and honestly, that is okay. Can't sacrifice the long term for the short term. Know when to walk away with the loss but still have your integrity. Other kids and parents will notice that.
Are you 100% on this Jax thing? Or just posting hoping you're right and can say told you so? Because I don't believe Jax has made his decision yet. He definitely hasn't notified any coaches thats for sure. But maybe you know the family 🤷
Pat tweeted then deleted yesterday that Jax was rumored to be down to OSU and Iowa.
The article reflected he was going to announce tomorrow. It is down to four programs and we are one of them. The total package was $5 million with a corporate entity being part of the NIL, so not all out of one college. Bo commented that the $5 million was not accurate.
Look, it doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure this out.
Iowa is in panic-mode after the curbstomping they got at PSU. It showed them, really, how far they are away from competing for a title and their money men didn't help them much.
So yes, if it's Iowa, it's money and there really isn't another way to explain that.

I don't have a problem with Pat. But not sure why everyone believes everything he says when he's been known to just delete things that aren't true. The wrestling world should start dividing any $ Pat puts out regarding Iowa in at least 1/2
People can hate on Iowa all they want but they're currently the biggest brand in college wrestling even though they've won 1 title in 15 years
The viewership #s and the way they travel to aways duals says differently. Who do you think is?
Idk maybe the team the has won the past 10 or so championships?
Iowa is still is the big draw on TV and in ticket sales. Iowa almost doubles Penn St. ticket sales.
Don't let actual facts get in the way of a discussion 🤣. And don't forget they double everyone's NIL $ 🤣
Hawkeyes tops again in Division I men’s wrestling home attendance

I'm not a fan of everything Iowa does but the way they support the sport is awesome
I’m not 100%, but I can say our staff feels extremely good about this.
Home crowd support doesn't equal biggest brand. I think Iowa absolutely kills it with supporting their team. That is a different conversation though. Penn State IS college wrestling right now.
The ole Mineo post and delete. A standard maneuver for ole Patty.
You really believe that? Sure, Iowa has a brand, but each year it tarnishes even more. I would even say that in a couple years, OSU may overtake Iowa in branding. PSU is currently the biggest brand in college wrestling, and I'd say that even if I wasn't a fan of the team. Society has become a "what have you done for me lately" crowd. Guys my age (61) remember the heydey of Iowa wrestling where beating a Hawkeye in the semis was a notable feat. Oberebo, 45 years my senior, can remember when the same could be said about OSU. Someday PSU will fall and someone else will be the biggest brand in college wrestling.
Damn, I knew Obe was old but I had no idea he was 106!
he looks a lot younger than he really is. I like Oberebo and so hope this brings a smile to his face. I wish I had personal knowledge of wrestling starting in the 50s/60s. He is an encyclopedia and has my utmost respect.
