    Happy Easter

    I'm not a church goer. I was baptized Catholic, but went to a Methodist Church when I was child with my father. Later became a Methodist and enjoyed a Minister that became a friend of mine. We would ski on occasion. His wife fought cancer for years and he could relate to the every day...

    POTUS executive order -- 5 total years + 1 transfer limit starting Aug 1?

    Aside from the political divide that this post has taken a turn on. My concern is that without portal restraint and standard NIL guidelines, college athletics is entering a very dark tunnel. I think a majority of college coaches are concerned about it. I just watched South Carolina Dawn Staley...

    If you didn't cut and paste those names, that is pretty impressive. I had trouble spelling Mark Hall 😏

    POTUS executive order -- 5 total years + 1 transfer limit starting Aug 1?

    I guess you don't think mid level programs might just put their hands up and say" no mas" . I think some school administrators will be looking to cut funding for sports programs. Numerous schools in the PSAC have down sized sports budgets when the State under Wolf reduced Secondary School...

    POTUS executive order -- 5 total years + 1 transfer limit starting Aug 1?

    Baseball has a mess on its hands and next year agreement will be nasty. Allowing the Dodgers to difer Ohtani money created a more uneven playing field. I for one think football is the best run pro sports league. The reason was the Mara's and Rooney's recognized the teams would share in outside...

    POTUS executive order -- 5 total years + 1 transfer limit starting Aug 1?

    Hopefully the student athletes recognize that the current situation will eventually cause less of a opportunity when programs start to be dissolved. The high end student athlete is now be treated like a very sought after corporate hire . With corporate contracts comes guidelines of non compete...

    POTUS executive order -- 5 total years + 1 transfer limit starting Aug 1?

    Something needs to happen. I listened last week to Dan Patrick interview Danny Hurley. Hurley spoke how the current situation is going to decimate the mid majors. Patrick asked what is the biggest 1 year NIL deal he heard of.. Hurley said 4 1/2 million! Jim Jordan also was recently interviewed...

    2025-2026 college wrestling TV numbers

    It's obvious that the ESPN hub benefits from being offered to base subscribers by looking at the Iowa-Iowa State numbers. I would like to know what a Penn State vs Iowa or Ohio State match would draw on ESPN. Would you ever see a day when "2 unnamed schools" offer to meet independently and put...

    Why Social Media is enriching our lives, while it eats away at the fabric of our society.

    My nephew's son just won U8 65lb PJW PA States in Harrisburg today. He met Levi and Josh at an autograph table . I'll try to post picture of them.

    What happened to funky wrestling?

    Before Askren , Rico Chipperelli in the 1980s for Iowa was very funky. I played softball with the Blair Academy Coach Bob Latessa when Rico was wrestling for them. Bob knew I liked wrestling and told me to come to a match specifically to watch him. He nailed a kid with a big throw first period.

    Transfer Portal 2026 + Other team movements

    Crookham's degree was in Finance. Seems to me U-M has landed a couple grad students. Below would be an option. U-M Ann Arbor (Quantitative Finance & Risk Management): A 3-term, 36-credit program jointly overseen by the Departments of Mathematics and Statistics.

    Transfer Portal 2026 + Other team movements

    I got a text this morning about Crookham from a insider from Lehigh. He does not know on destination. I had posted mid season that Santoro and staff were fed up with his health issues. Lehigh doctor would say one thing Crookham's doctor would say something else . I think he might be a grad...

    Why Social Media is enriching our lives, while it eats away at the fabric of our society.

    My nephew was a first generation wrestler. He made it to PA States (2nd District 11 and Regionals) his junior year. He ended it up with 98 victories in about 3 seasons. He lost his first semester his freshman year when he transferred from Pius to Bangor. He then lost his late December and...

    26-27 Rosters

    I am thinking Penn State might consider 1or 2 Redshirts.
