That's why I always go a week or so early to explore. I really wanted to explore all of Croatia but didn't want to rent a car. I'll just explore Zagreb and some other localish stuff for a week before it starts. I'm going to train over to Italy and hang out there for a week after. My flights are actually in and out of Rome because it's less than half the cost of flying direct to Croatia.

I’ll be out there the 8th-22nd. Got a hostel near the city center.

I’ll be there!

You don’t have to be in the portal to transfer. The portal allows you to be recruited by others. If they want to go they would be able to. Just enroll at Northern Colorado.

You don’t have to be in the transfer portal to transfer. Arnold can go anywhere he wants and be eligible as long as he meets the academic progress requirements. The portal just allows you to be recruited. He isn’t going to have a problem transferring or having a roster spot unless he has academic issues.

Yep. That’s correct. It was created to help streamline the transfer process for schools and athletes and allow other schools of your intention to transfer so they may recruit you. It isn’t a requirement to transfer to another school though. You can’t be recruited if you don’t enter the portal.

You don't have to enter the portal to transfer. You can enroll in any school you want and be eligible (if you meet the continuing eligibility rules). The transfer portal merely allows other schools to contact you.

@WrestlingRecords.com may be able to help with some of that. I know he has quite a bit of individual results from old US Opens.

As someone that lives in a rare disease space, insurance companies don't need a legit reason to deny you. They just will because they don't want to pay for it. They are there to make money and nothing else. They hope you don't continue pushing for it and just deal with it. I can't tell you all the things I've seen denied that are basic medical necessities.

I'm also going to be adding in pages for each national tournament. Check out the 1928 page. I would love any feedback you've got. I'm trying to keep it simple and straight-forward.

I just threw up a new database that has all ~40k matches that have taken place at the NCAA D1 championships. Check it out here. I just noticed the search and filter aren't working. I'm going to have to reach out to try and figure out why. Enjoy!

What if I told you that unless there is bad weather, a lot of workers actually like the carts scattered about because it allows them to be outside for a while and get exercise?

Social, Emotional, & Physical maturity. I drove to college on my 18th birthday. Being pushed back a year before the 6th grade would've done wonders for me in those areas. I would've hated it if I did it after that point.

Why wouldn't they? They have no control over what he does after commits. They have no way to hold him to it.

You mean Stanford?

What are the numbers behind that belief?

That’s more an issue of needing better recruiting than not enough women.

The scholarships is a separate thing. They got rid of scholarship limits in all sports and instead went to a roster limit. Wrestling has a roster limit of 30. Schools can now offer anywhere from 0-30 scholarships now instead of the previous 9.9 scholarships and "unlimited" rosters. The revenue sharing agreement allows schools to provide up to 20.5 million (rising in future years) to their athletes. They can split it up however they want. Most of that will be for Football, Men's/Women's bball. He is saying that Cael opted to have the school give him 30 scholarships instead of providing any of that revenue sharing to his athletes.

3x2 minute periods Best 2 of wins First point scored is tiebreaker Incentivize scoring by the more points you score the more bonus money you make (I don’t know what payouts will be but something like $500 a point scored. So someone the scores 10 points walks away with 5k win or lose.) Must be a new hold to score No correct throws 125/140/155/165/180/195/215/235/+ After a TD occurs go to Greco par terre rules for bottom (no grabbing or impeding the legs). —————— Random thoughts… Score enhancers like each period someone picks a increased value or the first 30 and last 30 scores are doubled Team matches where each matchup only wrestles a single period at a time through the lineup. There can be anywhere from 2 on a team to however many weights there are. For example, with the first three weights- 125 guys wrestle a period then the 135 guys then 145 guys. Then repeat that.

Even if he signed something he can't be held to it. He could still go somewhere else without issues.

Smaller schools are enrollment drive. They need programs to get people to enroll. If they already have a men’s team it makes a lot of sense to add because they already have the facilities there.

Because you aren’t locked in until you show up for classes. You can say you’re attending a new school everyday. Doesn’t matter until you actually do.

Yep

Who is to say it is even a super serious injury? It could be a sprained ankle or a broken hand or pulled hamstring. All of which will be plenty healed in time for worlds. If it is serious enough to come back before World's, then Jax will end up being the replacement.

When he isn't getting paid a ton of money to do it.
