Couldn’t Lee just work towards a 2nd bachelor’s degree? I thought the old transfer without losing a year of eligibility rule was the thing that needed the athlete to enroll in a grad school. Lee isn’t transferring so I don’t see that as an issue.
Nick is an excellent student and a full load of graduate classes would be a good time for him.Yes....I understand that. But if he took a full load of classes this semester he would very likely graduate this year......which would mean he would have to enroll as a Graduate student and take a full load of Graduate classes next year. Not my idea of a good time

I have no idea what Nick planned. I am just taking a possibly maybe quasi-educated guess. I was under the assumption that since wrestlers are there much of the summer that they are more likely to graduate early if they toss in some summer classes. Maybe the ones I am remembering are outliers and not the norm.Really? you dont think Nick planned on doing 4 in 5? Isnt that what the majority of athletes do to lighten the load?
33 isn't happening this year, from what I'm hearing. Should know more soon... hopefully.I posted this a while ago when the Pre-Championship manual was posted. 4 is the new number for minimum matches.
Pre-Championship Manual
SELECTION CRITERIA
.700 Win %
Top 33 CR
.700 winning percentage against all competition
One win against a wrestler receiving automatic qualification via an earned position (preallocated)
Qualifying tournament placement one below automatic qualification
Seeded in top 16 during 2020 selection
Finished in top 8 during 2019 championship
Only wrestlers that meet or exceed two of the above criteria with at least four matches at the respective weight class will be eligible for selection as at-large qualifiers. A wrestler that is unable to compete in his qualifying tournament because of COVID-19 related issues may be considered for at-large selection, if verified documentation is provided to the committee prior to selections, and only if his team does not enter a different wrestler into the qualifying tournament at the same weight class.
ALLOCATION
For 2021, the NCAA Wrestling Committee will also allocate qualifiers for each respective qualifying tournament using a formula that calculates historical allocation data from the past five years. The remaining spots available in each class are reserved for at-large selections. The NCAA Wrestling Committee has determined that regardless of the number of spots that will be pre-allocated to qualifying tournaments, there will be a minimum of four at-large spots per weight class selected by the committee.
Here is my best guess based on the past five year averages. That would give 29 in each weight and leave 4 at-larges.
ACC: 4
Big 12: 5
Big 10: 8
EIWA: 3 (account for 6 schools missing)
MAC: 4 (they have averaged just 41.6 qualifiers over past 3 years and averaged 55.5 qualifiers from 2016-17)
Pac 12: 2
SoCon: 2 (I just can't see them giving a conference only 1 in this year.

Whatever number maximizes Ohio State qualifiers.Darn. The other scenario they proposed was 24 in the allocation criteria: https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/ch.../2020-21D1MWR_QualifierAllocationCriteria.pdf
They could change their mind again but it would match up with their 75% capacity for NCAA Championships. Or they could pick another number I guess.
Berge. Hung in there with Hidlay. Freestyle, yes, but our other options would have gotten really smoked.Who goes 157 as only have 9 matches
No opens to d I c k around to find a starter
This team has the chance to be nasty. Howard, Bartlett, a Berge comeback, another Lee, the Erie hammer, an improving gas tank for Beard, and Kerk add some great storylines.Willie says Robbie is a go, Nick might dip a toe in 149 to make room for Beau, who at least will try to make the lineup.
Some unfinished bidness at 184 to boot.This team has the chance to be nasty. Howard, Bartlett, a Berge comeback, another Lee, the Erie hammer, an improving gas tank for Beard, and Kerk add some great storylines.
Brooks ****ing people up goes without sayingSome unfinished bidness at 184 to boot.
Nicholas B. Lee/Gardner House is enrolled. Is that not him?Nick Lee is still listed as a RS on wrestleStat and is not listed on the enrolled student directory
If Robbie Howard is the starter at 125, does he have a good shot to AA? Willie has him at 6. Is that about right?

Been a while since we seen Howard on the mat but I think he is gonna be a fan favorite. The kid has no brake pedal and is always looking for the match ending move.If Robbie Howard is the starter at 125, does he have a good shot to AA? Willie has him at 6. Is that about right?
Nick runs around all year at 145Nick Lee, Greg Kerkvliet, and Marco Vespa have all been added to Penn State's track wrestling roster. They have not certified as eligible yet but there really would be no reason to add them to that roster if they were not competing this year unless you think the coaches really just added them to the roster to mess with people like me.
That does add an interesting dynamic to Lee though as I am not quite sure what the certification rules are. I believe you are only allowed to lose like 1.5% of your weight a week and that had to be fully hydrated when you did the certification. That's just over two pounds a week so he would need to weight around 145 fully hydrated on Monday to be eligible at 141 by the Rutgers dual.
