I have never understood how this extensions don't have standards tied to them, especial those that have subpar results

Did you join the transparency call on the RTC today?

I did.

Wisconsin lead the nation for the learfield cup which gives points for how well all programs do and Wisconsin is in 3rd place going into the spring ahead of Ohio State.

As an athletic department that doesn't look to bad does it. One of the top overall athletic departments, heck top 5.

After hearing Bono talk even though he is very highly paid, the program for the moat part probably places higher in the NCAA then what is spent on the program compared to other D1 program. There are D2 programs that invest more into their wrestling than Wisconsin does!

Is there a way to listen/watch it?

howavi · April 16, 2025, 10:02:21 PM

No, I'd be happy to download to you what was said if you'd like.

He covered ncaa landscape, NIL, women's RTC, last years performance, state clubs, AWA athletes (two incoming recruits plus a couple on the team), Seth Geoss, Visibility around the state, next years lineup, etc.

howavi, I would be interested in listening to it as well if that is a possibility.

Thank you

I do not have the file/video to upload anywhere.

We did not record it. We are not one and done.

If you want in on the RTC communication send me your email. I'll try to post here as well.

I missed it, but am glad it happened. A YouTube page or link would be nice for people to rewatch who have conflicts. Can any elaborate about what was discussed regarding the women's rtc please?

howavi · April 21, 2025, 10:22:45 AM

Women's RTC discussed was the history starting and exit.

I am paraphrasing from my recollection of the conversation:
Started with Ronna, been with them since South Dakota days. Then Erin was added and Beck. Had some great success but started to impact the UW wrestling team. Despite the women competing 3KG apart (Ronna and Erin), they started to not get a long and specifically wanting to wrestle with Barnett and Burwick, which during the season was too great of a distraction.
