He quit the tournament. That’s not in doubt. That’s what forfeiting is. My “really dude” was in reference to two separate things in the post i replied to.
1. The original post led off with Spencer quit his team. Idk how you can say that with the knowledge of 2021 and the attempt at wrestling in 2022. The only reason he prolonged he inevitable (double acl surgery) is because Iowa was projected to win back to back before the season started. He sacrificed his personal health for the team. Imo this was the wrong decision, in fact, I would argue that Spencer being team oriented was a detriment to his success.
2. In the original post there was mention of Spencer taking Drake Ayala’s spot. If Covid never existed Spencer wins his third that year and wrestles his last year in 2021. But Covid did happen which gave Spencer an extra year.
Then the medical bs happened and pushed Drake to the forefront because of Spencer’s Rs. Spencer didn’t take Drakes spot. Drake wrestled his freshman year and then redshirted this past year. It’s not like Spencer stole any years from Drake. His initial plan was to redshirt, he just did it his second year. Plus, you earn your spot and we saw at the southern scuffle that Drake wasn’t going to do that this year.
