WIWrestling Main Forum / Re: WIAA To Vote On NIL Deals ...

It's the dang apocalypse.

High school kids getting NIL money. I pray there's some semblance of order to it all.

Most states have had it before the NCAA brought it in.
It typically only end up to the top Nike athletes in basketball and football.
Tennis and Golf seem to benefit as well, but in wrestling it more uncommon outside of Basset.

I now remember someone telling me about this...

NIL, though a great idea in theory, has wreaked havoc on college athletics. At least in Wisconsin (for HS kids), if they kept things the same as the status quo, a student couldn't transfer after his freshman year without losing a year of eligibility. Right? I seem to remember that once you set foot in a school during your sophomore year, you would have to physically move districts to be eligible to compete.

Correct.  Transfer rules still apply. 

I don't know how things go in Wisconsin but in MN the transfer rule means very little.  It is easily gotten around and the MSHSL has no interest in investigating anything.

I say let's be patient.   Let's wait and see how this works at the college level. I've heard there have been efforts to lure athletes to enter the portal with huge amounts of money.  Let's keep school loyalty and pride up to the kids without using money to buy them.

What is your favorite and your most commonly used nickname for Coach Bono?

Would you be willing to wrestle Jon Reader in a folkstyle or freestyle match?

Any idea if any Wisconsin college or university might transition to a D1 mens or womens wrestling team in the next 3-4 years?
