I just took a look at the rule. It is unclear from what I read whether the declaration needs to be before after the event. It just says: The Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement, or a committee designated by it, shall have the authority to waive this provision by a two-thirds majority of its members present and voting to permit student-athletes to participate in...Officially recognized training and competition directly qualifying participants for final Olympic or Paralympic tryouts, or Official tryouts and competition involving national teams sponsored by the appropriate national governing bodies of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee. "to participate" might be viewed as in the future, but not sure. Did he meet any of the criteria like officially recognized training and competition? Or official tryouts and competition? Does the World Team trials count? Do you need to be at an RTC to be officially training? Do you need to show you were training for not-fake wrestling while fake wrestling? More questions, no answers.

Maybe? If he can count 23 as a redshirt and 24 as an Oly redshirt. Don't know the rule there, but off the top of my head I do not recall a restriction.

I look forward to hearing how he got here. By here I mean someone who doesn't matter. From the first big NIL/employment contract, to a slow slide toward irrelevance, to a series of flirtations with returning to the place he has relevance, to a weird backtrack, to a fast slide to finally arrive at irrelevance just in time to miss out by mere weeks a chance to matter again. I would love to here his version of conversations had with WWE bosses and the decisions made. Knowing what both parties know now I have to believe neither would have chosen that contract followed by a waste of so many prime years. No third NCAA title, no World title, no second Olympic title, no WWE success either. At what price?

Don't forget their support staff.

Priorities

So these schools should have the least NIL available because the donors' money went to the endowment. Who has the smallest endowment?

Non-federal would also include state funding.

So he passed up a dollar of income because he would have to give 50 cents of it to Cornell? That doesn't make sense to me.

You completely misread the article. https://usafacts.org/articles/what-do-universities-do-with-the-billions-they-receive-from-the-government/ Revenue from all sources was $1.068 trillion in 2018. Of that, $149 billion, or 14% came from the federal government. Of the $149 billion, 65% (~$97 billion) went to student aid (scholarships, work-study, loans). Another 27% of the $149 billion total ($41 billion) went to fund research. The last 8% of the $149 billion ($11 billion) was for government contracts. The number I posted earlier, $203 billion in 2020, was federal and state government funding, combined. So your trillion dollars is off by a factor of 5.

Guaran-damn-teed

What fun would that be? I want all the drama, all the disfunction, all the highs, and all the lows.

Where did you get 1.4 trillion from? I got $203 billion. https://www.ibisworld.com/us/bed/government-funding-for-universities/4073/#:~:text=Federal%2C state and local grants,the government funding for universities. And the largest endowments are generally at private schools which are not included here.

Any idea if the funding goes to the schools with the largest endowments, or the other way around? Every now and then there is a push to remove the favorable tax treatment endowment investments recieve because too many of them are using too little of the money on student aid. I believe the original argument for favorable taxes was because the money was to be used on financial aid. As far as I know, the largest endowed schools have aleays successfully lobbied against this.

There is a large moral hazard here. Schools have an incentive to raise prices, offer non-marketable degrees, and push govt subsidized loans because there is no economic impact on the school. Student loan programs need re-working that puts at least some of the credit risk back on the schools.

Banks will not give out student loans because they are uncollateralized debt. The equivalent, on a much smaller scale per person, is credit card debt. Banks charge ~25% for credit card balances of much smaller sizes. That is why the govt is involved, to subsidize the loan, or it would not be made.

That feels like best case. Most likely case is he is in even worse shape in four years on top of being four years older.

Weak

Univ of Oklahoma is building a skyscraper?

If TNT somehow thread that needle and pull this off, they may be coaches of the decade. I will take the under, but I am all in on this roller coaster ride.

I am soooooo excited to see what happens there. He is the literal car crash I cannot look away from.

Is it true the Iowa wrestling room has a self driving mode?

Because it is something to bitch about.

They are all Portal U, some on the demand side, more on the supply side.

I wonder about that. I know of one pair of best friends/roommates where one transferred and the other did not. Perhaps their relationship wasn't as deep or as long, but at some point adult considerations begin to trump childhood dreams.

Doesn't it seem like he burns bridges with every possible sponsor, though? There may be a long line, but I think he can get through that line fast.
