Why would other schools go dumpster diving when there's a perfectly good grocery store open? The only young talent Iowa has is Ferrari and most schools don't want to touch that name.

Unfortunately for Penn State, being in the BIG means they are forced to wrestle patsies like Iowa and Nebraska, teams that can only win a couple of matches at most.

At one time, the arena would erupt if an Iowa wrestler lost. Now Penn State has that mantle. When an Oklahoma St wrestler lost in the early rounds, Iowa fans didn't even react. The same way that most neutrals are ambivalent towards Iowa now. At one point it was love them or hate them, now they only really matter to neutrals if they are trying to poach a wrestler.

Hendrickson won via the fan vote as he lost the other vote. Two large fan bases in Ok State and Iowa went all in on him. One wanted him, the other hated Starocci.

Spencer Lee is balding, has bacne and took more than 4 years off of USADA testing. Weird.

You are right, Sanderson would never leave Iowa State for a better option.

Incentives for NIL are illegal.

There are terrible ways to improve and then there's Iowa idea. Bailey makes Lewan look like an offensive juggernaut and it's probably a terrific idea to give someone like Williams, with a partying issue, hundreds of thousands of dollars. I wonder what he'll spend that on.

Now that Sasso is done wrestling, can we finally admit that it was a drug deal gone bad?

NCAA testing is sort of a joke. USADA will test most competitors since most of the high end college wrestlers will take part in freestyle season. Mesenbrink was subject to additional testing due to making the US National team for example. The only way to avoid PED testing is to be like Spencer Lee and suspicously skip four years of freestyle.

McHenry is a 4 time champ if there was a 112 weight class. Great wrestler who is just too small and just doesn't belong on a list with the likes of Teasdale or Garret Scott who threw away their talent.

Olympic and World Championship bronzes are all about the draw.

Remember the violation for sleeping on someone's couch? Or how about a coach driving a player to his grandfather's funeral... good times.

PS3, the new Penn State conference can forfeit to each other in conference duels for the ones who need wins. Since they don't have to travel to those pesky BIG matches, they never have to leave Pennsylvania. They aren't going to lose many matches against Clarion, Edinboro, Bloomsburg... super high win % and they'll be seeded even higher, leading to their demise even sooner.

Your chart does show how over seeded everyone is compared to the BIG. A lot of that is thanks to conference placement being a factor. With the rosters being set to 30, Penn State could only field 3 teams so the worst conference placement would be 3rd, leading Penn State to be over seeded. Penn State might win three team trophies but would be performing worse than seed so Penn State would be a disappointment causing fewer blue chips to want to go there, leading to Penn State winning the team title by only 30 points or so most years. Penn State only conference = the eventual downfall of Penn State wrestling.

Do you remember the old days of the internet. The flame wars on unmoderated or lightly moderated boards? I think my all time favorite was this idiot was such a tool they pushed him off football boards into his own board called Hank's Land of Hank. Still some of the funniest things I've ever seen.

You are no more a Penn State fan than I am a Jimmy Cinnabon fan you worthless piece of bovine excrement.

Penn State Altoona already has wrestling and is only 45 minutes from State College

If no one transferred out, Penn State's second team would be favored to take second at BIG and Nationals.

I said if he got one and agree that by the letter of the law he shouldn't but I don't care one way or the other. What I find paticulary outrageous is his use of an Olympic Redshirt. He didn't enter any freestyle tournaments and didn't in any way attempt to qualify for the US Olympic team. It's abuse like this that will cause the Olympic Redshirt to go away and some day someone will truly need it.

21 wrestled, 22 car wreck 23 regular RS 24 Olympic RS 25 wrestled. 26 will wrestle 27 will wrestle 28 olympic shirt? 29 will wrestle if granted medical RS for 22. 21 didn't count as a "year"

He only needs one for the car wreck. Used a regular RS for one year and an Olympic for the other.

Ferrari has a chance eventually also if he gets a medical.

I'm on a Chromebook right now and it works. Works on my mobile also. I don't visit here on my laptop so I cannot give an answer on that.

I still haven't found a catch. It's a great anti-spyware tool.
