There's no need to read beyond the last post on Page 1 posted by Husker. BB quotes Husker's count by year and then lays out the bet. Bet was accepted. BB was proven wrong and tried to change the terms of the bet. Geez this bet was laid out almost 11 years ago. Husker is due (not DU) his $1K with at least 10 years interest for reneging on the payment, probably closer to $2k given the Biden rate of inflation (and that's not propaganda).

Scott was reportedly making $170,000 at UNC. Do you think OSU has a little more available? Smith's contract was for 562,320.05

Hmm, you omitted a 2 year Mormon mission which would push to 11 years from HS graduation.

The latest as of 8 PM today Leistikow: Where things stand in the Iowa sports-gambling investigation (hawkcentral.com)

Most big universities now have financial advisors for the student athletes. They don't negotiate the NIL deals but can help find an NIL sponsor and then advise on taxes. I don't see how the NCAA can cap NIL deals. There is no way the NCAA can block an athlete from making as much as possible. Livvy Dunne, the LSU gymnast is now making over $3.5 million. The NCAA will get slammed with a suit in a second if they try to block her NIL value; restriction of trade. He deals were developed outside any relationship with LSU.

I suspect that is what he was referring to since a Cornell wrestler card would open other doors. Most likely the RTC and Cornell being independent entities have a third party facility use agreement for that "other room" and the RTC pays the University for the usage agreement. Also, a gray shirt can work, typically on behalf of a University benefactor in order to pay for living expenses.

It's mainly an Ivy loophole since you can't red shirt, and you only get 4 years to compete for 4 years, but it also delays NCAA eligibility. Any athlete can do it while committed to any school. Outside of taking a year off campus as a few do, it's the only way to gain growth year at an Ivy. Taking a sabbatical year at Penn was once popular. The athlete would work an internship on Wall St. earning a ton of money and wrestlers would work out at NYAC. Matt Valenti took an internship year off before he won his two NCAA titles. Pat Glory took a year off from Princeton in order to avoid losing a year of IVY eligibility during the COVID year cancellation.

"The 12th Man Foundation funds facilities renovations and construction at Texas A&M." The Georgia Athletic Association has been handling these chores for the University of Georgia for years. It receives maintenance, etc. and whatever is leftover at the end of the fiscal years, gets donated to the University. The past few years that value has exceeded $100 million. Other SEC and ACC universities have similar structures though not as lucrative.

This case amplifies why Trump has a steep uphill climb with the criminal charges in NYC. There are only a few cities where a jury can find for the plaintiff on the grounds it "likely" happened, even though the accuser couldn't recall any of the details. The jury, composed of NYC residents was stacked against him from the get go. He'll be confronted with more of the same if his criminal charges are not tossed out. Damn the evidence, full speed ahead with the conviction !

He may be better off applying for a medical waiver for next season and coming back stronger for 2024/25

Also known as "instrumentalities of the state". Essentially, they operate independent of the state, but are obligated to abide by certain state laws such as the requirement to bid contracts (other employment contracts) over a defined value (most orgs set a cap anyway). The employees are also enrolled in the state pension and healthcare systems. It's a bit of cherry picking the to the university's advantage.

There primary role is to advise the student athletes on everything from contract obligations to taxes. They do not act as an agent trying to land NIL deals or negotiate higher value.

Don't forget the backdoor income stream....wrestling camps. Schools vary on who owns the camp, school or coach. Penn State owns Sanderson's camp, taking the revenue and eating the expense. Goodale owns the Rutgers camp and pays the university a nominal facility use fee for university facilities and a per participant housing and meal fee. (A while back he charged $450 for the week and paid the university $125 per wrestler for facility use, rooms and meals...multiply that by 150 kids X 4 weeks) For many coaches, the income derived from hosting sports camps can exceed what shows up as a university salary. Same goes for assistant coaches that basically operate the camps for the coach. The HC uses that revenue to supplement assistant coach pay.

Serious stuff. NCAA rule declares you ineligible if found to be true, black and white, no gray area here... POOF....There goes your scholarship and you can't transfer out from under it. There is a high probability multiple athletes from a team involved, via locker room chitchat. For a relatively small group like wrestling, it could be devastating to the starting roster. Don't be surprised if a few other schools make similar announcements in the near future.

Thank the teachers union for that, not the host schools.

Collective, not collective...same guidelines The sponsor usually requires personal appearances. I the athlete isn't around to fulfill the contract requirements, there is a breach that will enable cancellation of the contract.

Historically, a signed national letter of intent is contract in the eyes of the NCAA. Normally, a release requires the AD's signature. The NCAA can block competition for the next season and it will cost you a year of eligibility that can't be taken as a red shirt year. A NLI recruit may well have an opportunity to opt out under recent rule changes. The NCAA affords a 30 day window for portal transfers if a coach is fired or leaves for another job. That rule applies to current student athletes, I don't see why it shouldn't apply to recruits that aren't even enrolled. If a recruit is blocked, it would be prudent to petition the NCAA to a rule apply the 30 day transfer rule. Any registered student athlete can apply into the transfer portal. For wrestling, the last day is May 7. An unregistered recruit for 23/24 would not have access to the portal. My guess is that OU is throwing out a road block to delay any action for the recruit in order to give Kish time to talk them into staying. If after that the kid still wants out, they'll release him. No one wants an athlete that doesn't want to be there. The downside for the athlete is that schools have made their offers and have tentatively allocated their full scholarship value and have $0 of few $$$$ to offer at this point. Schools have until June 30 to reallocate their scholarship offers to existing student athletes so a really shred coach could cut next year's funding to current teammates (typically non-starters) in order to create money to make available for a late recruit.

I am trying to understand your limitations. 2x Nolf ? 2x Nickal ? Both missed being 3xers due to the COVID cancellation.

Starting in September, Yes. It will require NCAA approval for a 2nd go round and transfers because of coaching change will be tough to attain.

Let's see how many NDSU wrestlers enter the portal.

Two pages and nary mention of the rising Gable Steveson. He' potentially has a world gold and another Oly gold in his immediate future. Will that be enough to place him as low man on that totem pole holding up the other 3?

Face it, Steveson is an alien from another solar system, dropped here from a UFO for the sole purpose of humbling the earthly population.

I'm tired of his Executive Orders that usurp Congressional authority. Biden has completely alienated the middle class.

Now that's unmitigated whitewashing.

Unless he transfers again now, he'll likely be barred from transferring over the summer by the NCAA as the new portal transfer rule kicks in.
