Not sure what everyone's debating here. He literally told us God told him to de-commit. No reason to read into it any more than that. Kinda sucks God didn't tell him where he should go instead but He's probably busy with the Iran-Israel war right now.

Both those ages are kids/minors, legally and otherwise. i don't think you're making the point you think you're making. Go back to my example of a 17 vs. 18 year-old. Some 17 year-olds may have the maturity and confidence to stand up for themselves and many 18 or 19 year-olds may not. I'm comfortable calling all college students "kids".

Anybody have links to legit. sources of his NIL offer from Iowa? I've never heard 12MM. I heard 5MM but that also sounds high. If you're only responding with rumor, don't bother.

@BobDole gives me a hernia check before every post I make on this board. Is that not how this is supposed to work?

Legally they're adults. But there's effectively no difference in maturity between a 17 and 18 year old (or older). When you have kids that age, you'll understand.

And it turned Snyder into a degenerate.

The LSAT awaits you, my friend

Who is Mineo? He's the voice of righteous indignation for anyone who speaks ill of a NJ wrestler; He's the town gossip queen of anything that makes non-NJ and non-PA programs look bad; He's a silent ninja whenever incorrect rumors need to be deleted in the dead of night; He's a hard-hitting investigator of anyone who disagrees with him on twitter and needs to be discredited; He becomes a ghost when a random female cop from NC calls him out on his BS. Who is Pat Mineo? He is all of us.

I don't think he even lets his wrestlers compete until like 4th grade or something? Kind of a core principle that wrestling has to start out as something that's fun.

Contacted him just recently about training opportunities for someone at his recently announced RTC. He was reachable, immediately responsive, and helpful. Not the cocky guy from the podcasts that I expected.

I wouldn't create a PR mess and distraction to my own national title efforts if it was something that could wait until my college career was over. I guess I'm selfish.

Why is everyone saying the timing of this disclosure is suspect? It makes perfect sense to me. The guy doesn't want to rock the boat for the 5 yrs. he's trying to win a national title. He's also willing to stay at PSU and take some grief because that place gives him the best chance at a national title; plus we're wrestlers, we're trained to deal with and overcoming hardship. Now he's on his way out the door - what better time to make this public?

You're right that we don't know what happened - hence an investigation. But Beau doesn't have much to gain with this and a whole lot to lose (reputationally; other wrestlers shunning him), so my gut feeling is there's something here and it's more than just locker room pranks. IF there is a real issue here, I expect it will turn into a situation where the coverup is a bigger than the crime - i.e. admins. at PSU who were told about this and turned a blind eye until Starrocci finished out his career will have consequences.

It's about Tom Ryan conspiring with Jesus to undermine other programs through the power of prayer.

I doubt Starocci was "violating" Kerkvleit without his consent. The other guys he may have been able to overpower. Like the phoenix, Ped State rises from the ashes.

It will be the year of the light heavyweight with Gable, Hendricksen and Kirkvleit all gone.

Given that Bartlett raised the issue with higher-ups and it was not addressed makes me think it's someone more influential than a fellow team member - maybe a coach.

I was 20 at the start of senior of college.

If this is referring to age, Basset > everyone else. The kid's like 40 yrs old.

Not just stay underground - some have even been known to disappear completely during the 3rd period of a hwt. championship match.

Oh, I'll be there. I just won't be happy. March in Minn. is not ideal tailgating weather - could even snow.

Hope everyone has their binoculars by then.

How do you know he was planning to go bareback?

If this is what it takes to get him to stop spouting scripture, then I'm all for it.

Since this involves religious people, I'll assume they're male prostitutes.
