Ever been to Lagos? I have...its a cesspool

The strict regulation of NIL and the elimination of the transfer portal.


Bingo. IMO, go to what NIL was supposed to be: if an athlete wanted to make money doing promotions, names on jersey etc no problem at all. Just eliminate all University & Booster related involvement. Agents highly regulated - agents can't recruit but athletes can reach out -and cap their cut at 2%.
Someone I'm close with has regular interaction with high level boosters at one particular SEC school. Booster fatigue at that school is very real. I really can't fathom casually dropping $500k in the pot for a WR. I could understand being frustrated that said WR is riding the bench, nearly flunking out but riding around town in a leased lambo. Only so many times guys like that are gonna keep ponying up.
Sark just hungover from too many nights at certain Austin bars.

But unless you can absolutely get on the field as a freshman, there won't be a point for a lot of these guys to go to 4 year schools. Anyone that isn't an instant contributor would be better off going to JUCO and keeping their options open.


JUCO is gonna be the smart move for alot of athletes in different sports. If they play their cards right, they will be better off in the long run than jumping right into the meat grinder considering you get 1 transfer after that.
Flo wrestling deleted the match. Can't find it anywhere. On the bout summary it didn't look like anything officially happened to instigate the head shove or punch.
It's the context that matters here. On the streets or a bar, yeah, we can call FAFO all day. This was the NHSCA Duals - an incredibly important offseason tournament with college coaches everywhere. The refs gave the head shover an unsportsmanlike and a team point was deducted (in wrestling a single point is huge at a dual). The kid that punched was given a flagrant & kicked out of the tournament. Heck, he may not be able to wrestle another NHSCA tournament or offseason tournament.

Forrest is an absolute prodigy. At such a young age, though, thats a lot of pressure to maintain.

Ferrari brothers bailing out on their teams. Brands brothers must have lost their minds.
"Stall to win" definitely gets a bit out of hand.
Forrest is looking more like a generational talent every day.
Freestyle wrestling is fun to watch.

Then they should have mentioned it in the 3 or 4 responses. The very least could have been "We don't talk to parents, refer to rule "whatever" and please discuss with the school."

We got it resolved. It was a few years back but it had to do with freshman eligibility, feeder school & zone bs. My daughter wasn't anything special but i was trying to make sure she would be eligible as a freshman.

What i found remarkably tone deaf is that whoever it was took the time to respond multiple times. Just tell me the damn rule dumb arse lol.

"It’s not that complicated - but I am curious as to why 3 schools are involved."

It was 2 private schools and public. 1 private was trying to help, the other private & the public were contradicting each other.
