Byers calls Stanford athletics department an embarrassment. Absolutely agree!!

Byers going off on the Stanford Admin

 

[NoVaLion2]

I love Griffith's hoodie: Keep Stanford Wrestling!

EDIT: Now there's a crowd cheer of the same! 💕

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Congrats to Griffith. When's the last time a National Champ was a free agent looking for another program?

 

[jmadden1998]

Lol....your a good sport....you may be guest but your my kind of guest

You stay classy, DeSanto.

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Is there any real point to this challenge at 165?

 

[dsites52]

By all means, keep Stanford wrestling, but if not, Robbie, make the call.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Board and administration are morons

 

[Cowbell Man]

Well. Now we know why reviews don’t get overturned or reviewed quickly.....there isn’t even one person in front of the 30 review monitors. Lol.

 

[dmm53]

Good for Griffith and Stanford. My father went there so I was rooting for them.

 

[fkkkjm]

So alumni raised enough to permanently endow Stanford wrestling and the AD told them no thanks. What a piece of shit

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Let's go CStar!

 

[dunkej01]

Why did Stanford cancel wrestling if they had enough in private donations to be self sustaining?

Why do people p!ss into the wind?

 

[dmm53]

Alumnae raised 12 million plus for Stanford wrestling.

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

I am a fan of Shane Griffith. Articulate, well-grounded kid.

 

[jmadden1998]

Back to back years the 8 seed wins 165 when Marinelli is the 1.

 

[dsites52]

I shoulda laid a tarp out. There could be a lager shower in the living room soon....

 

[dunkej01]

Congrats to Griffith. When's the last time a National Champ was a free agent looking for another program?

PD3?

 

[dmm53]

Starocci and Brooks up next. The second dynamic duo after RBY and Lee.

Carr - Dellavecchia: I'm rooting for both of them. Two great stories. It's a shame that one of them has to lose

Dellavecchia was Rider's first finalist, I think. Even though that's a good story, I think it's cool that Carr now has a chance to match his dad with 3 NCAA titles. Until Brady beats him next year.

Someone please provide a summary of Shane's interview!

" talking to dad not planning to wrestle this season, saw coaches got motivated...texted dad not question it and rip it" support he got? "Shows how close the wrestling community is, community behind our back..hope we will return" what can people do? "E-mail administrators, I think I played my role here"

i did my best

 

[BoHunter0210]

I’m a Shane Griffith fan now. What a level headed interview. He says everyone should contact Stanford’s administrators and tell them to keep wrestling.

 

[1AA]

Here we go!!!

 

[SheldonJoe2215]

Don't forget that Stanford has a $7B operating budget and a $29B endowment, so not being willing to fund these olympic sports is absolutely disgusting.

I missed COVID getting the 8 seed last season.

The funny thing about Desanto is that he is a much poorer winner than loser. Usually when he loses he doesn't do anything but when he wins all bets are off.

 

[Used2BEerie]

PD3?

Seth Gross comes to mind.

 

[Chris92]

I sincerely worry what happens to him once wrestling ends for him.

Glad for him. What a way to go out.

Keep Stanford Wrestling, an alumni-run group dedicated to convincing the University to maintain the wrestling program’s varsity status, announced that it had raised over $10 million from alumni and supporters as of Oct. 29. The efforts come following the July 8 announcement that the University intended to eliminate the wrestling program along with 10 other varsity sports after the 2020-21 season.

It is unclear whether the subsequent fundraising efforts will have any impact on the University’s decision to cut the program, however.

In a statement to The Daily, Stanford Athletics spokesperson Brian Risso wrote that “the decisions to reduce our sports offerings are final, and any future philanthropic interest in these sports may be directed towards supporting them at the club level.”

Called Title IV! Wow!!

You mean Title (9) IX not Title 4(IV)

 

[Still in State College]

So alumni raised enough to permanently endow Stanford wrestling and the AD told them no thanks. What a piece of shit

I didn't think $12M would permanently endow the program. They would probably need $100M since you can only use the proceeds from the endowment. $12M would certainly buy them time to continue to work toward that goal.
