We will see what happens with NIL Go my opinion is it's gonna be a mess . They say deals are supposed to be approved within 2 weeks. Football now has 105 man rosters along with all other sports. Would like to know how many people were hired to work on this . Gonna be lots of deals that need approval in a short period. And once everything is delayed and a mess people will just take the $ and not report it. The NCAA has gutted the office that policed this stuff so I'm not sure how they will catch people who just take the $

Those two sentences cannot co-exist imo. If on the one hand you state that the NCAA is in its death quiver (I agree), then the game is going to change a LOT. Anyone who isn't comatose knows that the first time a Power 5 team is denied an NIL deal and loses a football player, Deloitte and the NCAA are gonna get sued by someone. The griping then increases to the point that the Power 5 schools decide the NCAA isn't able to manage the process and takes it over. It'll probably take five years, but it's a given. The NCAA has been set up to fail here. Isn't that obvious to everyone?
From the Iowa board even today. From Slumlord himself:

PSU has been paying guys since Cael showed up. It was part of the deal that Ira presented. NIL (Now it's Legal), albeit the new Now has oversight.....maybe (we'll see on that) allowed others to do the same legally. Ira wants to win and will spend any amount to do it.
So even Bob Nicolls sees oversight as a maybe.

For sure he does as will Ira and Chad. This shit show has just begun. Also nobody can get answers and July 1 is coming fast
Now that my team is #1, I want the rules to be enforced with an iron fist. No cheating you barbarians. Act civilized. 😙
I am saying it isn't going to change until the death quiver is over...then it gets interesting and probably better.
This new ruling is just going to create tons of progressive creativity. The NCAA is a shark, but it forgot it's not a great white anymore, it's more of basking shark.
I'll say it again, Chad isn't throwing money at NIL. Chad is obviously a guy you can collaborate with and generate some funds, but he's not on speed dial to pay kids to come Wrestle.
Either way, there is no way Ira, Bob or Chad are going to let somebody else tell them what to do with their money. I don't know what the level above FU money is, but they have it.
Your modesty is cute Chase. I saw the diamond tiara that your wife wore at nationals. It was nice but out of place at that venue. Fashion faux pas. 🤣
Well some are getting over 200K for SR years in high school so someone is paying 🤷. The truck also comes out of that $ but still big $.
I didn’t say guys were coming for free…some are. But Chad isn’t footing that bill!
Remember the narrative that Oklahoma st isn't paying big $ 🤣🤣 . Because over 200k to a HS senior isn't big 🤣🤣. I remember it was said not long ago. And it's not just one it's a few. And the 5 million that was thrown around for Bo wasnt true he didn't even get 1/3 of that
I remember.
What HS senior is getting 200k? And then, who are the other few?
I’m also pretty sure that 5mill number includes 2 others…and it wasn’t 5 million.
Ask around you have the connections in Stillwater. I'm not gonna put kids names out like others do
I’ll ask around and hopefully I figure out how many kids are getting 200k. You said it’s a few…so I need to figure that out I guess?
But, while I do that, let’s be honest about the entire situation of this?
So you're a Oklahoma St guy who has connections in Stillwater yet you don't know the amounts guys got from NIL deals? Then how did you know what Bo got? The narrative from you is Iowa pays tons of money but Oklahoma st isn't paying tons of money. Yet you don't even know the NIL deals for athletes in Stillwater. Chase many believe you're connected to the program and you're a mod here so people believe you when you say things. Maybe say less or get the facts before you say something
So
You put some things out here, its up to others to check it out? That is not how argument works. The narrative is Iowa pays more than PSU and OSU does. Its never been that OSU doesnt pay. Gtfo with your own narrative or the narrative you found on twitter.
Lately it seems like Iowa is twice what PSU and OSU are offering. Despite that, only Bo signed on with Iowa. I know it's probably a tired mantra, but a quality RTC saves quite a bit in NIL over the years. It's the counter argument to more money.
Haha, I don’t need to ask around. It was a tongue in cheek response to you saying that I should ask around…so I responded that I’ll ask around…nothing more and I’m not going to ask around, don’t need to. I’m not going to put it in writing on here either.
I honestly don’t know how much guys are getting at Iowa, but the narrative is what it is. I was told a number on Bo, but I don’t know the complete specifics because the numbers/situations that have been talked about are numerous from people that know! Plus, I don’t care to connect any dots. The kid is good and I hope he does great every season except when he Wrestles an OSU guy.
But chill on the scolding, it’s been pretty fun bantering with you…don’t turn into the not fun version.
I don't have twitter but ok. I don't do social media. Since everyone has talked about Bo and his #s Oklahoma st offered 1.2 million DT thought they had him. Iowa never stopped recruiting him and gave 1.5 . You are some random person everyone knows me and I have no problem putting my name behind things. But I'm not gonna be the one to first name HS kids by name and $ amounts sorry
Chase when you throw out #s for other teams that you don't even know if they're true it's just to create your narrative. Yet you won't say any Oklahoma st #s. Very interesting. But you had no problem repeating Bo got 5 million

