Exactly. If asked each one of those guys would say they understood the rules and then they went ahead and gambled anyway. Wtf. It's not like it was something they didn't know. They shouldn't have gambled and did. And wtf with Iowa fans and blaming the NCAA for picking on the state of Iowa. It was Iowa prosecutors that pushed this investigation not the NCAA sled dog dumb
Iowa suspension names released
- Thread starter PSUwrestling
- Start date
Lots have said this until they wear them themselves..
any chance you’ll be at the lehigh match? Just an innocent question.
Yeah, reality bites.Sad to see him and his exciting brand of wrestling leave the stage
Considering the cards he was dealt I kinda like him.
I thought the expectation was for him to return next year. His wording seems to suggest otherwise.
I think that’s mostly hopium from the masses. Because he got a medical redshirt for 2022 and an extra year for Covid, he would still have a year of eligibility left, so of course the rabid Iowa fans have him pencilled in for another year, but it would be his seventh year in college. I think he’s mentally done with it. I can understand guys like Fix or Micic who are or were at one point legitimate contenders coming back for one more shot at a trophy they’ve never won, but Brands coming back for a low AA and a couple more team points at nationals? Why? It hasn’t ever worked out as 7th or 8th year senior for the true contenders anyway.
The rest of the team will just have to make up those lost bonus points.
Say what you want about Nelson‘s wrestling style—I think we can all agree that he left a lasting impression on the competitors he faced.
OK, I think I have it out of my system now….

They would have had 4 guys competing for two weights, so this way GIA avoids imploding trying to rationalize that being morally okay in Iowa but not Happy Valley.
I think they recruited over him. TNT have no loyalty.
The team was just done dealing with his crazy dad. LOL.I think they recruited over him. TNT have no loyalty.
I find it difficult to have empathy for a guy who by his own admission bet on Iowa football six times (amongst other sports) and then attributed his ignorance on having missed a mandatory compliance meeting. Did he skip the other five mandatory compliance meetings as well? Sorry pal. Clearly the leaf doesn’t fall far from the tree.
I don't.
I'm sure he'll fight this ruling tooth and nail. Hopefully, he can scratch and claw his way back next year.
He only wants your skin under his nails.
10:1 odds for his college career being over…
I wonder how many of these boneheads bet on Ramos last March.
Yep, I said it.
Yep, I said it.
It’s been memory-holed, right?
But it helps me understand why he feels comfortable having AJ on the team.
Oh, he most certainly does. Otherwise he’d slink away in embarrassment.
He loses this year no matter what.
He could apply for a medical shirt (to recover his lost 2022 year). If so, 2025 would be his 7th year.
But why would he? It's clear that Gabe Arnold will be their 174 next year. Is Terry Brands' son gonna transfer out of Iowa, or get on with his life?
Pretty sure his plan was to go 184 this year and certainly he could do that next year.
Maybe if his dad gets a head coaching job at another college (rumor is he applied for the UNC job) he would bring Nelson along to wrestle in 2025 and use him as an example to his other wrestlers of what he is looking for in a wrestler. Or not.
He could but to what end? If he were a title contender, I could see it. He’s not, especially at 184. Is he going to stick around and put himself through all that to go to R12 and get the team a couple extra points? Why bother?
Yeah, we saved all that for Spencer's loss in March.
