If I understand your comment correct, yes. In the mainstream sports there is enough general fans to support media companies employing someone who will discuss the sport and report on all news, good or bad. In wrestling, there isn't enough eyeballs for anyone to justify such a job and the streaming services and rokfin content creators need access to information for their livelihood. Its not their fault, its what the market demands.

Wrestling doesn't really have journalist in the traditional sense. They have content creators. When was the last time a story came out that the subject of the story didn't bless? Even when stories do come out, the "wrestling media" will often make comments like, I heard about this previously or I got a text saying something similar but didn't want to say anything or it wasn't my news to share, etc... There probably isn't a market ($$) for a reporter and information would probably dry up quickly if stuff was actually reported when its first learned about. I don't have an issue with this but the confusion between what is wrestling media/journalist and a content creator seems to be really bothering people that want the sport to be covered like basketball and football.

I won't believe it until Jawn Cena reports it.

It really feels like the reason they go after the wife, is because the they are either too chicken___ to say similar things about Beau or because acknowledging he might have a legitimate complaint might mean Cael//PSU are not perfect.

Nope, but I thought it was interesting that he basically said that Belichick's GF was a part of the reason AJ didn't get admitted into school.

I hope Cael admits he is running a win at all cost program, and then does the Hulk Hogan/NWA heal turn and says," and there is nothing anyone can do about it, we are still going to win." Then all the PSU fans stop crying about "PSU haters" every time someone doesn't think they walk on water and embrace being hated like Iowa used to in the 90s,walk around with their chest out and don't care what everyone else thinks. Print 5 on 2 t-shirts with PED needles on them that read, "it's only illegal if you get caught... 13 time NCAA Champs!"

If CStar has been removed from NWLC this quickly after the article came out, I think it points to there being substance behind article. I doubt Cael would remove the only 5x Champ in NCAA history only a few months after accomplishing that feet if this was a nothing burger.

I wouldn't mind him going to a Rutgers or Pitt type school that will bring more attention than the traditional power. If he is really taking PSU, OSU off his list, then the NIL hit will be pretty big regardless, imo. I think there is a large gap in the NIL budget for the those 3 and everyone else. Maybe Oh St is up there but they haven't been in the conversation for some reason.

So the new final 3 was not the final 3 or we going back to Melvin's finalist for Bo too? Outside of the attention he gets, what is the point of releasing schools, crossing them off a list, putting them back on?

I do appreciate how PSU fans view the concept of justice... "save me the justice for the victims BS... We just want to know how this will impact our sports teams... "

So he did a show to say he won't comment about the biggest news in the sport right now?? Now that's a nothing burger.

Wow. You know its a good prank when you keep it for 6+ months, have the coaches and police aware, a teammate (Kasak) speak to the police and then you refuse to speak yourself. Wasting a lot of time and resources. He got everyone with that one!

He is not. You don't remember this?

To be fair, the wrestling media has been very quiet today. Maybe they are all out asking the tough questions in regard to this CStar news. Willie (although he might be sleeping), Basch, Pyles, Flo main account have been too busy to even repost, mention or comment about the existence of the Daily Collegian article.

Weird response to my statement that it is not a nothing burger. Does it make it okay if Cael did nothing wrong? Beau also said he report the naked pictures to the coach as well. Again, I do think the source matters, especially when they are putting their reputation on the line. It sure seems like Beau had the expectation that something would happen after he reported it and whatever that was, it did not occur. Don't worry, I seriously doubt the winningest coach in State College will take the fall for this. Bassett will probably still commit to PSU and they will dominate next season and beyond. Nothing to see hear...

Holy cow. I get fanboys trying to spin everything in their teams favor, but Beau , a multi time AA, put his name out there and said I reported these things to coach and nothing happened. Not an anonymous source or a room guy with an axe to grind. It doesn't mean there was a crime provable beyond all reasonable doubt; however, a serious contributor to PSU success has put his name and quotes behind it. That, in and of itself, tells me this is not a "nothing burger"

I thought Beau was a Basch guy too. Re watching it, I was surprised how much he dismissed Beau making an allegation because he was leaving NLWC in favor of CStar. Willie asked him to set up what happened and before even saying anything related to the allegation or what was posted, he just says "nothingburger"

He will pray for those who would make these allegations, acknowledge that all men are fallible and this is all part of the CStar's faith journey. Then tell all the hater they can [QV w/ undercover cop Kyle Snyder style]

This is a very good breakdown of the issues. I doubt there is much evidence tying the coaches to anything real, but because this is PSU, I think Cael's only real concern is if this gets picked up by the National Media and sensationalized beyond the evidence. The pressure of another winning coach over looking alleged sexual misconduct allegations at PSU could be too much for a Board of Regents, even if there is no evidence Cael was aware of anything.

Are you suggesting an investigation into sexual misconduct in a PSU athletic facility was not completed the most vigorous fashion possible?? I am shocked, just shocked.

Mark Manning was on local radio and was fairly open about how A.J. ended up in Lincoln, including more information about why he didn't get admitted into UNC and Rob Kolls involvement. The full interview covers their recent success, recruiting and A.J. I don't know how to clip videos but the interview starts at the 33:00 minute mark and it's almost 30 minutes. The A.J. stuff starts at about 45:00 minute mark.

Good point. Maybe Beau wears mismatch shoes is because Carter (or Kasak?) stole the other ones.

I don't want Cael to lose his job, but the "may not be signed to NLWC" seemed like a PR/damage control statement. It's not like Carter's behavior was enough to keep NLWC from training him through the trials and Final X true 3rd match. The "maybe" seemed more like, its not done yet and if this blows up then we actually might not..

$1000 is chump change for the PSU wrestlers But seriously, an iphone is $1000. A watch, shoes, gear, ipad, could easily get that high and its not like its any "school athletic locker", I would guess its a fairly secure area where only a few people have access.

I would bet a lot of money that there is no evidence that will implicate Cael.
