    President to Sign Executive Order on College Sports - Changing transfer and redshirt rules

    When Gary Beban won the Heisman trophy for UCLA in 1967, the head coach of the Bruins, Tommy Prothro, told his players that he wanted them for two hours every weekday and all day on Saturday. Otherwise, their time was their own. That was college football at the highest level in the late 60s...

    raf tonight

    Yes. It was only a matter of time until the mean mugging and woofing led to something like this. RAF cannot expand the footprint of freestyle wrestling in any positive way It will only degrade it.

    Real American Freestyle: Interesting

    Agreed. And now Tito Ortiz is calling out Chael Sonnen for a RAF match. Seriously? Way too many WWE and UFC vibes for me. If this is the way to reach the masses, I would rather see freestyle wrestling remain a niche sport. Other opinions might be different.

    Pico

    Pico is what the old boxing guys used to call an action fighter, and with his name and the fact that he is an American, that will keep him in the UFC.
