    Fat stacks of cash not available, only revenue sharing, making the differences between schools smaller. not sure if that’s why, but I was wondering if that would have an effect.

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

    I was trying to think of a tactful, non-political way to say the same. Not sure where in the constitution this power is granted, but I’m not a lawyer.

    Somebody said that with JW leaving, the roster is at 29. So they can only pick up 1 wrestler? Seems hard to believe. There is more than 1 hole.

    Transfer Portal 2026 + Other team movements

    Aside from Gable Steveson, nearly every heavyweight needs a year or two of competition to get to the top of the podium. Look at how many heavies were seniors this year. Remember Kerk struggled initially, too? I’m optimistic on Cole.

    Information

    I ALSO have it on good authority that a very good new wrestler will be joining the team soon. 1. He has been wrestling from a young age 2. He has competed in many tournaments 3. Strong work ethic 4. He wears headgear in scholastic competition 5. He has gotten takedowns in many matches

    '26 Pittsburgh Wrestling Classic thread

    I use this tool, and was able to read it. https://www.removepaywall.com/ note there are 4 options (4 buttons at the top) that give you 4 different chances at reading a website. I was able to read this page using option 2. Works about 83% of the time, maybe more.

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

    OkSt will be great competition in maybe 2 years. Next year they bring in Ross at HWT and the Raneys. They return 116 points. Maybe one of the Raneys can go 149, beat out Swiderski, and score a few more points. But at a lot of weights they topped out last year and won’t get more next year...

    Bassett

    Beat him worse that anyone else Joy wrestled this year. If he were coming to PSU we would have him penciled in as a 4x’er.

    Perhaps the sign of a master troll is to not make it obvious he is trolling?

    Championship Thread

    How so? I worked with one once who f‘d me up professionally, so I know a little about them. They are over-represented in prisons and corporate management. I don’t see it, here, though.

    No more fat bags of cash due to the clearinghouse, with the goal of no pay-to-play. This is the first cycle with the new system, it’s gonna be interesting to see how it shakes out. I’m guessing fewer transfers.

    2026 NCAA Championship Session VI Thread

    The other 5, Mikey gets MM in an arm triangle and chokes him out. Almost got it locked up last night.

    2026 NCAA Championship Session V Thread

    Seems that is evidence any injury in the previous match wasn’t too bad. I wondered if his loss was a result (in part) of being injured.

    Medal round thread

    I don’t like it. Points he scored on the backside could have helped in the team race.
