Seeing some similar stuff going on with Mastrogiovani - sounds like things in Stillwater are a mess.

I tend to believe there's a sliver of truth to this story, and I think John knew about similar stuff prior and tried to handle it in-house like J Rob which is going to be tough for John.

Any of you still think that winning a NC at any cost is really worth it? Before any or this blew up I found AJ to be a little bit entertaining, but mostly annoying. Still, I would never have wanted that on any ISU team. All the more reason to look back at Cael's dominance and how he handled it and appreciate what winning with dignity looks like.

How’d Cael handle Andrew Long? I have a ton of respect for Cael, but let’s not forget that when Iowa was nipping at his heels he brought an an extremely troubled kid to help him win a title.

All of the sexual assault stuff is new. With that new information, I’d no longer want him at ISU. But it doesn’t change my opinion that I’d have taken him in a heart beat prior to knowing this.

Let’s also remember Gable Steveson is a huge superstar who got a farewell tour from NCAA wrestling and ESPN last year. Had some pretty serious sexually related legal issues as well.