Yep the 60k a year more that Bo got at Iowa is life changing 🛑. Iowa has zero pro sports teams and he will be a star and make that $ up in the local market easily

No one is creating any absurd narratives here man. Only that Iowa pays more than anyone else. Which might or might not be true. To be honest I don't care for any NIL numbers. It's part of the game now. I care whether we get studs to come here or not.
Some guys want good NIL, some want familiarity, and some good coaching.
Well the narratives are all over now . Because all teams deals gotta pass a clearinghouse. The Bo got 5 million crowd always cracked me up. People just repeating the rumor everyone heard and were acting like they've the facts. Our sport is full of wannabes who just repeat things as there own
Haven't used my Twitter in well over a year take a look. When was my last post? That was also my last log in .
Yes and that was done to get at my boy Bogle who's a Iowa St fan. Iowa is definitely wrestling country no place like it. Not having a pro team in any sport makes everyone be all in on a college. I have traveled all over for wrestling and no other place comes close. And it's been that way for 50 years.Glad to see you here hopefully I see you over on ON3

I laughed out loud when he produced a receipt and you went from "I don't have Twitter" to "Haven't used my Twitter".
I don't have twitter. I had one in the past most wrestling people know that . I made it for when I was doing shows with Willie. Not sure if you can actually erase a twitter or not. I have not used it in quite awhile
I will never stop finding it hilarious that you say you do not have twitter while explaining how little you use the twitter you have.
Brother, and I say that as a guy that loves this sport and you’re needed!
If I threw out a number on Bo, it’s because my friends and my coach was upset and I’m an active aggressor. I don’t think I ever did. I respect the kid, his family and how they handled that specific situation.
In this game/world we live in, you can never really say anything is 100% when it comes to many things. You know that! Chill!
I’ve also never, ever, not once ever said Bob paid Bo 5 million! Not once! I know how it went down, and I know how disappointed several people were. I also know it wasn’t 5 bangers, so it never would’ve been said.
So really, get off your heater…we aren’t doing this, you’re good, you’re welcome.
Can I delete it for good? I have no clue it was the 1st social I have ever had. Glad I could make you laugh we all need that at times
Got me. I am someone who actually does not have a twitter account.
See all your graphs figured your were a computer guy who would know that. Gotta love semantics
Tried and true strategy. When caught out with your own words claim it is semantics.
Everyone in the wrestling community knew I was on Twitter. Saying I don't have twitter meant I don't use it anymore. It was a response to someone accusing me of seeing something on Twitter which isn't true because I can't see twitter. You gotta be logged in and haven't done that ages hence the no posts . I said this on a wrestling group with wrestling people who know me. So it's not like I was hiding my Twitter was my name. And I have posted my name many times over the years using west2east. I know you think this puts egg on my face but I'm actually eating those eggs and they taste great
Selfishly I wish you'd get back on Twitter. The more wrestling talk the better and you obviously have some good info, even though you're a closet hawkeye fan😁
I had mine with biscuits and gravy. Now I am a lump. Shoulda stuck with just the eggs.
