I get that we are moving into a new era but I'd be embarrassed if my school had to buy a team every year just to get a trophy. If it wasn't for Slumlord Bob, Iowa would be scratching to get 4th place. As it is, it only makes them competitive for 2nd. After this year, I think Iowa starts fighting for 3rd.
Iowa, where wrestling dreams go to die.

If NCAA leadership weren’t so preoccupied with where their wives’ boyfriends were taking them on vacation, Iowa might be getting a little too brazen with their recruiting tactics. But alas, that isn’t the case and I don’t expect anything to happen
That’s your 1st warning!
They’re already fighting for 3rd. We don’t allow giving any benefits of the doubt to those guys.
It seemed like a governing level where individual gifts are going to be limited.
Like Wrestler A wants 100k, but only 20k max is allowed. So you’d need at least 5 more guys giving.
That was the discussion anyway. Not sure on amounts and full information is unknown.
I don't recall the specific number off the top of my head but PSU has already received private endowments of 5-6 yearly scholarships for wrestling toward the new 30 scholarship limit. I believe PSU still intends to fund the first 9.9. Long term, that's a far more cost effective way to build a team than these one year purchases.
Yes sir! They will be creative with what changes come, whatever they are.
That is a good pick up for Iowa. This guy is good. Looking forward to see where Correa goes. I really think he could be a future HWT for OK State!
I know OSU has an active alumni base. So does Ohio State and a few others. To me, the future is in endowing scholarships. It takes a lot of the recruiting ambiguity out of the equation, and promotes the add-on benefits that the university can offer, such as NIL and post-collegiate goals.
Can you imagine how powerful it would be to have 30 full scholarship to give out? Endowing eliminates that discussion, so all you have left is RTC and NIL.
Was told this week by someone who absolutely would know….slumlord Bob called Buchanan at OU out of the blue, not in any portal period, much less after a declaration, and told him he’d give him $22k just to apply/fill out paperwork (I guess for admission to Iowa). He does. Then he says I’ll give you $25k to just come for a visit. He does. Then they hit him with the $500k and he really has no choice.
