Maybe Nick is upset because Cael promised to get Rey Higuchi as an early Christmas present. But then Cael only got him Corey Keener. And a nice sweater.

All this drama has just been a way for Carl and psu to get yet another commitment from a top PFP wrestler
Bump. Suriano is gone per Ames2State, an insider on BWI
Division 1 men's wrestling is headed to club sport status, unless women's wrestling is widely adopted. The sport itself is relatively cheap and could serve a growing market on the women's side. Maybe we'd get 1500-2000 more per dual meet if women were to wrestle before the men. Might be more entertaining. At worst, the National Duals could be replaced by the National Women's Tournament. Probably more interest in that sort of event. Koll could combine the women's score with the men's and get his combined Team Champion.

I'm thinking more along the lines of 21 more fans.
Seriously, though, a women's championship tournament during a time between the last major weekend of men's duals and the conference championship/qualifier tournaments is not a bad idea. Not sure if it was 21's idea, but it is a good one, IMO. Of course, other things have to happen first . . . like at least 10 schools developing a full team.
I think it's a great idea. Pretending it will increase fan support by anything close to that at Iowa is absurd.
The Surianos must have had a pretty compelling case.
Well Cael didn't get his way...Has to be either the mishandling of the injury last year or NS wanted to go 133 and was told could not as the transfer coming is going there....
I don't know what the issue was but the NCAA wouldn't give him a transfer just because he wanted to go up a weight. He likely could have done that at PSU. Better to have NS than to not...except it probably would have affected recruiting. PSU could have given the NCAA a last minute endorsement of the transfer to help make it happen but this has been going on all summer.
Either the Suriano's had a seriously compelling case or someone pulled some strings

That is it the Jersey mob got to the Big Ten but can't understand why it took all summer..
Hearing Kyle Snyder loves the Jersey Shore. More good news may be coming.
And Im guessing that compelling case got 'splained to PSU admin in graphic detail when Nick's dad met them by himself awhile back. The 'splaination apparently didnt get through to them but DID to the ultimate deciders.
Are you saying there might be something not on the up in up at PSU and Suriano threatened to spill the beans unless they gave him what he was asking? Nnnnoooooo!!!!
I'm just saying that Mr Suriano may have presented a compelling case for release that was simply dismissed by PSU admin but not the Big10.
I think in a lot of these cases, the wrestler is told no about the release because it might be something trivial or short term situational; if the athlete is serious, than they continue to fight. Coaches want to try and fix things first and explore all avenues. If it is irreconcilable, I think they grant the release in most cases. I think in Nick's case, national ESPN forced PSU's and the B1G's case. That, and Mr Suriano sent some guys up to help the AD find his pen.

I heard that the Suriano's did feel as if TPSU did not handle the injury In a way they thought was appropriate. Who knows, I certainly don't, but it is a fact that the B10 is tough on transfers within the conference. It's a safe bet that If there wasn't something there he would not have gotten the waiver. They must have had a legitimate complaint. At least it's over and the thread on all the boards can move on. We wrestle Rutgers early December and we will find out then if Nick moves up or stays down.
I think you are mistaken. The Big10 authorized the full release IN SPITE of the position taken by PSU, not because PSU finally changed their minds.
Cael kicked him off the team because he wasn't "all in", which in turn means his release was granted.
For the record, PSU granted Soriano a release. It was then in the hands of the Big Ten, not the NCAA or PSU, as to whether he would have to sit out a year since that's the intraconference transfer rule. He needed a waiver from the conference and got it.
What PSU didn't do is endorse Soriano receiving a waiver. This all comes from the article above.
Not saying I blame PSU, btw. Why the conference approved a waiver, we do not know.

I'd be interested in your thoughts on " How it all went down this summer" regarding Nick
