We can trade Turk for a poster to be named later, later never comes.
Good luck with it and good luck for Brennan (as long as he isn’t wrestling someone in blue and white). I see the reasoning behind your petition, but with 9.9 scholarships (compared to 85), I don’t see the NCAA budging on this one. But I am wrong all the time, so who knows!?Lol I actually did end up writing that petition as I mentioned above…

Cocaine Shane could be classified as 'Nitro Glycerin' himself. The guy is a treasure and great for the sport.
Who else thought Pile and Askren were peeved at Shane on Wednesday’s FRL? Seemed to be a little tension during the back half as Shane’s enthusiasm bogged the show down
I didnt know Shane was on but was just looking for content on the big match. Shane brings something else to the show and I like it. Ben and Vais alone is nails on calkboard.
But, does this guy service his country like Turk?
I love to see it. I rarely listen to FRL anymore, but have started again when Shane’s on. Shane just effortlessly implodes most of the things about the show that drive me nuts, and you can see how it bothers the usual crew. Love Shane Sparks.
Hey I agree, but 10 years down the road I don’t want to be in a spot where I regret not at least trying…
I would be OK if this or something like it happened... having said that, I also feel like wrestling has been sort of ahead of the curve on this by being able to wrestle unattached. I feel like the "four game" rule was done for the benefit of the athlete- so they could experience limited competition and not lose an entire year of eligibility. Wrestlers are already participating in tournaments and routinely wrestle 10-20 matches a year without losing eligibility. Adding a "four game" rule for wrestling would mostly be additional benefit to the team, not as much for the wrestler.Lol I actually did end up writing that petition as I mentioned above…

Except the student-athlete has to pay all the expenses to go to these tournaments unattached. This would allow the school to send guys to bigger tournaments further away and the school can pay for it. Right now most only go to events close by to save on expenses.
Although a lot of these kids may not be big names, NIL does give them an avenue for some type of support. How many might try that route and be successful, I'm not sure. Certainly the prominence of the school's program and local support would be a big factor.
I don't like it at all. If you have a really great recruit you can use them in four duals to determine the outcome of the dual and the rankings but then they can go back to a redshirt. Won't really reflect the actual team that is going to post season. I like the way it is like mentioned above red shirts can get plenty of matches in and get the experience they need. I mean what really is the point of a red shirt. It's an option giving them four matches a year kind of reduces that option or decision that coaches and athletes are forced to make.
Or it slows kids down on their path to graduation and tied up scholarship $$ more for five years per student rather than four, decreasing the opportunity for other kids to earn partial money. I don’t know the answer, or the statistics on the percentage of wrestlers who redshirt already. In a sport with such limited scholarships, it is something with ramifications.
This would hold true if the majority of guys were only on a roster for 4 years in our current system, but that isn't the case. There are a couple on every team, but the vast majority of college wrestlers take a redshirt at some point. There could also be situations where a guy performs so well under the lights when he gets to give it a try that the decision is made to toss the shirt and go for it. This could take a guy who was on the path to use 5 years suddenly switch to a 4 year situation. All speculation on my part.
Congrats Michigan! Great team effort all weekend. Few picked them to win the trophy today. Cheers!
You didn't pick them either.
That’s because they were 100% healthy and even a small scratch should necessitate a MFF. Nationals only thing that matters after all.
After talking with a couple VERY angry wrestling parents at the Big Ten Championships re. Mineo, I wonder if this tweet was sanctioned in any way. Surely not.
Jaydin himself “liked” several tweets with that diagnosis offered on Sunday. Doesn’t mean it was officially sanctioned, but not Mineo’s worst “work,” either.
