Drugging and raping athletes? Did this occur on campus/ in athletic facilities? I guess I didn't look into this far enough. I thought he was touching athletes and showering with them.

200 complaints is wild. I think that's on the school. Even if Jim Jordan knew(seems like everyone knew), why does it matter? Plenty of complaints were ignored before, during, and after he was there. And why are you using the word child? I know a guy who got paid out from this debacle. I heard the guy would give you hernia exams when you came in for a sprained ankle and he would show up and shower with the team for no apparent reason - he probably fondled himself while in there. Definitely class action worthy. And this is totally unsubstantiated, but this whole thing kicked off from statements from Mike DiSabato, and rumors were that this was a way to get to Jim Jordan because his company, Cage Fighter, was losing a ton of business to Rudis - both Ohio companies that were outfitting wrestling teams across the state. He was going on CNN and making a ton of personal attacks. This does not diminish the reality of the situation, but I always thought that was interesting.

Maybe they need to get the infection under control first. I say that without any understanding of the situation.

I screwed up the last link if anyone at all is interested in Left Lane Capital https://x.com/i/grok/share/fegv5UvRtQrZfT5xANsJApV4h

I don't think Nebraska sold their soul for taking in AJ Ferrari. People can disagree with that dramatic statement of opinion. It is not about lies.

Can you tell me before I watch it?

Left Lane Capital is behind RAF. Do some research. They have been working on niche sports leagues lately, such as the Magnus Carlson chess league and the Shaun White snow board league. Here is a prompt I have to grok about the companies advantages. People should get excited about this. https://x.com/i/grok/share/GLZ4Q8XJRLBh4dTouei75NTJ2

I was watching sone RPW re runs on YouTube and it gave me a few thoughts. The RPW announcers did a great job. There were 3. Nate Carr really brought the energy and was great to help emphasize exciting moments. One of the things I used to hate from NCAAs about a decade ago was how the announcers would basically try to teach you about wrestling. Freestyle is simpler than folkstyle(go ahead and fight me on this) - takedowns, push outs, and back exposure. I don't think too much time will be needed to help people know what they're watching. RPW used a horn for period end. I liked that. I am not sure what my thoughts are about putting sponsorships on the mat. Curious what others think. Putting it outside of the circle may not be visible often enough for a broadcast, but inside circle could be distracting if done incorrectly or too busy. You might want to limit it. It's obviously going to be Real American Beer. Incorporate Hulk Hogan as the opener or opening sizzle real for each broadcast. Try to secure a deal with Nike, Adidas, Asics, Rudis as exclusive singlet, shoe, apparel provider. If not, then it might be cool to see wrestlers out sponsors on their singlet for income. Probably going to lean in on the patriotism and I think it's a great strategy for gaining fans that are new to wrestling. This is probably why Nomad's snowflake ass thinks it is stupid. There is so so much that goes in to all the details of the product RAF ultimately determines to put out. It,s a huge undertaking.

Identifying talent is super hard. Look at the NFL. Everyone and their mom can agree that this one guy should go #1 overall, yet they can't hold down a starting spot. There are so many top ten overall busts. More people should try to put a big board together. I would bet that most people's boards would like pretty similar.

Why not just redshirt? If PJ Duke does U20s and Seniors, then why not just redshirt as a freshman? He could go to ranking series events in 2026. The first two are usually in February and early march and then the next two are late May and early June. He will probably be the 2026 Pan Ams rep too. It could be a lot of competition in a redshirt year. Plus he can get Big Ten duals at 157.

Last year it was pretty obvious that Marcus Blaze was the high school wrestling goat(IMO). Right now, that has changed it it now goes to PJ Duke. However, if Jax makes the team next month then I would move Jax up to #1, but we can argue about what type of Vito did he beat, but both would have beat World medalists(Vito more accolades). And then it is all about what happens at Worlds to truly take the crown, although Jax and Bo Bassett have another year to do something goat worthy(edge Jax right now).

Meyer was the right guy to put #1 in 2023, and long term I still believe he will be the most accomplished freestyle wrestler of the class. AA's from 2023 recruiting class: 2024 -- Rocco 2nd, Kasak 3rd, Stanich 5th, Bailey 4th, Watters 4th. 2025 -- Knox - 8th, Davis 5th, Stiles 6th, Fugitt 4th, Ruiz 5th, Kueter 8th,McEnelly 3rd, Barr 2nd, McDanel 8th, Kasak 3rd, Blaze 2nd, Novak 5th, VRob 1st. I may have missed somebody. Time will tell who will score the most NCAA points in the end.

Briggs should have been allowed to compete with the boys if they wanted to, but should not have been permitted to compete with the girls on the grounds of PEDs. There should be no therapeutic use exemption for a trans boy to take testosterone and compete with the girls - if you take testosterone then you compete against boys. And then trans girls should not be allowed to compete against girls under any circumstances. Just because people raise this unique example does not make the discussion complicated. No TUE for girls transitioning to a boy(must compete against boys) and under no circumstances should a trans girl be allowed to compete against girls. i know it is not applying the same principles to each scenario, but males and females are not on equal ground for athletic competitions. Of all people, I would think the wrestling community would know the need to separate men and women in competition, but I guess if you're confused about what a man or woman is, then you can't form a coherent argument

I wonder if USA wrestling would allow this today.

What did I just watch? It's been a while. I hope this girl has found her identity.
