going back-to-back-to-back, back-to-back In 2021-2022 PSU's Roman Bravo Young and Nick Lee went back-to-back, bac-to-back

Any chance you are there with @BobDole? No one has seen him around here in days.

23 other wrestlers have been involved in two streaks

Jack VanBebber and Conrad Caldwell (Oklahoma Stat 1929 - 1931), Ross Flood and Rex Peery (Oklahoma Stat 1933 - 1935), Carter Starocci and Aaron Brooks (PSU 2021 - 2023) are the only pairs to do it three times.

Aaron Brooks is the ultimate glue guy as the only wrestler to be involved in 4 career streaks. Twice with Carter Starocci. Once with Carter Starocci and Max Dean. Once with Greg Kerkvliet.

13 of the 71 streaks were 3 or more in a row. Oklahoma has the most (4,3,3,3,3) with 5 (Oklahoma State also once had 4 out of 5) Followed by PSU (5, 3, 3) at 3 And Northern Iowa (3,3) at 2 Iowa, Iowa State and Michigan State each had a single 3 match streak.

Got busy with work. I won't let it happen again. Still can't post attachments, but can type out some stats (and maybe some ugly excel copy/paste) There have been 71 back-to-back (or greater) champions from the same school in tournament history. 16 schools have achieved the feat. School Streaks Oklahoma State - 18 Iowa - 12 Penn State - 11 Iowa State - 8 Oklahoma - 6 Michigan State - 3 Northern Iowa - 3 Nebraska - 2 Clarion - 1 Wisconsin - 1 Cal State-Bakersfield - 1 Arizona State - 1 Ohio State - 1 Illinois - 1 Minnesota - 1 Cornell - 1

Except I think you may have fallen for an AI hallucination again.

Not a sportsmanship award. If it were there is no way he wins it.

I will take a look tomorrow, vut I can't post any attachments until I get a clean up from Bobbie D.

Amen

Yeah, like I said. Rumors.

@Caveira has a maniacal obsession with PSU to the point he should seek professional help. He came on here to accuse PSU fans of being vile by using Tweets. Not the words of PSU fans on this board. Tweets. How does he know they are PSU fans making those comments? It is not like it is a wrestling message board where there is self-selection. It is Twitter, home to every misogynist whack job on the planet. For all we know it is a chatbot spitting out the hate. Last week Grok started calling itself MechaHitler and argued for mass exterminations. Leave the Twitter hate on Twitter. Or, @Caveira, if you really want to be a crusader for social justice, quit hiding on Intermat with your criticism of people elsewhere. Go on Twitter and let those haters know what you really think. Get in their DMs. Talk some sense into them. I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised by their willingness to listen to your reasonable takes..
