RYou

Prohibit schools from charging mandatory student fees to subsidize athletics programs and NIL (e.g., Cleveland State's $90/yr "save wrestling" tuition fee, Clemson's $150 athletics fee, portions of Fresno State's $495 instructional activities fee; but not "talent fees" and similar add-ons that are tacked onto season ticket sales) Over 8% of the Rutgers $178,000,000 athletic budget is funded by student fees, $14,000,000 or so. That caveat will be a nightmare to overcome in addition to the $20,000,000 for student athlete pay. The new RU Athletic Director is walking into the lions den.

I sure do hope they don't talk to Ferrari. Ferrari wants in at Iowa. Can the bros turn their backs ?

Odds are he enters the portal on Sunday, but he's stupid enough to enter it tomorrow morning and get booted from the tournament.

Flo is so skeevy, won't even put up the dashboard.

Ivy student athletes are now allowed 4 years of eligibility within a consecutive 5 year span. On the other hand, they are required to complete their degree in 4 academic years. Consequently, the athlete cannot enroll and attend classes as it keeps that academic clock runner. This is essentially why you'll see eligible Ivy graduates doing their 5th year at a non-Ivy university.

Rutgers coulda shoulda bet Ohio State. I think that says it all.

That implies, Goodale didn't offer him the assistant's job when Pritzlaff left. Surely, his involvement helped Rutgers recruiting this past year.

It's a different sport. No barrier for amateuar wrestling.

He's got a world title and 4 more years to the next Olympics is a loooong time to remain motivated, particularly efor maintaining weight. Sometime off relaxing is the best he can do to allow the brain cells to recover. We'll see his as an early hire next spring. Personally, I was hoping Rutgers was holding off on their vacancy in order to get a commitment from him post Olympics.

That's a huge hole in the Rutgers program. Goodale needs to be careful, the wrong replacement will break the program.

This news may warrant its own discussion, I'll post it here since it dovetails with the recent NIL settlement posted or years past. This one has potential to benefit NCAA championship teams for every sport covering over 100 years. North Carolina State's 1983 national title-winning men's college basketball team has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA, wanting past earnings when NIL wasn't legal. NC State 1983 basketball team sues NCAA over NIL earnings | Raleigh News & Observer (newsobserver.com) This one has potential to benefit NCAA championship teams for every sport covering over 100 years, though the value will probably be limited to existing business records documenting NCAA revenue. All of this NIL revenue sharing / settlements are already impacting school athletic budgets and the size of the revenue payouts to conferences. The schools created their athletic budgets with championship revenue forecasts. In the end, those shrinking revenue forecasts will result in a new round of cuts to non-revenue teams.

He's put on a bit of weight over the past year, maybe too much to continue as a LB. That may have pushed him down the team chart for the D line after spring ball. Wrestling at 125 KG should increase his agility for the D line so this may not be a bad option to increase his football talent.

Starocci will have a hard time capturing #5 at 197, much too small.

NIL bidding war

Keep it clean. No blue comments. This is a kid friendly forum.

May well be the signal...."I'm done." JB has neeevvvveeeer missed weight.

Just because Flo / Track has it on bracket paper doesn't mean it's true. It is Flo you know.

490 dual wins......I'm really surprised he didn't take one more year to pass that 500 win standard.

not a chance of it happening.

More bat cave than aerie.

How many qualify out of the LCQ ? winner ? finalists ?

This partnership has nothing to do with splitting from the NCAA and everything to do with the NIL fiasco. That Tennessee judge just lifted all of the plastic handcuffs the NCAA had used to slow the steamroller down. Now it's been unleashed. B1G and SEC are looking at how to deal with this unspoken professional development program. Combine it with the Dartmouth NLRB decision stating student athletes are employees of the university, which no university wants, and you've got the basis for arms distance university affiliation, if not ownership of a minor league team for sports. Should that NLRB be upheld under court appeal, you'll almost all small schools erase their contact sport athletic programs. They won't want to be paying someone (wouldn't even have to be a graduate) lifetime work comp medical and disability benefits and open up the full employee benefits package to the student participants. Just hope Congress adopts some kind of an amateur sports law that prevents students designated as employees of the university that can pass muster in the courts.

The Ferrari bros were born and raised in Texas though they spent about 2 years in new Jersey. i year at Blair and 1 at Bergen Catholic before moving back to Texas to wrestle. And, for WIW, those Jersey Shore kids were from NY. NY doesn't have shore towns like those in Jersey.
