Well, I am going to have to give my wrestling experience. My senior year of high school someone had the bright idea that the cheerleaders needed to sit near the edge of the mat and cheer for our boys if the match was at home during school. Not sure what was more shocking...their attire or watching them writhing around on the floor together. Probably both with it up close and personal lol. I made sure we didn't have to experience that again.

Would have been a much better idea to have the cheerleaders wrestle in unitards. Place would have been packed!
 
I thought Dan Patrick jokingly made the whole McDonald’s bag thing up on his show
I have said all along, our troubles have nothing to do with paying players. It is recruiting related. It may involve money to recruits and families during recruiting process, but I do not think we are self investigating paying current players. There is a reason we cleaned house on recruiting office first, then HC

Only really like stuff like Hit Em Up and the shite talking songs, especially off Machiavelli. Dear Momma and all that other boring stuff isnt my style but I can respect the lyricism especially early stuff like the song about the teenage mother (Becky's Got a Baby?)

How Do ya Want It, still one of my favorite tracks. He did a few tracks with Bone Thugs you'd probably like, not sure if on their album or his though. Would have to look it up.

I mostly have shifted to Tyler Childers, Jason Isbell, ZBB, Chris Stapleton and that genre these days.

I agree totally, its all about money. The TV money alone is insane and the amount of money that is paid a coach at a P5 school is unbelievable considering the guaranteed money they receive if they fail. The money generated through sports pays for these contracts but for a state school anywhere in the country and the dire straights that many of them are in it's not a good look in the eyes of non sports fans.

For someone that doesn't have clean water, food, housing or something that has also become somewhat essential ,the internet it's hard to explain why a coach at a state school makes what they do. The fact that some players and their family are receiving cash on the side beyond a scholarship to play a sport is beyond comprehension for many of those same people.

I have always been a sports fan but like most good things they tend to eat themselves from the inside out. One day in the not so distant future college sports is going to change for many reasons and I don't think it will be for the better and I don't think we will like what it becomes.
It may be an issue to some but the majority of sports fans want us to get the best coach/players by any means necessary..... That booster money you referred to earlier also increases by a lot when the sports programs(football and to a lesser degree basketball) is successful.
 
My only wrestling experience was a couple of weeks in the 9th grade. I was on the swim team, and we ended up temporarily without a coach. The wrestling coach agreed to let us work out with the wrestling team until they could find us a new swim coach. Those workouts were brutal, and I was so happy to be able to get my sorry butt back in the water for my exercise.

I believe Gray and Key took money while being recruited which would rule them ineligible at UT. That’s why they transferred so quickly.

If true seems kind of BS that they can then go to another school with no sort of issue. They are as at fault as the folks handing them the money.
 
Wrestling was barely a thing at my high school in East Tennessee, but when I started working at OU and got to watch OU vs OSU wrestling and they would do spotlight matches. Gamechanger. It's fascinating, really started my interest in combat sports. Now I love UFC. I just never realized how much technical skill there was until I saw it done at a high level.
I respect wrestlers, but the activity is sus
