The NCAA is on deaths door. I think any thought of a future sanction is laughable.
2024 Transfer Portal Tracker (Wrestling)
- Thread starter stuclone
- Start date
I agree with most of this, but I’m kind of indifferent on the redshirt decisions.
Maybe those guys aren’t wrestling for Iowa in 4 years anyways but maybe they win 3 or 4 titles now?
Your point still does stand though, they conceded a trophy.
Did the same donor convince them to take the Ferrari family?
NCAA Champion Andrew Alirez Enters The Transfer Portal - FloWrestling
2023 NCAA Champion Andrew Alirez has entered the transfer portal with one year of eligibility remaining.
Has Parco committed anywhere? I'd assume Michigan pays more to get Alirez and Iowa gets Parco, right? Spitballing
It is not tampering if the wrestler or wrestling family calls the coach and asks questions. What questions the coach can answer, I am not sure. Can the NIL/Donor go into more details with the wrestler/family, not sure, but probably think so.
The Coach can not contact the wrestler before he is in the portal.
I actually think that nobody is going to monitor it. Wrestling will be the least of NCAA's worries. Men's BB and Football are far bigger issues.

Not yet on Parco and for the money Alirez might still be a 141 if needed. Both might be 149 though like you mentioned
Obviously you’d take the guy no questions but for $500k I’d rather invest elsewhere. I like Frost boys at 141/ Swiderski, Paniro, Ech at 149. I don’t see any reason we can’t get 30 points total between those 2 weights.
No question you smoke em while you got em, especially today with this stuff going on. Iowa should’ve wrestled Arnold and he might have been in the finals with Star.
Plus what do you do to the culture of the team? To think you are going to get the same team and fan support by a bunch of 1 and done guys vs guys that have been at Iowa State for 3 plus years is crazy.
Look at Colorado football and Sanders saying culture is a waste, they have guys coming and going in that program left and right.
This type of program is telling everyone watch out for yourself and no one else.
Agreed - we got Feldkamp, who by the way is a great young man and was always great to talk to, but for the most part the coaches are developing and have a great team culture.
I love the idea of being in the trophy hunt every year with primarily well developed kids who come up in this program. Sprinkle 1 in here or there doesn’t hurt.
Pat keeps things interesting with the rumors and jumping the gun to always post about stuff.. but does he really know this? I can’t see how he would know those details.
This portal really sucks for Northern Colorado and all small schools. After he won the title, it was refreshing to hear his post-match interview where he was proud of wrestling for UNC. Nickerson was pumped and happy like he himself won the title.NCAA Champion Andrew Alirez Enters The Transfer Portal - FloWrestling

I don’t know either but it makes fun lunch time reading - I do think he knows Troy though
I could be misremembering but I am pretty sure he was very loud on the Baylor fernandes situation. If so no way Troy is telling him anything. Agreed it makes wrestling more interesting and fun to hear the juice and gossip
Lots of people know what’s going on. Word travels fast in a pretty small circle in the wrestling world
Fernandes should of been kicked off the team over a year ago. Dirty!!!
Alirez going anywhere but Iowa will be funny.
