Once that happened it was all over, for the NCAA and collegiate sports. Now there are different rules across the states. The NCAA wants to prohibit the use of NIL for recruiting and they tried enforcing it and immediately got sued by the state government. Unless all the state\federal governments agree to turn things back over to the NCAA or some other governing body (which will never happen), collegiate sports will never be the same.        Discussion Topic: Transfer Portal Hank Kornblut added to this discussion on March 28, 2024 Problem with the MSU guys--Saldate and Fish are both in the portal--is that they arrive having spent 4 years training a certain way. Unless you think you can make some tweaks in their game that will get them to the next level, you pretty much know what you're going to get. That said--either guy would likely help the Buckeyes. Team really needs a solution at 165 for next season. Saldate impressed me a lot as a frosh but he seems to have plateaued. Looks like he feels the same and wants to try and have one big season. He probably wants a little cash as well.        Discussion Topic: Transfer Portal Jim Kessen added to this discussion on March 28, 2024 Rumors Hendrickson might transfer out of AF to use his last year of eligibility. Missouri is the place if he does.        Discussion Topic: Transfer Portal Mike Stann added to this discussion on March 29, 2024 Quote from Jim Kessen's post: "Rumors Hendrickson might transfer out of AF to use his last year of eligibility. Missouri is the place if he does." How does one transfer out of the Air Force Academy? don't you have to make a commitment to serve?        Discussion Topic: Transfer Portal Ben Golden added to this discussion on March 29, 2024 Yeah... it used to be that you could transfer from a service academy before the end of your second year there without repercussion. However, once you began your third year, a service commitment became firm, and if you wanted to renege on that commitment after that point, you would have to repay the whole of your schooling costs, which was valued at something like $500k. So if you were a football player and had the opportunity to go to the NFL, you might seriously consider paying that buy-out. I suspect it is still that way, but am not sure. Now, if Hendrickson is just considering doing a 5th year at another school to use up his eligibility, maybe the USAFA allows him to defer his service commitment until that is done? He could pick up his masters degree, which is something the military values as well.        Discussion Topic: Transfer Portal Casey Talbott added to this discussion on March 29, 2024 Saldate to UM...        Discussion Topic: Transfer Portal Mark Niemann added to this discussion on March 30, 2024 Quote from Ben Golden's post: "Yeah... it used to be that you could transfer from a service academy before the end of your second year there without repercussion.

I have not seen anything stating that is what he’s doing, but your paragraph is exactly what would need to happen. Personally, I’d be shocked if the AFA allows it, but I hope like heck Olin wrong on this. Seriously though, he could hit up Northern Colorado and be just fine. Stays in state, is off campus for 7-9 months, earns his Masters, wrestles, and then returns - all while never leaving the state.        Discussion Topic: Transfer Portal Jeff Streu added to this discussion on March 30, 2024 Quote from Hank Kornblut's post: " Quote from Brady Hiatt's post: "One year rentals. Yuck. How I hate what the NIL has brought about." Agree x ten thousand. But it's the new normal." I agree too. When I see people speculating about guys leaving mid-major programs after reaching All-American status it crushes me. I won't go so far as saying I'm not a fan of college wrestling anymore - because I'll obviously still be a fan - but it definitely ruins some of the fun of it. It's fun seeing upsets, parity, and smaller programs having success.        Discussion Topic: Transfer Portal Hank Kornblut added to this discussion on March 30, 2024 Quote from Jeff Streu's post: " Quote from Hank Kornblut's post: " Quote from Brady Hiatt's post: "One year rentals.

And the one thing they have in common is a positive coaching change. This growth could be stunted by the transfer portal and NIL.        Discussion Topic: Transfer Portal Jim Kessen added to this discussion on April 2, 2024 157 Tommy Akey from App State is in the portal.        Discussion Topic: Transfer Portal Hank Kornblut added to this discussion on April 3, 2024 Jacob Cardenas, 197, Cornell.        Discussion Topic: Transfer Portal Ben Golden added to this discussion on April 3, 2024 Is there a place where simple folks like you and I can look at who is in the actual portal, or are we reliant on word of mouth?        Discussion Topic: Transfer Portal Jim Kessen added to this discussion on April 3, 2024 Rutgers 285. who transferred in last year from Harvard is now transferring to Michigan.        Discussion Topic: Transfer Portal Drew Taylor added to this discussion on April 3, 2024 Cardenas at 197 makes sense for Ohio State. He’s a title contender. But what is he looking for? He’s the only available portal entry worth pursuing. Michigan is embarrassing itself chasing low All-Americans and bloodround types. These guys provide minimal scoring at the NCAA tournament. Hopefully HS recruits are paying attention.        Discussion Topic: Transfer Portal Jack Muni added to this discussion on April 3, 2024 Quote from Ben Golden's post: "Is there a place where simple folks like you and I can look at who is in the actual portal, or are we reliant on word of mouth?" https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/12371594-2024-NCAA-d1-wrestling-off-season-transfer-tracker        ► Add to the Discussion Page Previous  1, 2, 3, 4, 5  Next
