UNC basketball player Leaky Black had a NIL deal with a local plumbing company.

I'm curious about this. I thought the Jordan Oliver rule change eliminated the "head up" requirement for a takedown. That was in 2013 so it may have changed again.

I'm glad to hear someone agrees with me on 149. I enjoyed watching Lovett in early rounds but the final was awful and I felt bad for Henson.

Wy-not-gold

Edge of the mat wrestling and edge of the mat refereeing are hurting the sport. it reminds me of the old Dean Smith 4 Corners offense in basketball. It was effective for Dean to get wins but it was punishing for the fans and brought about rule changes.

No one has mentioned how or if this affects the wrestlers. Boomer comment incoming: 50 years ago they experimented with changing the order of matches by random draw for college dual meets. Everyone hated it, fans and wrestlers. The lightweights were used to going first and the heavies were used to going later. The idea died quickly that season.

There is no need to insult used car salesman with a comparison to AJ

Wow. That makes some must-see TV next year on the Big 10 channel

Hawkeye fans have Angelo pegged for 4x champ. Will be interesting.

Beth Goetz might disagree

next season? (incarceration or a monastery are options but I'm referring to college wrestling) We can confidently take Okla State and Penn St. off the table.

They won't because of what they might find in the rest of the 330 wrestlers in the field.

Burroughs dug a hole last season with more than a few fans during the NCAA tournament while calling a Starocci match. It may have been Shane Griffith. Starocci was competing with the bad knee and Burroughs said he would definitely be attacking that knee. I'm sure every Starocci opponent thought the same but the way he expressed it on camera was odd. I do remember Bo Nickal (the master of diplomacy) taking exception. I repeat. I don't hate Burroughs. I just think there are better announcers for the sport.

Angelo gave Buchanan good Intel
