Cassar Gets 2 med years
- Thread starter Scryed
- Start date
In unrelated news, Gable Stevenson just decided that he's considering a red-shirt.
Good for him to get more chances to hit his goals but seriously he’ll have spent 8 years in college and not gotten a medical degree. Is it really worth it to stick around?
If he doesn't want to go MMA or get a job, why not try for 2 more Med years and attempt to be the first 5 Timer?
The PA Wrestling Room on Facebook is an impeccable source. (Not that it isn't true.)
That's good news for Cassar and his family. Makes me feel bad for guys like Drew Ott and the likes.
At most places guys can't afford to spend that long in college.
Once Gable starts filling out into a man I wouldn't want to be Cassar or any USA HWT at team trials. Last year Cassar was a man wrestling a boy wonder.
Same for Warner...once he starts losing his baby fat...
Perhaps this is fake news but I see the Penn state forum lighting up with cheer about it as well so I'm guessing it is true. I really am not a fan of a 2 year extension, cassar is going to be older than Matt brown was when he graduated
Yea, I think you are correct, but then again this would be F*** st. and rules just don't seem to apply the same for them.
So with there relatively new "gray' shirts, added to the Red shirt, + TWO med shirts. F*** st Wrestlers can now get 8 years!?!?!?!
Oh wait, forgot an Olympic year, Hardship waiver, did not enroll thing.......
So technically their guys can Wrestle for however long it takes. Grab some PEDs and re-event yourself after the regular time frame!!! UNREAL!
6 Years, and Gray Shirts and PED's, oh my! Penn State is CHEATING!
......and Vodka liked it. Shocking!
I know providing examples of things actually happening will get me labeled a troll here, but I just can't help myself.
NCAA awards Missouri All-American Grant Leeth two additional years of eligibility
https://www.trackwrestling.com/tw/PortalPost.jsp?postId=674164132
Call it whatever you want D-bag!!! It was very clear to everyone exactly what cassar did!
Many others in college do it too so a D-bag like you may think its OK. I for one would crack down real hard on the BS because it takes away from those who do it right!
Regardless, once again, if this is true and the NCAA gave this guy 2 more years. Then they are about the most useless bunch of A-holes running anything!
This will just allow ANY team with a bunch of money to disregard the eligibility rules completely. As someone already posted in another Thread, you just claim you are hurt and get another year.
I would ask the NCAAs and the F*** st dummies. What exactly was he doing in those "2 years he missed?"
Was he practicing at all? Was he rehabbing? Where was he rehabbing? Who was paying for it? Was he with the team in ANY manner? Was he taking classes at F*** st.? Was he getting any scholly money? If not who was paying for school then? Who is paying now?
The list goes on and on!!!!
That being said. Big Cass beats him anyway!
I'm fine with that I hope they issue medical red shirts fairly and often going forward. I would be surprised if he stays two more years . Even if he gets on full scholarship that's 2 years that you are still going to school and not making money. That would be tough if you are ready to graduate.
It's really not much different than mormon wrestlers going on their trips or missions or whatever and coming back years later with eligibility remaining
My gosh, don't give Carl any more ideas .... Half the damn team will be on a mormon mission by next week.
Would be funny if it wasn't true. They are talking about at least 1/2 their line up being on a 6th or more year plan right now.Cassar at the caf...
What will they do down the road, get Jordan Burroughs???
Not sure why people can't understand this very some point .it all has to be DOCUMENTED for the student to get an extension for Eligibility. Why do you insist on sharing this B's about students just saying they are hurt and doing whatever.
Cassar definitely deserved at least one year, and he had a very strong case to get two years under the "new" rules. Good for him. It's similar to Grant Leeth's situation
Makes me feel sick for Drew Ott though, who couldn't even get a fifth year. If he was around today I would have to think it would've been different for him

Cassar had at least one surgery on his shoulder, which was the reason he missed one of his years.
Cassar's injury history is very well documented and its not like the details are just coming out now. He's been a shoe-in case for at least a sixth year for a few seasons now
Not making money? Are you kidding? He will be well compensated or he would go the MMA route. Does it take 7 years to get a B.S. in tan, laundry, gym?
If T&T would be able to recruit some of the talent away from PSU, Cael wouldn't need to be so creative.
So, Iowa is driving Penn State's success. That's an angle I hadn't thought of. Here, I thought he was getting creative because he had too many blue chippers that wanted to wrestle for him.
Not sure what all the outrage is about. This was on the radar for quite a while and discussed a lot. And it remains to be seen whether Cassar opts to take 2, 1, or 0 of the granted years we all knew were coming.
Heard if Cassar doesn't take these medical years that Stevenson would transfer here just to get a national title because of Cael's coaching...
Cassar's MMA agent will have to fund his peds for 2 more years. That's a lot to ask for an uproven guy with health injuries before he found Taylor's fountain of youth in a bottle.
Be serious though...this is a tad out of control. 75 years to wrestle 4? Come on...even you wouldn’t want to see any national champ get two additional years for a rival team no matter the circumstances. That’s too much considering it’s hard to get one single year back. Of course HR is going to b@tch about it. Come back in an hr or so and say something along the lines of “yes, it’s shocking and we are fortunate but the cheating allegations are uncalled for”. I think that will go over much better. Or do us all a solid and don’t come back at all? Yeah.
Screw it...bring Cory Clark back in for 3 more. I KNOW he’s deserving.
