So your saying you could understand why Cael wouldn't support a waiver based off of internet rumors? You based your entire argument off of hearsay on an internet website to explain why you could see Cael not granting a waiver. That has got to be the lamest excuse I've ever heard of in my life and somehow, someway you tried justifying it.
Insiders what's up with Nick
- Thread starter koleszar
- Start date
LOL yeah i remember he kept getting "to" and "too" wrong even after it was pointed out to him.
This. Most of this release talk is misinformed.
There are two issues here.
NCAA - without a release Nick is required to sit out a year. Since he has a RS available, this only matters if Nick wants to wrestle four and out. Not really a big deal.
B1G - separate rule which penalizes one competition year for transfer in-conference. Circumstances regarding receiving a waiver from this are unclear, but they are obviously uncommon (despite plenty of people throwing examples that aren't relevant out there).
I guess you could argue that by PSU NOT giving a release it might negatively impact the B1Gs view of any appeal for a waiver. But the fact of the matter is that no one knows that this is fact. Not Scott Goodale, not Cael Sanderson. The bottom line is that the B1G is not going to look to Cael Sanderson for guidance on granting exceptions to their rule.
But everyone on the BWI, RU, Iowa, theMat and FLO can now proceed to carry on about the release that PSU is not giving Nick Suriano. #FREENICKEY

Holy over-reaction! I said if there was evidence of communication going on I could see it! I also said they were rumors! It sounds like Cael did grant Nick permission (at least a poster said so on BW) and I hope Nick success.
I saw that. Thanks for posting!! How connected is that poster? Is he a solid source?
I don't know anything about him. He is not one of the names I immediately recognize but that doesn't mean much as I am just a fan and not a person "in the know" He did say say NS to RU was a done deal weeks ago...

He stated on a thread that has since been locked that he gets his information from a friend that coaches at RU.
Bill are you saying he got a release to talk to other schools or that Cael granted him a release from his scholarship?
What over-reaction? You said you could see how Cael could restrict the waiver do to internet rumors perceived to be schools poaching his wrestlers. You stated it not me. I just said that's a really stupid excuse. Which guess what, it is.
Way to only use part of what I said- did you read the first half of the sentence!? I said "Now, IF Cael felt that Rutgers has been communicating with PSU players without the required written release, then I can understand why he would not support a waiver. "
The big IF was that Sanderson had reasons to believe communication was happening! But go ahead and continue with reading comprehension issues...
The fact that Nick Suriano has been attending summer school classes at PSU online doesn't prevent him from transferring for the fall semester, if he chooses to.
Where Nick Suriano decides to attend school this fall is the $64 question.
It was posted here as well. Taking that as a fact, it seems obvious (to me at least) that they are seeking a determination by the Big Ten on the loss of a competition year, which is the only other hurdle. Otherwise this would've been announced already.
No one knows the situation on that, and it would be best if everyone just waited until it plays out. There are too many people just spinning out of control with speculation on the process and/or on Nick's reasons.
