Chael offered him $1 million for his “NIL rights” (not sure what that’s even supposed to mean, TBH), and the Bassett’s didn’t even respond? I think that gives credibility to the $5 million number…

Who even would be responsible for enforcing the 250 mile thing? USA Wrestling, not the NCAA, right?

Back on topic. Shooter’s mom confirmed to be member of the church, shooter attended services there. I will give credit to the church for not badmouthing him and for asking to pray for the family. Of course also a great job by the security team and members who stopped the attack. But @El Luchador, sounds like the people you need to “watch out” for most at church (albeit still much less than other facets of life), might be the ones sitting next to you. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/wayne-county/2025/06/23/police-id-suspected-gunman-fatally-shot-at-wayne-church/84315724007/p https://nypost.com/2025/06/23/us-news/gunman-behind-michigan-church-rampage-idd-as-brian-anthony-browning/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=nypost

To be fair, many PSU fans were bashing him after he signed with Iowa. I hope Jagger is working on some good Kyle Snyder jokes if God tells Bo that Penn State is the right fit for his faith journey.

I don’t think it’s an elaborate scheme. Bob calls them up and pays them a lot of money. The end. Not sure if true but I read that “just getting an apartment” doesn’t fulfill the RTC 250 mile requirement. But to that point, my guess is the bigger issue was more about Brands apparently saying he can’t practice with the RTC whenever he wants, not the cost of travel to get there.

Sounds like that’s what happening. But isn’t that quote also Iowa’s defense to Bob calling up guys that aren’t in the portal and paying them to enroll at Iowa? Why would Iowa’s compliance department be okay with that but not this?

That theory was wrong, fyi

Ignore what? He said “the trends are down but the threat hasn’t gone away”

All right I’m listening to this since it’s not super long. Key points -“attacks” are down 18% vs 2023 -Catholic churches, Synagogues and Mosques were disproportionately targeted compared to how many there are, Protestant churches were not -80% are property crimes -Of the 841 “attacks”, there were 23 deaths and 78 injuries. 2/3 of the injuries occurred outside (and some of those ones outside may not have had anything to do with it being a church) Do you know how many churches are in the country? 78 injuries in a year from “attacks” probably makes them one of the safest places you can be

Any in America in the last few months? And not a carjacking in a parking lot or some homeless people attacking each other at a church-run shelter. My point in bringing up the soccer thing was you need to bring up other countries to find these stories because it’s rare in the US.

On the Iowa board there is talk (somewhat confirmed by @Husker_Du) that his travel was being paid for by a mid-40’s female “friend” that recently passed away.

Uh, YOU brought Syria into it.

Lol, wut?

In all seriousness, he might have been a good partner for some of their women’s wrestlers…

I was curious how Minnow was going to be able to simultaneously handle bashing Iowa while sucking up to the Bassetts

I saw someone on the PSU board say something about when Jax goes there they don’t train on the campus (similar to NLWC guys training at M2), not sure if that’s true if so then maybe it becomes not an official RTC practice.

Syria, lol. I’m guessing @El Luchador is one of those “died suddenly” guys that thinks if some low-level soccer player in Luxembourg dies during a game that “it’s happening so often now!!”

then why did you bring up the Olympics and freestyle exhibition matches?

He lost a scramble that lost a chance to make the world team

Guess Yianni isn’t a good scrambler either

Agree

I laughed at this post on PSU board: Bo: "I declare Iowa is a sucky place to train, The vibe is lame, and I would loose my religion just by hanging around there. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE WITH IOWA"

Is this the Al-Awlaki argument again? Dude was a terrorist and I’m sure if he were alive today you’d want him deported despite being a citizen

I don’t mean to sound insensitive, but I don’t really see how slaughters in Africa have relevance to what’s going on in America. Unless you’re trying to imply Biden let them all in the US or something. But I’m pretty confident in saying the people committing those killings aren’t the ones being picked up by ICE at construction sites and Home Depot.

If teams not allowing high school guys to train at the RTC because they committed to a different college isn’t definitive proof that RTC’s aren’t “separate” from the college programs, then I don’t know what is. I know PJ Duke mentioned that Lehigh was I believe the only RTC in his vicinity that allowed him to train there after he committed to PSU, so kudos to them.
