You didn't refute what I said. I'll repeat, if you can only come up with one plausible explanation, it's because your thinking is limited.

Read the findings on OSU probation, Iowa was doing the same at the time. They didn't change the rules. Iowa went beyond that level and then PSU took it to a new level. The NCAA evidently just decided they no longer cared or at least didn't care about non-revenue sports. And plenty of coaches knew exactly what PSU was doing.
...we were "out" and now we are "in" and may the best team win...there just takes some more time to make sure our cylinders are filled or being filled...OSU carried the flag and support of wrestling nationally/internationally for almost 100 years...but '"sharing" will be soon in disregard...best to all.............rs
Just because certain folks claim Penn State was participating in illegal activities does not make it true. Just because certain folks claim Cael did nothing wrong does not make that true either. The burden of proof however lies with the accuser. OSU is in a great place now, I would prefer to focus on the present and future.
I did mention in the Open thread that he was wearing orange shoes on the mat during the tournament. I don’t see a bigger sign than that. Felt like a silent commitment to me.
We were paralyzed from heavy handed sanctions given to us by the NCAA, and we could not/would not overcome them. It was past time for John to go. The sanctions given to us were not the norm and caused everyone in the business to walk on egg shells. We needed new blood to get past the fears and trepidation. After 30 year, we were still seeing through ancient lenses. We needed a new, clearer perspective. It’s been refreshing to say the least.
In John’s defense for his fear, it was like getting a serious spanking from the neighbors drunk Dad for playing ding-dong ditch.
The main infraction was reimbursement for a transmission and a plane ticket to see a sick family member if I recall correctly?
It’s very simple to expect a much more severe punishment for stuff perceived to be foul.
I will forever be a John Smith fan, but, it was it was time for him to go
For the simple things we talked about.
He’s still very much a presence and helpful. He just simply wouldn’t be able to navigate the situations that are today.
Looks like senior guys roll at Pan Ams today, yes? 11 am central
Lockett thrown on his head and his opponent disqualified. Hope he’s okay…
Jax dismantled a guy.
That’s all I got to see!

Jax did a short interview with SI. He's already benefiting from Coach Roper's influence (quote below). He also mentioned some training partners in his prep for Vito, and Fix isn't listed among them. Hopefully Fix's knee gets better soon.
