197 Next Year

They are the rules, whether or not they are enforced is the issue

The original NCAA rule on NIL is that a recruit couldn't talk turkey with a collective until after they signed a LOI which pretty much amounted to a "Trust me bro" system that didn't make sense. It gave the colleges all the bargaining power. A judge ruled against the NCAA and the case had to go back to court leaving any rules up in the air. Now it's like the wild west. Boosters and collectives can contact rostered athletes whether in the portal or not. Additionally, the NCAA got rid of the Letter of Intent program in favor of contracts.

The coaches on staff still have to adhere to the same contact rules.

Now I like seeing wrestlers get paid but one has to wonder if this will be beneficial for men's college wrestling in the future. I don't know that it will.

Court ruling frees booster-backed collectives to negotiate NIL deals with recruits

What exactly last week's ruling of a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit brought by the attorneys general of Tennessee and Virginia means is still being sorted out by the NCAA

Nobody is ok with this rather feel we are going down the right path with recruiting currently. Personally I feel kicking the tires is not worth the potential harm. Given the history and the failed attempt last year just move on. The effort is better spent recruiting elsewhere. Everyone that wants to entertain it acts like there is no downside.

I don't know about anyone else but I absolutely know there could be a large downside.

Get ready for the shit storm you are about to receive from all the know it alls that are ok with 2nd through 5th every year.

Why settle for 2nd through 5th when you can bring in criminal miscreants to disrupt the team and shoot for 10th?

Criminal miscreants. Plural? Both brothers, maybe?

Is that your pot shot for the day?

Do we bring in AJ for a year or go after a guy like Stephen Little from Ark Little Rock for 2 years while Ludington gets his young legs under him?
Ludington would have the opportunity his second year to beat out Little if we go that route. We should probably talk to Angelo and see if not bringing AJ back for a year is going to bother him or not. I don't know if AJ would be worth th

Unless an athlete is in the portal he can’t get on it…

or "go after" them...

 

[HugoBear]

The "War is NOT over" boys!!!! Matter of fact, I believe it is just starting. Talks of the great Krailure bringing in Ono, now Taylor also bringing in a JAP????

It is NO HOLDS BARRED my friends!!! I am NOT getting what you all are missing??? IOWA didn't start this "war", that was some FAT$$$Man in NOT so happy low lying shEEEEt hole!!! Does NOT matter how you all want to TWIST it!?!?!?!?

They used MONEY to out recruit EVERYONE else by 5,6, 10X and now with NIL and a runaway train of wins, it becomes that much harder to TAKE EM OUT!!!!

EVERY other team has to look at EVERYTHING possible to build a team that will overtake these lying. cheating sacks O SheeeeT!!! Currently, NOTHING less then TEN HAMMERS will get it done.

CERTAINLY taking a shot at AJ would be a risk!!! Taking DeSanto was a risk TWOOOO and there was others. Some work, some don't!!! Once again, IF there was a path forward that had reasonable expectations that it would work and BENEFIT IOWA WRESTLING??? Then by all means, take a shot!!!

Nothing like a racial slur to show your true colors. Sheesh

I would say a borderline slur. It all depends on the intent. In this case, it is in admiration to their wrestling abilities and how desirable that would be to Iowa. Here is from wiki -

Jap is an English abbreviation of the word "Japanese". In some places, it is simply a contraction of the word and does not carry negative connotations,[citation needed] whereas in some other contexts it can be considered a slur.

 

[HugoBear]

Jap​

adjective/noun​

Slang: Extremely Disparaging and Offensive.

1. a contemptuous term used to refer to a Japanese person.

Ever hear of a JAP DOUBLE???? How about a JAP WHIZZER???

LOL, the GREATEST GENERATION refer to people like you as panty waists!!! They would also say, "do you squat to pee?" I guess to a coward like yourself, these are somehow racist TWOOOOO????

Lets see some YELLOW belly such as yourself, post something about what has taken place right here in AMERICA!!! A real lot of VILE stuff took place and I bet you didn't say a F-in word!!!! I also bet 100% you didn't defend the women and young ladies who were under attack!

