I didn't say comebacks don't happen. Just that it's not like a video game where you hit a button and try for a hail mary pass. Rohn had that cement mixer in him and hit it on multiple people at that tournament. That doesn't mean it's worth it for most people to throw random headlocks. I can only assume that people who are amazed at why some people will lose by 10 and seem not to do much at the end of the match haven't wrestled beyond high school.
There's a reason what you described is so common. These guys are elite wrestlers and can tell when it isn't happening in a match. This isn't youth and high school wrestling. At a certain point if you are down enough points you are wrestling for your pride as well and are just trying to stay in the match.
I really hope this isn't true-especially the Nelson Brands part. Really a difficult situation if so. But I agree that if they did place bets on Iowa, they should be banned from NCAA competition.
There's objectively much less to do in the areas surrounding Columbus, Ann Arbor, State College, and Iowa City than the Bay Area, LA, and Seattle. The same is true for Utah, Oregon, etc, for those who like hiking/camping/the outdoors. That's just a fact.
I think a big thing for Cal, Stanford, and Washington is that there’s professional football in the Bay Area and Seattle. So nobody cares about college football. There didn’t used to be in LA, but now that there is, I wonder how that impacts USC and UCLA.
There is no chance cal and Stanford get added to the big ten. The fact that they get research grants has nothing to do with how much money their football team generates. Nobody goes to or watches Stanford or Cal games. College athletics are about money and nothing else.
I have no clue why they added that line about research partnerships. Maybe to make it seem like it isn’t just about money, which it is.
This is interesting. If all the ISU bets were prior to being an ncaa athlete he may be off the hook- unless some were done with inside info through affiliations among the athletes. In that case, ISU still might kick him out.
They just made the rules notably less draconian for gambling. An exception is gambling on your own school, which is still a permanent ban. There’s zero excuse to do it.
I don’t on the NCAA level. He bet 25 times on Iowa state events. I’d see an argument for reinstatement if all his bets were other schools, but he should be done. The rules on gambling are made very clear from day one of compliance meetings. He also knew it was wrong, which is why he concealed his identity.
This kid looked like a mix a DT, Cael, and then I saw the footsweep attempt, so he's definitely a Mocco. Most impressive highlight that I've seen in a while.
