All NILs have contracts, otherwise it's not "NIL" cash.

RISK > REWARD

Correct. First it's not an Olympic redshirt, it's an Olympic Waiver. The athlete cannot register with any school nor take online coursework for two terms, fall and spring, or equivalent quarters.

"the IOC reserves the right to decide about the participation of individual neutral athletes with a Russian passport in the Olympic Games Paris 2024 and the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 at the appropriate time." Note the reference to "individual neutral athletes". It's not all or none. They are leaving in the opportunity to be selective about admission. If, say, Sidakov is truly pro Russia as respects Ukraine, he could be banned while other Russians are llowed to compete.

Geez, why not make this PSU VS Best of the Rest?

Wouldn't true Ai offer your opponent the same detail about you ? And, given your use of trends and tactics and how to attack your opponent, wouldn't AI inform your opponent of how you will be attack and how to counter what is likely to be expected ? It seems to me, that with both using similar strategic programming we would be saddled with an inordinate number of OT's, 1-0, and 2-1 bouts except for those where one opponent is clearly dominant. NCAA championships would become boring.

I'm not so sure of that. Both sports are allowed to offer partial scholarships. D1 Men's XC/ track has a max of 12.6 scholarships to partial out while the women get 18. Like wrestling, few get the full ride. At 50%, that's 15 men and 36 women with financial aid. In wrestling, few get 50%, most are more like 25%, particularly those with hoards in the room. Women's XC/Track can easily mete out 18 full scholarships and field a complete and competitive team across all events. In almost every sport with men's and women's teams, the women get far more scholarships to offer, mainly to make up for the volume football gets allocated, 85. ex. - men's basketball - 13, women's -15; men's gymnastics - 6.3, women's - 12; men's swimming - 9.9, women's - 14

Of course, that's why the all star event results are excluded from seeding. Most are still shaking off a little rust from the 7 month vacation.

"transfer" is forever imbedded in his Iowa bio.

Greco is the original from the first Olympiad. Freestyle didn't emerge until the 19th century.

LOL, why not mud wrestling, it's way ahead of beach wrestling?

There's no need to read beyond the last post on Page 1 posted by Husker. BB quotes Husker's count by year and then lays out the bet. Bet was accepted. BB was proven wrong and tried to change the terms of the bet. Geez this bet was laid out almost 11 years ago. Husker is due (not DU) his $1K with at least 10 years interest for reneging on the payment, probably closer to $2k given the Biden rate of inflation (and that's not propaganda).

Scott was reportedly making $170,000 at UNC. Do you think OSU has a little more available? Smith's contract was for 562,320.05

Hmm, you omitted a 2 year Mormon mission which would push to 11 years from HS graduation.

The latest as of 8 PM today Leistikow: Where things stand in the Iowa sports-gambling investigation (hawkcentral.com)

Most big universities now have financial advisors for the student athletes. They don't negotiate the NIL deals but can help find an NIL sponsor and then advise on taxes. I don't see how the NCAA can cap NIL deals. There is no way the NCAA can block an athlete from making as much as possible. Livvy Dunne, the LSU gymnast is now making over $3.5 million. The NCAA will get slammed with a suit in a second if they try to block her NIL value; restriction of trade. He deals were developed outside any relationship with LSU.

I suspect that is what he was referring to since a Cornell wrestler card would open other doors. Most likely the RTC and Cornell being independent entities have a third party facility use agreement for that "other room" and the RTC pays the University for the usage agreement. Also, a gray shirt can work, typically on behalf of a University benefactor in order to pay for living expenses.

It's mainly an Ivy loophole since you can't red shirt, and you only get 4 years to compete for 4 years, but it also delays NCAA eligibility. Any athlete can do it while committed to any school. Outside of taking a year off campus as a few do, it's the only way to gain growth year at an Ivy. Taking a sabbatical year at Penn was once popular. The athlete would work an internship on Wall St. earning a ton of money and wrestlers would work out at NYAC. Matt Valenti took an internship year off before he won his two NCAA titles. Pat Glory took a year off from Princeton in order to avoid losing a year of IVY eligibility during the COVID year cancellation.

"The 12th Man Foundation funds facilities renovations and construction at Texas A&M." The Georgia Athletic Association has been handling these chores for the University of Georgia for years. It receives maintenance, etc. and whatever is leftover at the end of the fiscal years, gets donated to the University. The past few years that value has exceeded $100 million. Other SEC and ACC universities have similar structures though not as lucrative.

This case amplifies why Trump has a steep uphill climb with the criminal charges in NYC. There are only a few cities where a jury can find for the plaintiff on the grounds it "likely" happened, even though the accuser couldn't recall any of the details. The jury, composed of NYC residents was stacked against him from the get go. He'll be confronted with more of the same if his criminal charges are not tossed out. Damn the evidence, full speed ahead with the conviction !

He may be better off applying for a medical waiver for next season and coming back stronger for 2024/25

Also known as "instrumentalities of the state". Essentially, they operate independent of the state, but are obligated to abide by certain state laws such as the requirement to bid contracts (other employment contracts) over a defined value (most orgs set a cap anyway). The employees are also enrolled in the state pension and healthcare systems. It's a bit of cherry picking the to the university's advantage.

There primary role is to advise the student athletes on everything from contract obligations to taxes. They do not act as an agent trying to land NIL deals or negotiate higher value.

Don't forget the backdoor income stream....wrestling camps. Schools vary on who owns the camp, school or coach. Penn State owns Sanderson's camp, taking the revenue and eating the expense. Goodale owns the Rutgers camp and pays the university a nominal facility use fee for university facilities and a per participant housing and meal fee. (A while back he charged $450 for the week and paid the university $125 per wrestler for facility use, rooms and meals...multiply that by 150 kids X 4 weeks) For many coaches, the income derived from hosting sports camps can exceed what shows up as a university salary. Same goes for assistant coaches that basically operate the camps for the coach. The HC uses that revenue to supplement assistant coach pay.

Serious stuff. NCAA rule declares you ineligible if found to be true, black and white, no gray area here... POOF....There goes your scholarship and you can't transfer out from under it. There is a high probability multiple athletes from a team involved, via locker room chitchat. For a relatively small group like wrestling, it could be devastating to the starting roster. Don't be surprised if a few other schools make similar announcements in the near future.
