BoilerUp !
🫢 Look out... Schaef's gonna be a problem.
In his collegiate debut, freshman Isaiah Schaefer had a shocking run to the Tiger Style finals, going 3-1 on his first day in a Purdue singlet.
His first career match was a 12-3 major decision upset over #25 Kade Moore.

The biggest scam in sports is NFL teams getting billions of dollars in taxpayer money to build a new stadium, then turning around and raising hundreds of millions more by forcing fans to buy PSLs before it even opens.
Terry Pegula says #BillsMafia has contributed $263 million in PSL sales in building Highmark Stadium.
Yes, a major accomplishment worth celebrating annually. Also, forced AD (loser) hand to keep other sports on the blocks.
Happy #KeptStanfordWrestling Day! 🎉 Celebrate responsibly.

Give an inch, they take 10 miles ! NCAA, fat bureaucratic College Athletic depts following in the IOC (Olympics) footsteps. The gold standard of corrupt.
There should be zero exceptions, including religious reasons. Exceptions are how this mess all got started (religious missions, Olympic red shirts, COVID years, etc.). Have a reasonable standard and hold the line. Sometimes shit happens and it's out of your control, but we have to get back to college-age kids playing college sports.
Go #BoilerBlaze !!
#BoilerBlaze Up !
Agree. Especially in high school, too many defensive paths to a "stalemate", when control seems established.
I can think of at least 10 situations in folkstyle that if we started calling "control" instead of "stalemate" or "potentially dangerous," we'd have more scoring and you would reward offense, thus seeing more offensive attacks.
Right now, it's an all-or-nothing game. If you don't gain 100% control beyond any shadow of a doubt, you score zero. If we started liberalizing what control is and awarding points easier and forcing the defensive guy to show that he's not in control vs. the offensive guy to demonstrate he's completely in control, we would see more activity. It would be a big change for folkstyle wrestling. And I think a lot of people would hate it initially. Just like we all hated the freestyle rules as they changed. But as we got used to new definitions, it would make for a better product
A "miss" of extraordinary proportion for the FS Athletic department. Also, would attract a fan base much larger than other non- football sports. Embarrassing.
The most ludicrous thing about college sports is that the universities don't have to cater to their tax-base at all. Case in point - Fresno State (California State University at Fresno) could field a team of nationally ranked high school kids at every weight class from schools within 10 miles of campus. Zero interest.
Top 25 kids within 10 miles of campus:
106 - 3
113 - 2
120 - 1
126 - 2
132 - 1
138 - 1
144 - 1
150 - 1
157 - 0 (but one 40 miles away)
165 - 0
175 - 0
190 - 1
215 - 1
285 - 0
