I didn't watch the video. Is Tom mad that his wrestlers broke a NCAA rule, that they were caught, or that only 2 Iowa schools were caught by the Iowa authorities doing the investigation?

The Lady Hawkeyes have been stacking their roster with #1 prospects, over and over. They will likely dominate their first season and as THE ONLY POWER 5 women's program they are going to become an instant dynasty. It's likely starting this year they will win the team title for the next several decades (assuming no other POWER 5 teams also field women's teams). So let's say the Lady Hawkeyes win the next 5-10 women's titles in a row. Meanwhile the Iowa men remain a solid team, finishing 2-4 for the next decade. Is it possible women's wrestling becomes BIGGER than men's at the University of Iowa?

How did you become such a fan of the sport then?

I was a high school JV superstar.

Is it confirmed he's getting paid 6 figures to come back?

It doesn't make Minny a title contender. Gable won't be challenged and will easily win another HWT title. No one will blink if he does, but if he loses it will be like Spencer getting pinned by Ramos. Is he getting a huge NIL payment? If not, I can't imagine how it makes sense as an Olympic Champion and 2x NCAA champ and current WWE wrestler to come back to college. He could have at least joined Iowa and made the team race interesting. If anything coming back is, at best, a lateral move and more realistically, a demotion.

They should reverse all penalties immediately.

He's got a former NCAA champ in Lewis to contend with

Looking at the rankings I think he is. #2 at the weight is Beau Bartlett who Woods had always beaten convincingly. Most other weights have multiple NCAA champs or a very good 2nd place guy (like Fix to Vito). Some might say Aaron Brooks but he's also jumping up to 197.

The surprising thing is that he said training at Penn State was easier than high school. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CzEgKcquZyI/?hl=en

You seem to be an Iowa hater.

If UFC offers him a big contract to do MMA it'll be worth a lot more than the prestige of being the first 5xer.

How do you figure? He literally said it was his final year.

He will not try and become the first 5x NCAA D1 champ.

To answer my own question Jeff Monson was only 4-3 in the UFC. Not really an impressive record. https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/fighters/jeff-monson-the-snowman

What about his UFC record?

How'd he do in the UFC?

What's the joke? It's based on frame size / height.

Well it worked for Max for 1 year. The next year he struggled and I think his lack of length was a factor.

Based on frame 174 Brooks 184 Starocci 197 Truax would make the most sense.

A more direct comparison: Brooks side by side with A.J. Ferrari. Even putting asside the hair A.J. has at least 2" on Brooks.

Look at this photo. Brooks at 184 is noticeably shorter than O'Toole 165, Starocci 174 and 6" shorter than Nino Bonacorris at 197. Parris may be close to a head taller than Brooks. O'Toole is listed at 6'0 so I estimate that Brooks is no taller than 5'10. A typical 197 pounder like Tanner Sloan is 6'2. Brooks is amazing and strength won't be a problem at 197 but I can't help but wonder if his lack of length will be an issue against the longer 197 pounders.

Brooks has the toughest road assuming A.J. makes 197 for the Hawks.

He talks too much about his faith and Jesus?
