So you are all into the rumors yet ignore the rumor that multiple colleges are reporting this to the NCAA? Who knows if anything will come of it but multiple colleges are already trying to report and fix it. Calm down. Until it’s proven the NIL has been huge in supporting the athletes and growing the sport.

Any rumors in Kansas about Kansas or Kansas State getting their crap together and starting a wrestling program? Word on the street is the youth programs in the state are strong, it’d be nice to have a local B12 program to go to.

You don't agree that making comments on current wrestling issues on a wrestling forum should involve some current state of wrestling knowledge? Okay. I see where you are coming from.
I will give you an overview of the latest. NIL has become a pay for play tool for universities with deep pocketed boosters. It is rumored that wrestlers, not in the portal, are being contacted and offered large sums of money to finish their careers at different schools. Not the intent of NIL. It is off the tracks and must be adjusted immediately or wrestling may destroy itself.

Chill bro, or, you could just share all the rumors you and like 5 other people know. Don't act like wrestling is going to be any more unique and different then any other sport. NIL is going to have an impact on every sport and its questionable how much good or bad will come from it.
But your the only one who can have an opinion on it so its all yours.

I think so far NIL has been great for the sport of wrestling. One example is it took a wrestler the entire wrestling community knew (gable Stevenson) and gave him even more exposure where a larger audience outside of the wrestling community was watching him in his final tour with the gophers. All those new eyeballs had to bring in more fans and hopefully new youth wrestlers. Without NIL no way that would have had that large of impact.

You have to admit that it did not directly impact wrestling the way it is today. If half of what is rumored is true wrestling is in for hard times ahead.

Julian Tagg (Gabes brother) is in the transfer portal. Looking at recruits so far, they seem to be aggressively pursuing 125 pounders. He could show up in Brookings. It's hard to know how good he is now, but he was a very special wrestler in high school.
In other news, Kael Lauridsen, big board 125 pound prospect from Nebraska, just announced SDSU as one of his top four schools. I think recruiting might be changed forever with NIL so it will be interesting to see if the staff can pull him in.
