It looks like Princeton / Iviy League rules are allowing QM and PG and presumably others, a 5TH year of eligibility. Ordinarily the Ivy League only allows 4 years of eligibility, 4 in 4 instead of NCAA 4 in 5. So, this is their final Ivy season, but both have a COVID year under the NCAA allowance. Do either / both continue wrestling and enroll elsewhere and if so, where? Will they seek out a top tier graduate program, or go a national championship? For Glory, it would mean a shot at being a 5x AA and there are many with that in their bio. Being Princeton teammates, will they want a both or neither offer?

Robles was a 125 but his shoulders were those of a 149er.

It's like a tell in poker. The pitcher develops a habit before certain pitches letting the batter know what's coming. Maybe he throws over the top on curves and sliders, but goes 3/4 sidearm on fastballs. Or. maybe he pats his leg before a fastball. It doesn't have to the pitcher. SS and 2nd usually know what's being thrown. We were up against a ss that would slide move toward second on fastballs, but would move right and into the hole on curves. We just watched which way the shortstop went and we knew what pitch was coming.

Teemer was scheduled to compete at the National Wrestling Coaches Association All-Star Classic. Have they identified a replacement ?

I agree with the academic preparation aspect. While many kids are smart enough to graduate in 4 years, many are not. All sports, except maybe swimming golf and tennis recruit kids that aren't rocket scientists and barely qualify to attend the easiest of admission schools. The first year red shirt enables the school to provide academic tutoring to get those kids accommodated to campus academics and have a chance of actually graduating. I suspect many schools know a kid specific kid is only looking to get to a point talent wide to be drafted and there is no intent to finish with a sheepskin, and the school steers academics to meet the minimum eligibility standards.I'm sure this scenario occurs far less in collegiate wrestling as opposed to football, basketball and hockey.

.....one benefit that has been omitted.....it enables a good student to graduate in 3 (with AP entry credit) or 4 years and start a graduate degree while remaining on scholarship. There was a kid at Penn State a few years back that was able to graduate in 3, do his graduate degree year 4 and started medical school in his 5th year. He even got a 6th medical waiver year. A rarity for sure, but it worked to his benefit. His was footballer, so he was on full scholarship for all 6 years. Flip side, the Ivies limit eligibility to 4 years, no redshirts, no medical waiver years, though some of the schools promote a training year off before enrolling for your first year. The Ivies do allow an intern year out of school. UPenn used to push that one. Academics and sport for 2-3 years, then they would line you up for a year away interning, often at a Wall St brokerage where you would get paid a tidy sum before reenrolling to finish your eligibility. The NCAA accepts it since they are still competing in 4 of the allowable 5 years.

Stieber did it 5 (RS +4) Lee will have matched it in 6 (4 + COVID + Medical Year) How do fit that into your equation?

No international ties. He'll be around through 2028 at least, then off to coaching, or selling wrestling mats.

It probably would be a different outcome if it wasn't a B1G to B1G transfer.

Only an AD can approve a release. Coaches give input, which the AD usually follows.

Unlike whimsical Executive Orders touting restrictive regulatory action issued by Obama and Biden, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is legislative authority. Anti-discrimination requirements in education are here to stay, legislatively (unless of course, Congress fails to reauthorize it at some point in the future). What you will see cease are the often daffy interpretations published as Dear Colleague letters issues by DOE which holds to be enforceable statutory actions. As for gender equality in sports, the current standards for determining the equality of sports opportunities at Cs and Us will stand until challenged by a school or individual. Gender identity in sports is the next big issue that will be brought before SCOTUS at some point. Despite all of the wishers and wannabes, and administrative edicts, Section 195 of the Equality Act refers to sex, not gender identity. It is lawful to exclude males from female sports categories. It is lawful to require a copy of a birth certificate to document and designate male or female sex.

That was a tough decision since I've known Sydney McLaughlin for almost 10 years but clicked for Jordan. Her career is just starting to blossom with many more Olympic and World Golds ahead of her. If this was a guy / gal award, she'd definitely deserve the women's share.
