    Story: Penn State wrestling blasts Maryland: Takeaways, a Brady Berge update, more

    Aaron wrestled in Maryland a long time. Youth State tournaments through HS. That crowd was 75% blue and white. Sold out! Had people standing cuz all the seats were sold out. He was a little excited 😊

    Story: Penn State wrestling blasts Maryland: Takeaways, a Brady Berge update, more

    My two cents on Berge is the less weight someone with concussion issues cuts, the better. Keep him hydrated and healthy. Then see if he makes the lineup. Nothing is given.

    Sanderson not happy

    Honestly I appreciate the passion and craziness of fans. It adds to the intensity and humor sometimes. It’s just entertainment. Our goals as parents and most coaches I’m sure is to teach these young men positive habits and discipline.

    Cael doesn’t get very angry about anything. You can’t be one way about things and then not level headed about others. Cael looks at adversity as an opportunity. We have a real leader not some screaming midget. Relax and enjoy the team. The January version is gonna be 🔥!

    Ok, so my son attends Penn State. So, this would be why we have no clue of additional payments to athletes? I’m trying to figure out who the elephant in the room is lol! I know who it is not, What schools boosters are paying the college recruits or athletes above market value?

    I like that all the participants are in agreement, but with different solutions. It is all doable with communication.

    Agreed, I am more international. I think PSU was $100 per day max, but I’m not 100%. I’d like to see it all work!

    Great points and insight! It’s a tougher fix than it appears. There has to be a way to track the unreasonable camp payments. I run a club and anything we do with NCAA athletes goes through that schools compliance. I can tell you we can only pay reasonable wages. The NCAA doesn’t allow pictures...

    You won’t find any NCAA regulation on RTC. You are correct. The NCAA shouldn’t have anything to do with Freestyle or Greco and definitely would lower the budgets for them. I wouldn’t want them regulating something they have nothing to do with. A good question would be why would the NCAA regulate...
