And here we go again. Misrepresenting as often is the case. But then your friends here let you get away with it so why not. I NEVER misinformed anyone about aid counted or not counted by the NCAA. I simply quoted what was in their rules and regulations. I also never pointed it directly at PS. If you cannot read and comprehend that is your problem. But I really do not appreciate your lies on our forum. If nothing that PS does needs to be defended then why are you here continually doing it. If you want to read only positives then stay on your own board as I do mine.

You are either so full of sh** or live in a different world than most. If you think most average middle class parents who are struggling just to make ends meet would turn down a full scholarship or even a half scholarship for their kid just to wrestle for the beloved PSU wrestling team you are crazy. You can beat that drum as long as you want, I'm not buying it. If your theory is right show me the last Iowa or OSU walk on who was a national champ....good luck!
Don't you believe Iowa had guys over the years who turned down full rides elsewhere to wrestle for Gable for less?
I'll take Diceman in an information slugfest against both of you any time, any day. Sometimes one has to take off their Hawk and Nittany Lion glasses and see what each poster brings to the table. Diceman is connected to the high school scene, and his information is to be respected whether you appreciate it or not.
... and yes, parents will enroll their kids at the school they want to wrestle whether it costs a lot more or not. Not all obviously, but many.

This! Cassioppi would give Nevills all he can handle. Gable is on a different level, but Cassioppi can absolutely go with every other HWT in the country. He's a top 15-20 recruit that is currently under ranked.
He is definitely as talented as Nevills coming out of high school. It will be interesting to see how they develop in their college rooms.
Yes, I absolutely do believe that. Where their parents could afford it and especially with in state tuition. I think the same thing happens at PS, Ohio St, Ok St. and other schools. Maybe not many or most but those where the wrestler grew up watching and wanting to wrestle at that school and where the parents were able to comfortably foot the bill. However, all families are not capable of forgoing a full or even partial scholarship, assuming academic or other aid is not available to them. Out of state tuition and fees can range well over $125,000 over a 4-5 year period. Sure no one is denying that a top 5 p4p recruite could get a full ride at a number of schools to eleminate his parents of that financial burden.
OK. We've been through this before. Fact is, you did come out and say need-based financial aid counted towards the 9.9 at first, then you backtracked when I called you on it.
And you are still sticking to your story that you never pointed it at PS(U), when you posted it in a thread about PSU recruiting. And then you do the same thing on here, when PSU recruiting is being discussed. But, yeah, you don't point it directly at PSU. It's called allusion, but stick to your guns about not mentioning PSU by name.
Honestly, I wouldn't try to stick it to you all the time if you just posted that you misposted on the financial aid and then got informed, and if you were just like "I think PSU is cheating, but I don't have any evidence." But you weasel it every time.
I live in the same world that you do. Average middle class parent that struggles with the burden of college costs. Just because I struggle with it, doesn't mean I'm not prepared to go above and beyond to do the best for my kids.
So I guess I must be full of sh&*t...
Penrith is the only one I can think of, and that was a long time ago. Hoping Mejia is next.
Kind of supports both arguments: blue-chip walk-ons are obviously rare. But every now and then...
Iowa has had a host of wrestlers turn down much better offers over the years because they wanted to wrestle for Iowa. It probably still happens. These aren't rich kids/families, either.
You manipulate everything you post on here. Need based is based on need and no one but the school and FAFSA DICTATES AND DECIDES WHO QUALIFIES. We were talking about non qualified aid which would not include need based nor academic aid as determined by the institution and available to all students on an equal basis.....as per NCAA rules and regs. That is excactly what I posted. Get that through your head. Obviously you do not like me and therefore, I have every right to feel the same about you.

I have said from the beginning that need-based aid (qualified) does not count against the 9.9. Not sure why I would have taken exception to you stating the same. If so then I must have a reading comprehension problem. Or I remember it differently than you.
I have no idea if I like you or not - most guys that post here there and everywhere and generally good guys who love wrestling. I just think you post like a weasel. Throwing crap out there that everyone knows is obviously directed at one school and then hiding behind the fact that you didn't name the school directly. That's just being a sh*t-stirrer without the acknowledgement of it.
But being a good guy in the real world and and getting enjoyment being a sh*t-stirrer on a message board are not mutually exclusive I guess.
I would totally agree. We were talking walk-ons or little to no money at all. A big difference.
Verk ain't the only one taking less to go there, in these recent classes... Some of these kids from means.
I see Bael as someone who is more likely walk out than walk on.
does stepping on people count as walking on?
83% sure he took geography classes with an NCAA champ.