You are a soft pathetic person and a real problem to the country if you want to speak the truth!!! You can SEE BELLOW- that is correct. You may try and twist it, but it does not matter!!!

It's not a pot shot at the Iowa program. The program correctly identified which brother is worth keeping and kicked the others to the curb. It's a pot shot at the short sighted fans who are still somehow trying to defend the cluster B brothers and bring the others back.

Yeah I don’t get it. I’m on record at the time saying I didn’t agree with bringing AJF aboard, but also I felt TnT deserved the benefit of the doubt due to their track record with these situations. It didn’t work out (which is fine) so to me, we close the book and move on.

 

[TailgateTom]

I feel really sorry for you.

I was going to comment at the time that I thought Bird was older than dirt which would explain his word choice. Not defending by any means, just explaining. Then he comes out with that masterpiece….lol

I do NOT feel sorry for you!!! You get what you deserve/earn and you obviously don't get shEEEEt !!!!!

This is really the important part. Kudos for TnT for bringing him in in the first place and giving it a shot. Everyone would not have (did not) do that. They did, they tried to add a National Champ to the line up. They gave him rope, which he hung himself by. Then, they wisely moved on. Kudos for moving on, kudos for trying. When you have a break up with that girl of your dreams, it never works to get back together. Never. Let her find someone else.

Another issue stemming from the "internet" and social media. We live in a panty-waist society. Almost any word you use will trigger someone. Everyone ignores intent and context to race to be offended. Damn near EVERY word can be a "slur" depending on intent and context. Add in whether or not you dislike the source and you are just salivating at the opportunity to blow something out of proportion.

If he were bragging about his grandfather killing a bunch of "japs" in WWII or a relative putting "japs" in internment camps. Yes, be offended. How he used it here, makes you look like a "panty-waist" racing to faux "feel sorry" for him...

YES TY

Was it you who was complaining about your son losing at a tournament and they then decided they didn't have enough time for WBs and you were so upset? If so who's the real PANTY WAIST.

No sure if you're trying to be the 2025 version of Kentucky Mudflap or you're just being annoying

You need to remove yourself from this page and really EVERYTHING to do with wrestling!!! I was not upset, I was down right pissed off at what took place in that POS tournament!!! Was NOT only about my kid, was about every kid who got screwed. Problem was, there were people such as you running it!

Maybe you never actually wrestled??? Guessing you never competed in anything worthwhile!?!?!? That being said, EVERYTHING you compete in, MUST have RULES!!! The asshats screwed up royally and no one I spoke with ever heard of anything like it!!!

See the HUGE difference between MEN and PANTY WAISTS like you are, MEN will stand up for what is right regardless of the situation, For example, I do not want to see LADIES taken advantage of, abused, hurt in anyway!!!! I do not have a daughter, but I will go out of my way to defend women's sports. I do not even like many of the sports, but I will stand up for them to compete FAIRLY!!!

I challenged you and MANY wussies like you to stand up for the positions you supposable support. For example, here, you started this BS because your panties got in a bundle OVER WORDS!!! Words that have CLEARLY been proven NOT to be racist as you falsely claimed. BUT if you are so high on the hawg about these things???? Lets hear you speak out about the REAL racist events taking place!!!

You will NOT because you are a worthless sack-o-SHeeeeeT!!!

AND don't ever mention MUDFLAP again!!!! People like you would make him PUKE!!!

Many here know who I am and I have been around long enough to know that you don't know shit. I did wrestle for 14 years. You call people names yet you pout over little Johnny losing and then not getting more matches. Winners Win. FYI when I was wrestling at the state tournament in IL it was single elimination and if your guy didn't make the finals you didn't get to WB. Tell little Johnny to be tougher than dad and not lose

I like a lot of what you say on here, but this is a ridiculous stance. Are you a parent? If something was done, against the rules, that hurts your child unfairly, of course you complain about it. Now, that doesn't mean you don't use it as a teaching point to show them that life IS unfair.

But, it is YOUR JOB to fight for your kid. Hopefully, you do everything you can to get them to a point that you don't need to, but, if a situation happens, you bleed for them more than you would for yourself....

With that said, there are many openings Ironbird leaves to insert knives into, choose something better!
