" In fact, Mesenbrink was adamant that NIL wasn’t a part of his decision saying, “My recruiting process was not influenced by NIL. Less than 1%, .1%, nothing about NIL played a part in me picking Penn State.”
Mitchell went on to say, “To hear the things that people are saying about NIL…it’s shocking.” He feels those a part of the NIL conversation are taking the rumors they hear online and believing them as fact rather than getting their information straight from athletes.

Just off the top of my head for this season there are several starters that came from the JUCO ranks... McDermott, Crosby, Strickenberger, Morton (D2), Ricks, Spangler. More distant Joe Colon, Deron Winn, Covington, Jones, Lesnar come to mind.
This has happened several times where prior to the match you need a subscription, then it changes last minute and it ends up being free to watch through the pac 12 website. The Pac 12 will change up schedules the week of if there ends up being a premier match up for basketball. OSU vs LIttle Rock got really messed up which is why it was moved to a different venue. The Oregon State vs Penn State dual was 5:00 local time because of the network and basketball. It goes on and on....
Some guys have also changed weight - Like Olguin who has 5 matches right now... Also Braxton Brown went up. Not sure about others who are in that position.
Thanks for posting this each week... I look here often for the schedule of all matches....Now I don't have to wait in anticipation for Thumper's weekly Pac-12 schedule .....
