I think the bigger picture with this rule would affect wrestling in a much deeper way than what is being talked about. If hypothetically NCCA ATHLETES (not just wrestlers) had to stay in their home states, we would see a lot of wrestling programs go away. Not because they couldn’t field enough wrestlers BUT they simply could not afford it. Take a school like Iowa State, their football program, wrestling program and most other programs would go away simply because Iowa is a Hawkeye state, always has been. The majority of high profiled Iowa high school athletes go Iowa and this would leave schools like Iowa State and UNI without football programs and without football programs other programs such as wrestling and rowing simply cannot sustain. So if this hypothetical rule actually did happen, it would kill D1 wrestling as we know it, among many other D1 sports.

When you left the other college wrestling board. I would say that PA generates some of the best college wrestlers from high school kids, yes.

I liked it better when you were off the boards. You would be hard pressed to find any Iowa wrestling fan that still says Iowa is the "best wrestling state". Do we have some good to great wrestlers, yup, but are we the best wrestling state for high school kids, of course not. I do think that we are the best wrestling state when it comes to fans and supporting our wrestlers, IE our attendance record every year.

So it's only because Penn State and Iowa are rivals that you want to try and bring Iowa fans down for liking an out of state kid?

Also, isn't your GOAT coach from Utah and then wrestled in Iowa? As an Iowa native it gives me great pride to see Penn State fans recognize their GOAT coach Cael, a Utah boy but also came from Iowa after his wrestling career.

You make this lame post once a year about how some kid that grew up somewhere else is now another state's pride and joy. It's called recruiting and all coaches do it. Yes, Spencer is not from Iowa and yes he is our golden boy but guess what, if Spence wanted to stay in PA, he would have. He had his choice and he chose to come to Iowa and I bet if you asked him now, he would call Iowa "home". I don't understand why you make this post every year? Are you trying to say that Iowa fans shouldn't welcome outsiders into the state and welcome them as one of their own?
