    You hit the nail on the head. Without parity smaller programs or less competitive programs will cancel. Once they cancel we have less competition and less of a chance of finding diamonds in the rough or surprise AA’s and NC’s in some cases.
    I love the sport more than a specific program as any wrestling fan should.
    How to fix
 NIL is not available for transfers and incoming freshmen. Only AA’s and upper classmen. You do that and athletes can’t be lured away or recruited just by money (at least legal out in the open money).
    I’m the guy rooting for schools like Boise St, Fresno St, Oregon, Clemson to bring their programs back and have wrestlers from Edinboro competing for NC’s again. I’m the guy who wants to see new programs and maybe SEC and USC/UCLA inclusion in the future.

      First of all...this has ALWAYS been the case. Iowa used their success to be able to run massive camps, Gable would take his studs like Brands, Mcllravy, etc...of scholarship as after their 2nd year, pay them for the camps and then they would pay their own tuition.
      So Iowa, Okie State...they had huge advantages.
      Then Minnesota started doing the same when they had the J-Rob camps.
      Nothing has really changed. The LeHigh type schools have never been contenders, PSU has just replaced Iowa as the premiere program.

      @scourge wow...I didn't know that! Very informative. These coaches will always find a loophole to get an edge by cheating...and that is cheating. NCAA should just mandate an equal number of wrestling scholarships for every school and make all schools pool a percentage of their athletic profits toward those scholarships.

    • @scourge8097
      @scourge8097 Pƙed rokem

      @Drama King No, it was NOT cheating...Gable would live on the line, but NEVER cross it.
      It was 100% by the book. You can pay Wrestlers for camps...and when you're the top program, you can draw a whole lot of kids for a whole lot of money.
      Those J-Rob camps got huge.
      Another thing that happens is guys just...show up and want to Wrestle for you.
      Gable didn't even have to try and get some top guys. Tom Ryan literally just showed up at Iowa, told Gable he wanted to Wrestle there(after two years at Syracuse and being a high see after his Soph year)...and then he is in the finals losing 7-6 to Pat Smith on his way to 4. Another guy like Alger...but not Alger did the same. Gable didn't even recruit them, top recruit just went to school there.
      Now look at Penn States recruits? You have the Mirasola twins coming in despite higher ranked recruits in Barr and Ryder at the same weights.
      That PSU program is on auto-pilot right now. Cael built it perfectly and it is just growing and building on itself.
      And the NLWC being able to pay wages and have like...18 of 30 Open Finalists certainly helped.

    Top talent concentrates into very few schools, regardless of the money. In NCAA history only 12 schools have won team titles. Half of them are nowhere near the top rankings today. Ask any NCAA champ from the past 3 years if they would have gone to Wyoming or App State if not for a sponsorship deal with a Big 10 school. No chance. The best athletes go to the best programs.
    If anything, the NIL might give incentive to move away from the top programs to a place where they have more value. Even D3 can get in on the action. Imagine what a high school All-American could get to wrestle DIII at NYU or Hunter College.
    The only danger I see is if schools recruit in bunches and market a group of people as one entity. Think the Four Horsemen at Notre Dame or the Fab 5 at Michigan.

    When has Wrestling EVER had 2nd tier programs that were truly competitive in the team race?
    It was ALWAYS dominated by a program that was building a dynasty. The CLOSEST we've come to having NCAA Tournaments where it was competitive year over year Cael's final 2-3 years at Iowa State.
    Gable won 16 in 21 years. Okie State and Minnesota then went on a run in the late 90s/early aughts and then it was Iowa again, then became PSU.
    This isn't "killing Wrestling."

    It's a HUUUUGE benefit. Think of all the athletes that wrestling loses to football. When there is money to be made in wrestling, a borderline starter decides to take a chance in wrestling. Maybe Ben Kueter doesn't play football at all, and just wrestles. One of the hard things to do, economically, is to get wrestlers established. If Real Woods gets $200k from wrestling, that means he comes out debt free, with a solid financial footing. He can then pay it forward to the next generation, instead of paying interest on loans to the banks.

    As much as I like the idea of a pro wrestling league, it seems too boring. MMA is the best option. Its extremely exciting and as for someone who wrestled his whole life and grew with a dad as a coach and brothers who wrestled, we all went to BJJ. Some of us did boxing and muay thai. At the end of the day a pro wrestling seems too generic. MMA is your best bet. I love to see high-level UFC guys using their wrestling background along with other skills they acquired after their wrestling careers.

