well yeah, but is Kerk not the plan for NLWC for the next quad at 125 kg?
I'm not so sure it worked as well as you think. DT is gone and Nolf is doing BJJ

What happened to apartments and 1/2mil money bags courtesy of the thirsty Hawks? About face.......and March.
Edit: This was not his post I was referring to so now Im walking it back. Sorry @smalls103

3 one-year rentals may give a “dependent on mercenaries to compete” vibe (perfected by Michigan), but so what? If NIL changed the game, playing the new rules makes sense. And if hired guns bring March trophies, no fan cares if points were homegrown or came off the waiver wire. One thing’s sure: With DT at OkSt, Bucks loaded, Hawks fuel-injected with incoming AA’s, and Lions stalking a 4-peat, this season will be one helluva wild ride!
Till then, enjoy the rest of summer! But first, celebrate Spencer’s well-earned Silver at his reception, and if it still brings him no joy, take it off his hands to display at the new facility.
Pro teams do 1 year rentals all the time.
you know that wasn't me that said that, right?
You did say teemer had a 500k offer. The apts and living in IC are all mineo and Multi though.
Also does anyone know what this means? What happened in Carver?
I thought Teemer might be objecting to Mineo actually conveying something 100% truthful for once, so Jacori was suggesting Mineo stay in his lane and only Tweet stuff he completely makes up from whole cloth.
no worries. it happens. just wanted to make sure it was clear that i didn't say (and know nothing about) any apartments.
Just a question. The 500k isn't all cash right? Like it's food, cars, education, etc.? I'm sure there is an allowance, but surely it's not here is 500 thousand dollars. Also I get it's a one year for college rental, but does the deal include him staying and training for HWC afterwards?
That's a great question. Maybe it includes the Beamer that AJ left behind.
Sorry, I have to repost the tweet in case Yub doesn't know. (And it's still hilarious.)
I would imagine that if Willie heard $500k, that part is correct. it could perhaps be inclusive to competing/training with HWC after graduation though. that would seem to make more sense, especially given Multi-Hawks reaction
He might get a Ford Fiesta from NCU or whoever is entertaining him nowadays! Lol
Probably something like $500k payable annually as the minimum of $18k (for tax year 2024) and the federal gift tax limit thereafter until the last year (not to exceed 28 years from now) when the total gifted reaches $500k.
For tax purposes (zero income for the athlete) that's how I'd currently structure my metaphorical $500k bags o' ca$h.
All done as a verbal contract with a handshake. Totally untraceable. That's why I won't be voluntarily registering as a NIL entity should the NCAA's recent proposals come to fruition.

me too. I wrote the check. I can give up a months salary to help the team. BFD
Mineo is a freaking clown. It's extremely weird how obsessed he is with bashing Iowa. Mineo was also one of the worst athletes to ever step on a mat!
I said they found apartments, not that they are paid for.
Again, nobody is being paid $500K in any way shape or form.
Or maybe engagement farming….unfortunately just like many on this site it’s too hard for them to ignore and not engage. So the outcome is him getting traffic and this site being the cesspool. Too many people refuse to ignore obvious trolling and threads quickly go to shit via religion or politics.
yes. they are. and others were offered it.
In the current environment, unless you are personally writing or cashing the check, I am not buying statements from people who claim to know with certainty how much college athletes are paid. It's a bunch of he says - she says nonsense that doesn't pass the snicker test.

He’ll need something like that with great mileage, if he ends up at Cal St Bakersfield, so he can afford the gas. Those double birds probably cost him hundreds of thousands.
If I was a betting man on who knows more about the bag size, I’d bet on Multi.
I would think so too but it seems kind of obvious Willie has someone on the inside fairly high up feeding him info all the time. They must want the info out there because it wouldn’t be hard to figure out who’s feeding the info. Seems like a double edged sword having the numbers out there for all to know. Some kids will get excited at the numbers thrown at them, some will get pissed and ask why they aren’t offered more.
Mineo is a punk. Regardless if it is about Iowa (which it is a lot) his lack of accurate information is ridiculous. He is very detrimental to wrestling. Why we keep him relevant or allow him to be a part of this sacred community is beyond me. Total loser.
If one year rentals that are not even NCAA champs are getting paid $500K then I might be for colleges dropping wrestling and the US going to club freestyle. That is hard to say but this is getting ridiculous. I am not sure I buy it either. That means if I have a team of 8 top placers then we are spending 4 million a year?
Considering that Iowa wrestling had a $1.27M deficit in 2023 for the university, I'd say that all future spending needs to be through boosters. If they can pony up $4M a year, why not?
Iowa athletics posts first 7-figure surplus in 5 years
Iowa athletics recovered from its financial losses from COVID-19, bringing in $167.4 million in income during the 2023 fiscal year.
www.nytimes.com
"The men’s basketball program collected more than $5 million in media rights and ended with a $4.33 million surplus. Wrestling and women’s basketball have local radio rights deals totaling $150,000, a key reason why those sports’ expenses were $4.4 million (women’s basketball) and $1.27 million (wrestling) over income."
Sounds like wrestling didn't get any revenue credit for the B1G money that came in.
Look guys sounds like Buch is on board and Teemer is at least 50/50 maybe more like 70/30 on board but if this lineup can’t give psu all they want I would be shocked.
Cruz: ???
Ayala: Top 3
Block: Low AA-rd of 12
Parco: Top 3
Teemer: Top 3
Cali: Top 3
Arnold/PK: Top 5 or 6
Brands: Top 3
Buch: Top 3
Big Ben: AA
Top 3’s all have pretty damn good shots at finals and even winning it.

PSU would still be very hard to catch, but this is at least a team with the firepower to maybe catch them if they falter a bit.
I think you're slightly strong on Parco and Brands but not by much. I'd say 4-6 for those two. 174 could underperform some. I'd be happy with 6-8 at that weight. All in all, a pretty decent take. 120-130 points if everything came together.
Compared to PSU
LL: Top 3 in my opinion he’s very good
Nagao: 6-rd12
BB: Top 3
SVN: Top 5 if he comes back the same way before injury Top 3
Kasak: Top 5
MM: Champ
Haines: Top 3
Star: Champ
Cochran: 6-Rd12
Kerk: Champ
