The optimism surrounding the potential withdrawal of the “Chevron deference” doctrine by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2024 might overlook certain crucial aspects of federal governance and judicial efficiency. The Chevron deference, which mandates judicial deference to federal agencies’ reasonable interpretations of ambiguous statutes, plays a significant role in maintaining a level of expertise and efficiency in federal decision-making. The notion that withdrawing the Chevron deference would lead to a more democratic judicial review process may not account for the potential bottlenecks and delays in litigation that could arise. The federal agencies tasked with interpreting these statutes are often equipped with a level of expertise and understanding that is crucial for making informed and nuanced decisions. Reassigning this interpretative authority to courts, which may lack the requisite expertise, could lead to inconsistent interpretations and prolonged legal battles, exacerbating the already existing backlog of cases. Furthermore, the assertion that this change would foster a more conducive environment for the growth of college wrestling and gender equity within the sport may not fully consider the complexity and multifaceted nature of Title IX interpretation and enforcement. Title IX’s mandate to ensure gender equity in education and athletics extends beyond merely the allocation of resources or the establishment of college wrestling teams. It encompasses a broad range of issues including sexual harassment, equal opportunity, and fair treatment across all genders. The argument also seems to oversimplify the process of launching more college wrestling teams by assuming that a change in legal doctrine would directly translate to a growth in the sport. The factors influencing the establishment and support of college wrestling teams are multifarious and not solely dependent on federal statute interpretation. They include, among others, funding, infrastructure, interest, and community support. Additionally, the perspective that moving away from Chevron deference would diminish the power of “know-it-all bureaucrats” might not acknowledge the importance of having centralized, expert-driven interpretations in maintaining a level of national standardization and coherence in the application of federal statutes. Lastly, while the aspiration for a more inclusive atmosphere within college wrestling is commendable, the pathway to achieving this inclusivity may require a more comprehensive approach than merely altering judicial deference doctrines. It necessitates a holistic examination of the existing challenges and a collaborative effort among all stakeholders, including educational institutions, athletic associations, federal agencies, and the courts. Thus, while the forecasted withdrawal of Chevron deference sparks a hopeful discourse about decentralizing decision-making and promoting gender equity in college wrestling, it may also usher in a realm of legal uncertainty, potential judicial inefficiency, and an oversimplification of the broader challenges at play.

He did compete at the National Prep Championships for New York Military Academy in 1962 at 168. Future NCAA champ and NWHOF distinguished member Bill Harlow won the weight.

Wait, a chatbot for replies in a forum? Game changer.

Without turning this thread into something it isn’t, I’d be curious about the published report of that DNA, because I remember that situation well - before I even knew JH, and never recall reading that. He still vehemently denies it, turned down a plea deal to cut his time in the clink. I’m open for a DM on this, since I have no interest in talking Ferrari.

How people like Turberville get elected … truly boggles the mind.

I just looked at this, the OHSAA did away with sanctioning the state duals after 2020, so now it appears it's run by the state coaches association. The state sponsored it from 2013-2020. (I'm in a deep dive right now digging on all historic state championships and came across Ohio's duals about 30 minutes ago)

There’s more than one lawyer in the thread, too.

Not an option. Sport doesn’t have anything to do with snow or ice.

Sent you a DM. My comment wasn’t a dig.

Unless you’d frequented old Virginia forums 20 years ago, it’s unlikely you’d know who it is …

Yes it does.

https://www.olympedia.org/ is a site I frequent and infrequently help update (since they do a real good job across the Olympic universe).

It’s a World Championship, not a madison-system rookie tournament. You know what you’re signing up for when you do this … Training takes place in the practice room - putting that training to use is the competition. You go 0-1? Train more.

The two best guys meeting in the first round has essentially been eliminated by seeding, although that process is still contingent upon wrestlers completing in some level of ranking series or continental championship. The odds of a world champ just peacing out and coming back after two years to hit the #1 seed is pretty slim.

He’s here.

It's absolutely no difference within the three NCAA divisions in regards to this statement. There are D2 and D3 guys in the portal, same as D1.

So the accusation is that Micic didn’t weigh in - based on what actual evidence?

Transfers existed before the portal. They're still transfers.

He's both. He's a returning transfer. It's not an either/or distinction. Just have to ask the right question. Another comparison: You're regarded as a "redshirt senior" if you redshirt before your freshman year or after your junior year. If you compete after a redshirt, you're not just a redshirt that season following.

They transferred … so they are, by the definition of the word, transfers.

Does AJ’s latest NIL deal count? https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cxs1PyPr9wX/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

92kg freestyle champ … so it was played.

Rale, the Serbian announcer, is a local TV broadcaster and is one of the more known guys in Serbia sports television. He gets pumped for the Serbians (as is allowed for the home country) and he’s been fun to work with. He’s been doing this a while too - he’s not really mimicking me. He did the same kinda thing last year.

Beleniuk just pointed to Crimea on his singlet and pointed to the larger part of Ukraine as if to say "this is ours."

Team scores now jive with UWW on Flo. UWW won't update until a weight is completed in their system, but they seem to be in line now.