    NIL is good but needs to be heavily regulated. The reason these kids go to the highest bidder is because of the new transfer rules. I know recruits are being promised all kinds of things but at the end of the day there needs to be some kind of accountability for their decisions. I think a step in the right direction would be a return of the one-time transfer rule.

  • @not_harrymaguire
    @not_harrymaguire Pƙed rokem

    Couple thoughts here. First, I see no negative in letting athletes freely transfer. You hear about this in sports like MMA all the time. Fighters switch camps to help improve their skill set or perhaps they just needed new training partners and a fresh set of coaching eyes. That benefits the athletes to perform at their best, which should be the intent of the NCAA. I understand programs may lose guys that can help build their reputation, but that is really the job of the AD and coaching staff, not the athletes.
    Secondly, wrestling is notorious for its lack of scholarships. If an athlete goes to PSU and gets $250k/yr you could probably save the scholarship for athletes that truly need it. I don't see how this doesn't benefit everyone, more $ means better product.
    Finally, the world has shrunk. Being 35 in NJ my options to watch top wrestlers weekly to learn and integrate into my style was limited. Today, I can watch basically every major program and look up videos talking about it. This will naturally lead to more fans of programs and individuals, which creates NIL opportunities. This is good for the sport as it will continue to drive young wrestlers to improve.
    Bottom line: more $ will increase the quality of the product and help grow the sport. That's a wonderful thing, even if some smaller programs feel like they are missing out.

  • @forthelulz8085
    @forthelulz8085 Pƙed rokem

    Honestly I think there shouldn't be any restrictions on how a student athlete gets paid. IMO the smaller schools will benefit from the NIL deals in this way: the kids that come to their program truly love wrestling and there will be more money in the form of scholarships to go around. Wrestling already gets a smaller number of full rides allocated to their programs, so if you get a big name athlete in your smaller programs you will have to give them more scholarship money. Without those guys in the program you can have more partial scholarships to get a more well rounded program and coaching staffs will have a better opportunity to actually build the skills of the wrestlers because they will stick around for 4, 5 or 6 years. Yes all the high power wrestlers will be at the big schools, but is that really that much different then it ever was?

    The biggest issue ALL wrestling programs face has been (and as long as it exists) is Title IX. The new NIL rules will have some impact but not nearly as brutal as Title IX. The solution would be add a women’s program to go along with the men’s program at every college. The NIL also allows more opportunity IMO for smaller schools in the sense that local businesses can now include their local college wrestlers in their ad campaigns and promotions. While NIL does make larger schools more appealing it can also help smaller schools too. Title IX is still the real threat and adding women’s teams will end it. We need a bigger push in the wrestling community for more women’s teams.

  • @andizzyJD12
    @andizzyJD12 Pƙed rokem +1

    Great video, Franco.
    Everyone who has commented has raised excellent points.
    My primary questions are how many wrestlers actually have NIL deals? Which wrestlers specifically? Has it really made a large difference in recruiting so far? Once the NCAA gets ahold of it, it will become more restrictive. So you can make the argument that its impact has probably already peaked.
    Also, whether it be for $1, $100K or $10 million, I don’t see Real Woods finishing up anywhere but Iowa. LOL
    Regarding alumni’s paying recruits and schools leveraging who has the better NIL deal, I really don’t see that happening to guys who aren’t already bouncing back and forth between schools like Ohio State, Iowa, PSU. So I don’t think it will hurt smaller schools.
    On a side note: As someone who grew up watching wrestlers like Mark Schultz voluntarily live in poverty so they could dedicate themselves full-time to their international training, the thought of returning to an era where wrestlers are limited financially in any way makes me cringe.

      @@richvitale8405 if it’s great for the athletes how could it ever be bad for the sport the only thing bad for the sport is the closing of programs
      Big stars and star programs draw more viewers than anything which helps grow the sport and now with NIL and the portal our stars get more opportunities for exposure

    Griffith is a poor example. Shame on Fanco Wrestling. It's widely known that Griffith is transferring primarily for graduate studies, not extracurricular athletic opportunities.

      Yes, very fair. However, he is still a transfer. It should be noted I'm in full support of being allowed to transfer schools. But, these situations are happening.
