People still thought I worked at USAW a decade after I left (and I only worked there for 3 years). Was my sig on the old board, then when this opened up, people assumed (incorrectly) I also was working again for InterMat/this board. Then Willie put it in his sig in a poor attempt to annoy me … I’m fine with that.

He’s still a four-time All-American … one of two guys to beat Yianni D in college. He doesn’t check that box either …

Agreed. Eierman isn’t considered an Iowa legend by anyone except the OP.

Stanford to the ACC would impact bids minimally. I think you'd take I'll add that up when I get some time. We're also looking at the potential from 24-25, so I believe Bellarmine is eligible by then (I'd have to triple check), I don't believe Queens would be eligible by then. That may be their last transitional year. It's another reason why I put a minimum of 7 in the newer ones, except the Ivy (unaffected by realignment) and the EIWA ... which could still catch a stray as an affiliate from the CAA or somewhere else.

Это наша территория.

Way to not actually read or comprehend a single thing I tried to explain fairly to you. The US does not have a documented history of cheating doping tests at the governmental level - Russia does. That is the reason people are still unsure about the inclusion and the suspect nature of it. I don’t think there would be too many instances of Russian wrestlers cheating, but the fact the organization that’s in charge of testing them has been documented in cheating for the athletes, there are few ways to know until it’s too late - often 8-12 years after someone’s been cheating. Read. Comprehend. Understand. These are facts of the context, not an attack on Russian wrestlers.

It’s not about winning, it’s about the repeated and documented multiple failures of said drug tests. USADA is one of the most aggressive antidoping outfits in the world and those US basketball teams aren’t failing PED tests while winning either. No one’s accusing countries of cheating because they win, they’re accusing countries of cheating because they have been caught cheating multiple times and there seems to be no hurry to clean up the anti-doping outfits in those countries. It’s not ONLY a Russia thing - look at the countries that aggressively dope in weightlifting, boxing and other combat sports. Russia doesn’t need to dope en masse … yet they have. That’s the point. We know not every champion is complicit in doping.

That would be fake news.

Throws whiskey in the fireplace.

Don’t remember the fireplace scene?

Today’s Short Time on the subject SHORT TIME PODCAST: Tackling realignment from the wrestling perspective

I love “The Great Outdoors.”

Greg hustles. For those who don't know, he's not just some guy who's got billions of dollars and just cuts checks. He works for everything he contributes. Yes, he's an amazing dude for sure.

Football's "revenue" generating, but not necessarily profitable many places. If anyone's an accountant here, they'll know college athletics budgets defy logic when it comes to general accounting principles.

Don't forget what social media adds to the conversation. You get some football-minded neanderthal spouting off about "how much money you bring in" as they're responsible for sitting on that pedestal. It's frustrating as a fan of numerous college sports (primarily wrestling and hockey), where the uninformed football fan sits. They hang on that "no one's paying to watch swimming" type of response ... I just want to scream. Just because you like the most popular spectator sports doesn't mean there isn't a value to the school. A revenue stream isn't what dictates fanhood. Probably preaching to the choir here.

You don't know the rules.

This man is forever disqualified.

I’ll be doing an updated show on this as soon as I get a confirmation on two things - the moratorium on creating single sport conferences is over and the CAA interest in sponsoring wrestling again. I shift my structure every time there is a conference move and now it’s time to update.

Oregon State is at the minimum for NCAA men’s sports with 6. They have men’s rowing, but it’s not an NCAA Championship sport (women’s is). Unless the NCAA drops the minimum # of sports below its current threshold, it appears from a numbers position, Oregon State appears to be in a solid spot in terms of sport sponsorship.

Exception vs. the rule. Look at their weights at the Pan Am Championships annually. They will go at the Olympic weights and usually have a void at the non-Olympic weights.

I haven't had a hand in anything streaming ops related since I left USAW over a decade ago. I can only tell you what the case was when we implemented this.

That has been made abundantly clear.

Recording is programmed to shut off when the result is entered as “final” at the scorers table. When Adam Fenn and I built the system that’s currently being used by Flo (they bought WVS), part of the training for the table workers was save the result after the hand-raise. This is less about FloArena than it is table workers in this case since the system was built upon Trackwrestling first. The closing out of matches scored electronically is what starts and stops the recording and that will vary by event in terms of the level of hands-on training.

I deciphered it as a comparison akin to "best practices" such as an example of another board they post on. On the old board, I even baked in that rule specifically in the forum rules that were built in 2010, so it's not like it's something on forums you hadn't participated on before. The nothingburger here, in my viewpoint, is continuing to harp on point BRF was making and clinging to the "other forum" rules as a crutch to argue.

Yeah, I think I saw it for a second but was working the event for 8 days. So without contacting people who could have done something about it, we go to the forum. Doesn’t strike me as a way to get the powers that he’s attention.
