I was expecting to hear that AJ was holding out from Iowa for a larger NIL bag…

He never wrestled there, but he was definitely enrolled, and certainly transferred.

Yeah...that's Seton Hall Prep...a private school that used to be (but no longer is) affiliated with my alma mater.

Yes...

From what I’ve heard, no.

Because, ummmm, uhhhh…HEY, LOOK, A PUPPY!

Didn't Arizona State win a team trophy a few years ago? They're also the only team west of the Rockies to win a national championship, although in fairness, wasn't Zeke a wrestler on that team?

Agree in a tournament, disagree in a dual.

Yes, but if you’re receiving financial aid for either of them, it has to be for football.

There are NCAA rules regarding what a coach can comment on with respect to a prospective student-athlete. Basically, a coach can either confirm or deny that they are recruiting a prospective student-athlete, but cannot go any further than that. I suspect the University of Iowa has a policy that goes even further than that, stating that they cannot comment on prospective student-athletes at all, but am not 100% certain in that regard. That's probably why Brands made that sort of comment. There was a segment where Matt Storniolo went on FRL some years' back and was asked (I believe by Ben Askren) about a recruit who had fairly recently committed to Northwestern, and Storniolo responded with "we are recruiting <wrestler's name>". That's all he's allowed to say. There was an instance in the 1990's where a coach in a sport other than wrestling, at a school that did not at the time (and still doesn't) sponsor wrestling, in a press conference, stated "NCAA rules state we are only allowed to confirm or deny whether we are recruiting a prospective student-athlete. Well, I'm denying. We are not recruiting <PSA's name>." In short, it's not that Tom doesn't want to comment on things (although if I were Tom, I certainly would not be commenting on recruiting a human IED like AJ Ferrari), it's that NCAA rules and/or University of Iowa department policy prohibit him from commenting.

JB just nailed it.

A relic from the old pre-2008-09 system…

Was specifically referring to Morgan State, who’s only access to the NCAA Championships this season is through the at-large process.

Oooh…I can think of a school in the EIWA’s footprint that needs a conference!
