A quick comment on HFO’s post. While finding someone with deep pockets wanting some advertising value in return is probably the “traditional” route for an NIL, it now appears to be an open season that that approaches straight payouts or subsidies with little expected in return other than performing ...

Interesting post by Justafan. One thing grabbed my attention - the vast majority of the schools listed that participate in that program sponsor Div I wrestling, whereas the vast majority of Div I schools do not sponsor wrestling. In other words, teams we both compete against and wish to be successfu...

Steck was a legend. Ran probably the best overall IM program in the country.
2 questions:
1) When did he retire?
2) Do they still run an IM wrestling tournament? I’m pretty sure the answer to this one is - no, not for quite some time.

Well,..the men's TEAM is set. A few observations: LEE and his suspect health/knees held up superbly! :roll: Hoping he qualifies via Turkey tourney.. RETHERFORD was a surprise in a WIDE-OPEN weight class. DAKE as expected, and a sentimental favorite after his father's recent death. :cry: BROOKS take...

I am thoroughly on the same page as whiz wit that we have young guys that can in fact step it up. I predict that Stanich will not redshirt but bulk up & take the 141 spot from Hines. Stanich is a driven kid with work ethic that will take him to the top of the podium some day. I predict that Gri...

With 6 seconds left. AND a bogus stall point earlier in the match. The ref beat Valencia, not Brooks. Terrible.

Or wait until 25-26 so that all the recruits have four years NCAA eligibility?
I assume the NCAA statement of 2026 means when the championship is held.

Rich - what statement is that?

Just watched Audrey Jimenez get the tech 10-0 in her semi. A dominant wrestler. As a reminder, this is the young lady who won the Az girls championship for 4 years, and also won the boys championship this year. Coming to Lehigh as an Engineering student. Just watched her challenge final which she w...

This will really change things: Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin signed an NIL bill into law on Thursday that could significantly change the college sports landscape. Effective July 1, schools in Virginia can directly pay student-athletes for Name, Image, and Likeness. The law that Youngkin signed on Th...

First of all - it's good to see Klehner back. Bonus points - that's what is needed when counting on 3 or 4 wrestlers at Nationals. Crookham wins, and could very well be National Champ next year - but doesn't produce a ton of bonus points - Crookham last year had 11 bonus wins with 1 pin and 6 TF. Be...
