A slap on the wrist is the proper punishment in this case. The argument I hear for bringing down the hammer is "but what if we do not punish harshly? Think of the moral hazard they might be subject to. Think of all the gambling debts they most assuredly will have that will most assuredly lead to them throwing games, or influencing outcomes." Punishing someone over harshly for a minor crime because there is a low probability that it will lead to some larger crime is just wrong.

You are so full of crap. First time offenders of victimless crimes almost always get a slap on the wrist. It is only when they do not get a slap on the wrist that people get upset. You sit around claiming it is only Iowa fans who are upset, but it is only you, the supposed PSU fan, who is upset when reason prevails. Again. You are so full of crap.

Yeah, I did a poor job of formatting there. The probability column should go to the hundredths like this: Then you see that as a 20 seed he would have a 3% chance of AAing. And that is not a statement about Feldman. It is a statement about the history of guys who were the 20 seed. Now if Feldman has a strong season and winds up a 10 seed then his probability goes up to 37%. As an 8 seed it jumps to 49%. Even a 1 seed is not guaranteed to AA (98.5%).

Buddy Lee?

It is possible that his tweet was referring to the Oly Trials, not the Pan Am challenge process. One man's confusion is another man being intentionally vague.

A freakin men. I always thought the penalties were too harsh in this case and these potential revisions recognize that. If they also make the revisions retroactive, as is being considered, it would be another aknowledgement that they got it wrong the first time. Good for them that they appear to recognize their mistake.

I think he tweeted something along the lines of, "it's time to take back what's mine." Which cracked me up. It's not like he was stripped of the title. He lost. Twice.

I think Diakomihalis challenges for sure. Does that then get Retherford to challenge so that he can wear out Diakomihalis for his buddy Lee? Does that then get Arujau to challenge so that he can get a chance to wear out Retherford for his buddy Diakomihalis? What then if Retherford and Diakomihalis meet first? Is it like a bracket? One guy gets a bye to round two? Who gets the bye? Is it random?

Using the pre-season Intermat rankings we are still around 80% chance of 4 AA's for the Wolverines.

Oops. Missed that there was a new thread.

Using the pre-season Intermat rankings we are at 50% chance of 1 and 50% chance of 2 AA's for the Panthers.

Using the pre-season Intermat rankings we are at a 90% chance of 4 AA's for the Tigers.

If the weight is not qualified at Pan Ams there is a last chance qualifier that is world wide. Top 3 qualify the weight so they wrestle to true third. Pan Ams does not wrestle to true second. Both finalists qualify the weight.

Using the pre-season Intermat rankings we are at 50% chance of 2 and 50% chance of 3 AA's for the Buckeyes.

Using the pre-season Intermat rankings we are at 50% chance of 2 and 50% chance of 3 AA's for the Cowboys.

Dake's parents should be disappointed in themselves.

“The goal is to really try to find some balance between allowing student-athletes an opportunity to evaluate their transfer opportunities but also providing some opportunity for coaches and their staff to focus on their current student-athletes — and to understand what their rosters are going to look like,” Lynda Tealer, the chair of the Division I Council, said last week. “At some point, coaches are going to need to have some period of time where they’re neither in-season nor fully recruiting. Where we are right now, there is no opportunity for them not to be fully engaged in that way. That’s not really a sustainable way for people to approach their jobs.”

Who could pull that off?

They earned a break after immediately taking care of the most pressing issue facing our country today. https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2023/10/03/congress/mchenry-pelosi-hideaway-office-house-remove-00119803

I should have been clearer. So far it is an impeachment inquiry.

That is your take away? You have completely missed the point.

How bad does your spine hurt from bending so far over backward? And exactly how did the Democrats trick Gaetz into calling for this vote? And it is clear to me that McCarthy's appeasement to the hard right in deciding to bring an impeachment on Biden had absolutely nothing to do with the Democrats' vote. (That was sarcasm.)
