From what I understand Save Oregon Wrestling, in it's heyday following the dropping of the program were fundraising to bring it back. Those conversations fell on deaf ears, then they branched out to give scholly $ to kids that wrestle at other programs.

Hmm I think you may be referring to NCAA On Demand. Back in the day they converted the TV finals into a DVD then sold them. Blue & White DVD cases. I see a few of the years available on Prime. View on line. The hard copies may be hard to come by? I bought a few back when they were out.
Has anyone done a winners/losers post on Transfer Portal thus far?
Obviously Michigan, Penn State are on the ++ side. What about the rest & the negatives (-). Hmm.

I'm in for the 3d year in a row. Speaking of 'row' the mens/women's crew team have edged out wrestling the last two seasons in # of donations and amount. Help put the mat men over the top with a minimal donation & let the rowers languish in their own wake
It will be a conundrum for the foreseeable future.
Envision a group of mid and top tier HS studs coming in as a recruiting class to a D1 school. They take their drubbings in practice room day in and out. Head to their first classes in halls of 300+ other students. Most experiences are eye opening but manageable for these guys. Most of these guys take a RS year sans a spot start here or there. Then they make a pact 'stick it out' through graduation. To honor their first commitment and not be lured by dollars and offers from NIL collectives of other schools.
Then all of the sudden the transfer portal is a landing spot for the student athlete in a rare situation or graduate student with 1 more year. We can only hope.
