My comment wasn't defending Slava but the randomness that stalling is called. I forget what match it was but one wrestler had like 5-6 shots to none, backs other wrestler to the edge, other wrestler circles back in so wrestler's back is on the line, wrestler takes one step back and is hit.
Hoffman's head was on the mat for 5 minutes. Either he needed hit or Kerk did. Refs are only calling stalling on the edge and personally I think it's kind of gutless.
People like reverting back to the "best NCAA performance" yet don't look further. Of course they did. Their weight classes cleared out and they arguably were worse at Iowa. Eirmann was beating Nick Lee when he was at Missouri. Woods was the second highest placing returner and placed second. Then got worse the more time he spent in the Iowa room.
The NCAA/arena didn't properly set up the system to feed info in to track. A junior tournament in podunkville can set it up correctly but the NCAA needed certain things a certain way just because that's how they wanted them, not because it produced the best content for everyone. Some of that was catering to things ESPN wanted.
I had it as 9 bonus and Bartlett. Kasak, Haines, Van Ness pins, Kerk, Starocci, Mess, Lillendahl techs, Barr and Davis majors... And Bartlett being Bartlett.
The worst case scenario for Penn State would be if an internet troll claimed to be a Penn State fan and a few gullible people believed him leaving them thinking that Penn State fans are dumber than a box of rocks.
Little Rock was told at the start of the season that he was ineligible. The fact that they lied multiple times to a couple of conference officials who are too busy looking for other jobs that aren't in a dying conferences to give a damn doesn't make him eligible. If anything, Little Rock should be looking at forfeiting the entire season and put on probation.
If you are in Philly, I beg you to go to the corner of Kensington and Allegheny especially after dark. If you make it out alive, you'll change your mind.
If they let him wrestle, someone like Humphreys, who is in the exact same situation and they didn't let wrestle, could easily argue in court that this decision cost him millions and I'm sure there are others in the same situation.
Since there's a math matrix, it's possible that someone isn't an NQ because Brennan wrestled the season if they don't let him wrestle in addition to the PAC-4 runner-up. Even with a losing record, the runner-up would look a lot more attractive as a high school wrestling coach if NQ is in the resume. That's worth something.
They won't rescore the season but by rights, they should. If they let him wrestle, they'll get sued and lose. If they don't let him wrestle, they may get sued but for not nearly the damages and have a chance of winning
