    Not to my knowledge, but it's well known that he isn't a huge fan of Stutzman.

    In related news, water is wet.

    They're at seven and nine, actually. Remember, the track and fields count twice. Also, one of those seven is football, an enormous-roster sport.

    I was thinking more like women's golf.

    Right answer, but two wrongs do make a right in this case. The minimum number of sports for an FBS school is 16, but Buffalo is right at that minimum, because indoor and outdoor track and field count separately for both men and women. That said, there’s nothing stopping them from adding a sport, and then dropping wrestling, such as a certain school in Norfolk that shall remain nameless did…

    Bloomsburg, Lock Haven, and the PennWest schools (Clarion and Edinboro) all have the option of simply dropping to D-2 if they so desire, they don't have to drop the sport entirely.

    So if Colorado State needs a wrestling coach, Troy would be their guy?

    Weren’t those Pritzlaff and Frayer’s last two years on the staff?

    Stanford is joining the ACC.

    And added men's soccer and golf, citing "alignment with their conference rivals". Then, to make sure they completely couldn't add wrestling later (presumably), added men's swimming and diving, a sport that they can likely never be competitive in, on his way out.

    Hey...that Boise State baseball team lasted a grand total of 14 games (not seasons) before being cut themselves! As far as Alberts, he cut UNO the night they won the Division II national championship (not an exaggeration).

    You used to actually lose all of your team points. That was changed in the 2011 offseason after LeBlanc had all of his team points deleted for missing weight on Day 3.

    Didn’t Kenny Jordan miss weight on Day 2 his last year at Nebraska?

    Could be worse…Lindenwood announced they had a “special announcement”…last time I heard that was May 1, 2011.

    Ken Chertow was the first head coach Queens hired when they started the program. Let's just say he left about a month into his first season under mysterious circumstances.
  16. SetonHallPirate
    No, there aren't. Just no.

    Really man? Even the Yankees need the smaller-market programs to play. Plus, that's 30 wrestlers every recruiting cycle that are now unlikely to ever become future coaches, officials, etc.
  18. SetonHallPirate
    Definitely not.

    Here's an e-mail exchange I had with the Athletic Director about the time the previous coach, Rob Tate, stepped down. Pretty sure at that point that they had no intention of ever looking at filling the position.

    My understanding was that having wrestlers being required to wrestle two matches to their natural conclusion didn't make it through Competitive Safeguards. That being said, what would stop an injured wrestler from simply falling backwards at the start of the match and letting the opponent pin him twice?
  21. SetonHallPirate
    At least the PAC-12 put the true second matches on Track this year…usually finding out the results of those matches were like waiting for the Western Union Telegram to show up at your door during World War II (or so the moderator of this board tells me).

    A working document that will be filled up over the weekend, of course. https://wrestlingbypirate.wordpress.com/2024/03/08/police-blotter-conference-championships-edition/

    Gotcha...that makes sense. Didn't think of that.
  24. SetonHallPirate
    I'm assuming you're referring to after shrinkage...because a 32-foot diameter mat with a five-foot protection area would be a 42x42 mat before shrinkage.
  25. SetonHallPirate
    If we had a standard mat size, it would likely be the 32-foot diameter (42x42 mat) used at Nationals and most big tournaments. I've actually wondered, out loud (on the former BirdApp) whether it might be a good idea to go down to a 28-foot diameter, but a minimum seven-foot protection area, in the next rules cycle (although this would have to probably be phased in over several years).
