That is true with regard to the complaint but the Draftkings ticket IDs are known and the State does have those dates. We (message board readers) just don't know if they occurred when he was a student or earlier if that period is subject to NCAA rules. The State of Iowa is only charging him with is Tampering of Records by falsifying his identity between 8/25/2021 - 10/31/22. He was a student from at least August - October of 2022 so there is a some potential overlap. The State might not even care if a bet was placed when he was subject to NCAA rules; if they can prove he was the one making bets (falsify ID) they could prove their criminal case. It does seem that Paniro is in some legal trouble but that doesn't necessarily mean he is in trouble with the NCAA, even if he is guilty of the aggravated misdemeanor crime.

It would be hard to argue the time period he was a student athlete (but prior to competition) is not relevant, especially if he is betting on ISU events during that period. It's also important to separate the criminal changes from NCAA violations. Best case: Paniro denies all criminal charges and remains innocent until proven guilty until he is found not guilty or takes a plea deal on lesser (non NCAA violation type) charges. Then I don't think (total speculation on my part) the NCAA would have any grounds to suspend since all of the betting took place under someone's else account (i.e. no proof he actually committed a violation).

Not sure why Dresser would be upset with DMR. All they did was report criminal charges, which were public. It's possible Paniro's name were not known by the NCAA, and Dresser, since he was (alleged) to have been using someone else's account or disguising his account. But the criminal charges appear to be real, but hopefully can be beat and Paniro can be proven innocent. The complaint states some of the bets were made on his personal iPhone in areas not available to the public. So if this all occurred before he was a student the question is how will the NCAA treat a prospective student who has access the facilities betting on University property and other ISU events? I do not know the rules, but I would guess the prospective (underage) student gambling on ISU events could be a problem. Hopefully not.

So I assume the NXT "announcement" was just a way to hype the TV show, so I don't put much stock in it other than than entertainment value. But is Gable wrestling at Worlds? I assume he still is since he went through the process to make the team, but now it appears he will be doing the WWE and training part time for a world medal?

Soo... hold it in Hawaii but in the outdoor football stadium?

We are talking about NCAA wrestling, not a bachelorette party...

Is that why the eastern half of Iowa is more populated than the western half. Everyone trying to get closer to Chicago

So there was thread on the appropriate board (MMA) but not enough comments for your liking so a new thread was created here? Makes sense.

Recently Ticketmaster has been doing a great job of screwing over fans as much as possible and they don't sell all session tickets to the general public, which makes you buy 6 individual sessions and pay 6 times the fees. /rant. My advise would be to book your travel now and wait as long as you feel comfortable to buy tickets. They prices are always crazy after the scalpers buy up the general public tickets but they typically drop the week of NCAAs and even 1st day of the tournament. Plus, there is usually a few people who have to cancel or have extra tickets that you can pick up from wrestling fans that are more reasonable. I don't think there is a lot of people leaving and missing the last 2-3 sessions, but if you are waiting and buying individual sessions never pay more than face value for the Saturday morning session. There are always empty seats that don't get filled by hungover wrestling fans.

James Green is returning to competition and will train in Lincoln as part of the NWTC.

Serious counterpoint - Thread starters, especially in the off season, that are clearly made in jest and for the purposes of providing humor should be taken as such and anyone taking it seriously should lighten up. If anyone really thought Gable was going to Campbell, then I fear for our education system more than before I logged on today.

For PSU, I would say everyone is conceivably in play. ISU finished 2nd, 5th, and 3rd under Cael so I am sure PSU will pay whatever and the ability to have PSU's resources should be tempting for almost anyone. For Iowa, I would think there is enough time for someone to build a resume and step in. I can't think of anyone currently that would excite most Hawk fans except maybe Spence Lee but he likely isn't interested until at least after 2028.

Making World Team is hard. Outside of the freak exceptions like Burroughs/Snyder and few others, the reality is most guys don't maintain World Team spots for sustained periods of time. The list of guys competing in 2 Olympics is small. Ramos held the spot at the lightest weight for 2 years and he was the first guy to make back to back teams at the lightest weight since Henson in 2005 and 2006. Gilman first made the team in 2017 and will be 30 next year. Unfortunately, he is on the downside of his career. Add in that USA wrestling has a better system now and we could have multiple top 5 guys at a weight plus you have to squeeze into 6 - 8 weights depending on the year and I would guess we will continue to see more turnover on the World Team, regardless if we have a defending Medalist at the weight. Also, props to USA wrestling for putting the history of all World/Olympics teams in one spot. You can go down quite the rabbit hole. https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Wrestling/Team-USA/World-Team-History

Evolve or die. Life was better after the invention of the horse and buggy than it was before. People weren't loyal to it when a better product came along. Right now, Flo has the broadcast rights that keep their subscribers from cancelling despite poor service (by 2023 standards, not pre 2000 standards). The market will eventually correct itself if that continues. Whether its ESPN+, Twitch or some other service.

^^^^ This ^^^^ If USAW just takes the biggest check to broadcast Final X and doesn't care about the product or if anyone sees it, then that is USAW decision.

Is Lenny Pinto staying at 184? Doesn't look small but was 170 in HS and Willie has mentioned FeldKamp visited Nebraska and they were trying to get Truax to visit before the price went crazy. He also wrestled 86KG at U20 so could be nothing but Nebraska seems to have more a hole at 174 with Labs gone so the visits seem odd.

Reading comprehension is hard...

Minnow fan boy, much! No way someone like Kemerer is going to put his body through the grind of a D1 season just to prove someone on the internet wrong, especially when Mineo does that on his own all the time.

Thanks for posting. Hopefully he makes a full recover.

Unfortunately being a married man with adult children does not eliminate extramarital affairs. I am not sure how anyone could read what Bob has posted and come away the impression that this a man of high moral character.

Why?? Do you think they wanted Cannon more? They were clearing in the 133 market.

Nagao also said he didn't plan to transfer after NCAA and then just woke up one day and wanted to test it out, but "no one offered him a bag" to go into the portal and that wasn't his motivation. However, he ended up accepting a lucrative (even if not the highest) NIL deal and discussed $$ on his visits. Funny how that works out. There hasn't been one transfer to yet come out and say "I transferred to this school because they offered me the most NIL money" Brooks keeps saying he might not come back next year. Does anyone really think he is debating what classes to take next year and not using it as leverage to get a bigger NIL deal? Or that 4 AAs just transferred to Michigan because the weather is so good in Ann Arbor during wrestling season? Let's not be naive, money plays a big factor, and likely the biggest factor, even if kids don't feel comfortable admitting it publicly. And to be clear, I am happy for all these guys for maximizing their value when possible and getting paid. I am also fine with them down playing the money and claiming it was for the education, fit, culture, whatever. I just take any quote they give with a grain of salt.

Message boards are for entertainment. There could be some news in them but mostly rumors. Flo/FRL is also for entertainment and occasionally you may get some news. CP put out a video on Chittum that didn't provide any new information besides what Cody Goodwin already reported. Was that actually news, not if you had read one message board that day. I don't understand the issue. People say dumb things on message boards and people say dumb things on FRL.

Good try but he will just start a new thread instead of commenting on an existing topic. Heck, he has started 4 different Chittum threads on the first page alone. Sometimes you have to just let Jimmy cook!

Yes, Murin didn't AA until his senior year, but he was Rd 12 every year prior. VV went 2-2 last year, with a win over Jaden Abas (just to tie into the Abas/Lee debate), and finished Rd 16 So objectively Murin was ahead of VV at this stage in he career.
