I like this question when it's a bit more subjective and the question doesn't focus on who had the most NCAA titles, but who would actually was the "best" or "greatest" at their peak performance. I'd go with: 125. Spencer Lee 133. John Smith 141. Yianni (I wanted to put Gable here, but he lost at this weight...) 149. Dake 157. Lee Kemp 165. Burroughs 174. Askren 184. Cael 197. Aaron Brooks 285. Gable

It has been going on for years with the Russian athletes. It is becoming more common with U.S. athletes, which I think is due to the improved U.S. freestyle results and RTCs wanting athletes to compete internationally even if they can't make the U.S. team. That doesn't mean it's a good thing.

How many 4* recruits does a program like Iowa give up on after a true freshman season? We aren’t talking about Alabama. This is a team best known for its punter. Zero chance football told him to get lost.

Why do you think that? He was a 4* recruit just 12 months ago. Not playing in his true freshman year doesn't mean anything. Maybe he's a bit behind where they thought he was, but I doubt they'd give up on him after one season.

The problem is he’s undersized compared to NFL linemen and doesn’t know any pass rushing technique. The practice squad has limited spots, and a number of them are essentially reserves that are ready to be activated after an injury. He is a camp invite for press and because the coach likes wrestling. It’ll be a cool experience, but that’s it really.

Triggered by an e-mail from Nespresso!

What does your post even mean/what do you actually want? You just explained that you can avoid websites that you don't like...Isn't that a good thing?

And then when a person complains about it to tech support, they get downgraded to $30 for one month rather than getting charged $12.50 or their full money back. It's about as close to a scam as you can get away.

Correct. He would have been the #1 pick today, but it was a different time in the 90s with how GMs viewed qbs and what they valued.

He won't be on the BIlls after the first round of cuts.

Flo peaked 10 years ago. Everyone who launched the platform and made it what it was is gone, and now it is basically just a good resource for HS wrestling. Family of HS wrestlers can watch their kids wrestle at events, and there are technique videos. Do they produce any significant events other than WTT?

I would not be surprised if this gets great ratings and goes viral on tiktok.

Anybody say Jackie Robinson yet?

I agree on the additional programs you identified that are likely safe. The reality is that we don’t truly know how bad this will be. I anticipate that if this becomes a free market and there isn’t a federal law that ensure funding go to nonrevenue sports, the 14 team requirement will be dropped and we will lose programs we never thought we would. Is there a big donor/alumni base funding Missouri? How about Wisconsin or Indiana?

The NCAA could avoid antitrust simply by requiring all coaches to also be faculty members and that their pay fit the standard salary scale of the faculty. That is not fixing coaching salaries at a particular point, but rather requiring that they have a faculty appointment. Would this shitshow have happened if the coaches were making 200K/year instead of 20 million? The reason that we are about to lose a lot of D1 programs is simple math. The money that is going to pay the football players is going to have to come from somewhere. I don't know how many we will lose. I hope it is only a handful, but my expectation is we will have most of the B10 programs left, OKstate, Oklahoma, Arizona State, the Ivy league, and then anyone with a strong enough alumni base to raise enough money to survive.
