But he couldn't have started at his preferred weight. That should be enough to satisfy your original criteria. Saying he could beat the guy who couldn't beat Nick Lee and had to wrestle a weight he was too small for, is way less interesting.

Playing a little fast and loose by putting him at a weight he never wrestled.

I just looked it up. All the court has done so far is deny the NCAAs motion to dismiss the case. Here is a good summary from a law firm https://www.venable.com/insights/publications/2025/01/johnson-v-ncaa-student-athlete-employment#:~:text=As we've previously written,institutions pursuant to the FLSA. From the article: On July 11, 2024, the Third Circuit affirmed, in part, the decision of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania denying the NCAA's motion to dismiss. The Third Circuit agreed with the district court that the former student athletes could potentially be classified as employees under the FLSA, but remanded the case and directed the district court to apply the multi-factor economic realities test to determine if the former student athletes were properly classified as employees. So, not employees yet, but could potentially be in the future.

I read the post, but haven't read the ruling yet.

Sebastian Rivera couldn't beat Nick Lee, but he won an Olympic bronze.

He turned invisible, and that is illegal in wrestling. He shoulda been DQ'd there. That's gold, Jerry, gold.

First, the NCAA has faught tooth and nail to say they are not employees. And so far they have succeeded at that. They do not want to offer health insurance or allow the athletes to unionize. Second, the athletes are not property or investments. Therefore, the schools are not owed compensation if they leave. But even if they become employees it will be employmemt at will, meaning the schools are free to fire them any time and the athletes are free to quit at any time. If they sign contracts that say otherwise, then those terms will govern. But you cannot expect compensation for losing something you never owned.

Fun fact. Until this year Cael was the only Cael to have AAed.

The Democrat "strategy" absolutely is not working. And to call it a strategy is generous. There appears to be no strategy other than some individuals trying to "Boost Their Brand".

She's got one Cool Hand.

But five years ago the rules were stupid. We all said so then, so why romanticize it now?

Who says wrestling popularity is slipping? 31,209 votes cast with a day still to go. Last year total votes was 26,928. +16%. Growth sport.

So good.

I have a friend in the Bahraini embassy who says PSU is working on a student visa. No idea who that is for.

If anyone could have done it, it would have been Myles Amine. Seven years, but only five AAs.

Four timer 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023

I am with you there.

That makes two of us.

whatever

Dude, I wasn't doing tough guy schtick. Check you DM.

No, I am literally saying he is a legend. Look him up.

It's there. You just have to squint.

If your definition of a coach lacking loyalty is if a wrestler transfers out, then name a coach who is loyal. They are all disloyal by that definition. Is Brands disloyal? He brought in three one year guys and saw three wrestlers depart as a result. How about Taylor? He brought in a bunch of transfers over previous starters. What about Manning? He brought in Davis over another wrestler. How about Ryan? He had the highest ranked recruiting classes two years and those guys took spots from wrestlers who were already there. What I am saying is your definition of loyalty is ludicrous.
