What if colleges could only use home state athletes?
RYou replied to Jimmy Cinnabon's topic in College Wrestling
Don't be naive, most if not all top tier schools work with out of state student athletes to establish in state residency from the day they register. Out of staters pay a much higher tuition than in state public U tuition. The sooner they get the student to establish in state residency, the lower the tuition and, hence; scholarship value assessed against the ADs wrestling budget. The wrestling coaches are handicapped by their AD budget, so a lower scholi value stretches those budgets little further. Scholi value was one of the reasons Stanford went with significantly less than 9.9 scholarship allocation for so long. Many states only require 1 year of residency before the student can declare for in state tuition. You would encounter a legal battle over a 2 year restriction. Private U's would strenuously object as such a requirement opposes the university mission to maintain a geographically diverse student population. In state / out of state tuition is not an issue. It's an interesting thought, sorry to pin prick your bubble. -
It's truly crazy that Penn State is not seen as vulnerable

2022 B1G championship -
He entered the NCAA tournament at 167 with an 8-9 record. He opened the tournament with a 12-2 win over the No.2 seed Chad Renner, Oregon State. He then beat unseeded Jim Brasco, Duquesne, 8-5. His Q final win was against No.7 Chris Studer Boston University. In his semi, he beat Jason Leonard, Oklahoma, the 6 seed, 9-2, who had beaten No.3, Ray Brinzer, Iowa. (Leonard had pinned Branch at the Big 8 tournament) In the championship bout he eked out his title 4-2 over unseeded Laszlo Molnar, Cal State Fullerton. Molnar had beaten the No. 5, and No.4 seed Rick Hepp, Lehigh 93/94 losses to NCAA qualifiers/seeds Parker, Oklahoma State DNQ Fry, Missouri No. 1 Nelson, Nebraska DNQ Mollica, Arizona State DNQ Brinzer, Iowa No.3 Taylor, Minnesota DNQ Nerem, Iowa DNQ Leonard, Oklahoma No. 6 (Big 8 tournament) (Per WrestlingStats, Branch entered the NCAA tournament with a 9-8. Since it is well documented it was actually 8-9, it can be presumed there is a typo "W" for one of his "L"s on his personal page)

While the kids were in grammar school, we moved to a town that was consistently ranked in the top ten in the state, and No.1 a couple recent years. Almost all of the wrestlers 140 and up were crossovers to football. It consistently produced state champs and placers but were mediocre in football. Then when the eldest was in 8th grade the HS hired a new football coach and staff. Just before wrestling practice was to begin, the football coach gave an ultimatum, forget about wrestling, basketball baseball and lacrosse; if you want to start next fall you have to be in the weight room during winter and spring. It devastated the wrestling team turnout. Almost allk were kids that had spent years in the town youth wrestling program and would have been future placers and some champs. The wrestling staff which included a state and USA hall of fame coach complained to the AD. He did nothing. We even contacted NFL players and college football coaches and asked them to call or write letters to the AD about the benefits of wrestling had on their football careers. The AD ignored all of it. At the end of the season, the wrestling coaching staff resigned after leading the program for 20 years. It killed the wrestling program. Word spread and the participation in the youth program started falling since that HoF coach was no longer running the program. It's been 30 years now and it still hasn't recovered even though that football coach is long gone. Side story....that football coach, now there about 10 years..... was out jogging after school one winter evening and UPS van driver didn't see him, backed up and road over him. Busted up his hip and one leg pretty good. He never returned to the school. The replacement coach had an entirely opposite philosophy and encouraged the FBs to wrestle and play other sports.

Oh, it's that other OSU.

It's becoming less rare with scholis supported with NIL cash. While commonplace in FB and BB, wrestling NIL cash of substance is still pretty rare. Some schools have targeted wrestling for cash awards. PSU / RBY comes to mind. Walked onto a boatload to cover the cost of his grad classes and then some. I don't think he needed any scholi money from Sanderson to come back this year.

WA state about to see $0.47 increase is gas prices

New York is raising the cigar tax to 95%. The tax for recreational MJ is only 13%. What message are they sending?....and they aren't even Cubans. -
No mention about the reason he was initially pulled over and dragged out of the vehicle. Mistaken identity ?

Rutgers did that. It's no guaranty.

The Rec Hall capacity is 6400. PSU pulled 16000 v Iowa. A single match ticket at Rec Hall will run you about $50. The gate for PSU at BJC was +2.5 times the revenue of a Rec Hall dual. Add in the increased revenue for concessions. More importantly, there were 10000 more fans there in person that otherwise would have been relegated to BTN.

True and neither team suffered an upset loss. Columbia has Cornell tomorrow. Lehigh lost to Cornell by a single.

I'd hazard a guess he entered military service which qualifies for waiver on your eligibility clock. Lots were volunteering for military services to avoid being drafted into the Army. ....and there were those that enlisted in the Army. -
According to the American Bar Assoc, Trump is not off base when it comes to declassification, though there is a process to inform other departments that need to know. That process, he did not follow. The key point from the ABA....the President's authority to declassify has never been challenged. Fact check explores presidential authority to declassify (americanbar.org) As for Vice Presidents, they too have authority to declassify secret documents, but only to the extent they originally classified the document. Vice Presidents typically do not classify documents, so it is unlikely Biden and Pence had the authority to do so for those secretive docs in their possession. It's quite possible, the docs Pence had at home were declassified by Trump.

More docs found in Biden's house on Friday by the DoJ. Yup, the DoJ, not the FBI raid, did the search unannounced on Friday. It was unannounced not to surprise Biden, he knew they were going, but to avoid the media. So they informed Biden and his attorneys, but they didn't advise Trump in advance, even though they had been in frequent communication. Talk about administrative bias.

A little diversion, but still an incredible moment in wrestling since some international accomplishments are mentioned...... for the benefit of the youngsters in the crowd. Wilfred Dietrich hitting a suplex on 400+ lb. Chris Taylor to pin him in Greco at the Munich Olympics There's a backstory on this one. Suplex City! The Incredible Story Behind The Greatest Throw in Wrestling History (bjjee.com) Taylor had beaten Dietrich in freestyle earlier in the week.

Nix the one. That pin was before RBY hit any titles. He finished 8th that year and was beaten 6 other times. I might add he was up 8-3 at the time before being caught in a monster headlock.

Aragona portaled out to Campbell. He wrestled a few bouts at 157 (not 141) last season and walked away from wrestling last fall. When your head is no longer into the sport, you can't blame the coaches. He was high maintenance at Rutgers from day 1, even refused to workout with certain team members.
-
Maybe, but will he then find a spot in the line up? Alvarez likes to eat for taste, not diet.

So little Biden was renting his father's house at a rate of +$51,000 per month ($6 mil annually). That's probably how the Big Guy was paid his share of the Chinese cash flow. Presumably, that arrangement was made as soon as the Chinese cash flow debacle broke. It wouldn't surprise me if little Biden found the doc's, was sharing them, put them down in the garage to answer a phone call and forgot about them.

If Lee does get a fall, you bet on RBY, Starocci or Brooks matching it. My guess Brooks. PSU will then take it on total match points.
