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.

Could also post the name so there could be some independent research done here. By your description, this individual is an adult … right? Or have you actually contacted USAW about this or just come on the forum to vent … or do you want someone else to blow the whistle for you?

One reason I don’t spend any time in that part of the board.

Linking back to the source material is always the best and most correct answer.

Yeah, big time swing and a miss, considering I read the title of the thread, then took the post was still referencing the OP when mentioning performance at the Super 32. I'll just go back to working on data vs. trying to read today.

West Virginia. We will lose a men’s team and an announced women’s team that never actually competed.

If the field now is as it was in 1997, probably 1-2 at best. Back when it started, probably 2-2 on my best day. I was bad, but wasn’t completely helpless.

Those morons are clutching to the allegations as fact and you’ve got kids on Twitter (X) clinging to some loophole narrative vs. actually realizing the lack of credible evidence here isn’t a loophole, it’s exactly what it means, lack of CREDIBLE evidence. It’s unnerving to a degree to see people just defame someone so casually by googling stories that never get followed up on.

Pretty well-documented that I never wrestled a varsity match … so pretty much every rank was better.

Having a great time, wish you were here, Monty … Brewster.

The reason we didn't in 2020 was likely due to the whole pandemic. Since we had a 2021 Worlds in the 2021 Olympic Year, I assume we may have a non-Olympic Worlds again sometime in 2024.

Wouldn't be a point, if there's no funding for those NGBs, there will be no way funding for the athletes to even pay to go to these events. The rest of the world's wrestling federations don't. have money like we do. If there's no Olympics for wrestling, the money from those Olympic committees will go to other Olympic sports. Countries NOW don't fund the non-Olympic weights (like Cuba, for example), so if they're all non-Olympic weights, you just cut the head off the sport globally, leaving pretty much who? And who knows how much USAW would be getting domestically if wrestling was no longer an Olympic sport. It's a silly idea to even try to rationalize.
