I feel like in this case an explanation absolutely would suffice. That’s all people are curious about.

Not sure I'd call 49 a "need weight" for Iowa. 97, hwt, 57, yes. But I thought Rathjen looked promising for the future. Aaaaaand then they go and piss on him. Classic Hawkeyes
No, no. #dominohasfallen 2 weeks ago is all the explanation you need.
Rathjen did well, but seems like one of those guys Iowa has that hovers around 10-15 for their entire career. See Assad, Murin (until year 5,) Teske, etc.
Best case scenario Rathjen sneaks into the 7-8 match. Parco is a potential finalist with wins over guys like Lovett and Swiderski last year and people like Gomez and Paniro in his career.
Iowa 100% did the right thing. They’re trying to compete for titles. Parco helps, Rathje is a good backup.
Maybe the G&C Collective should start an insider forum and/or newsletter or something that you donate additionally too and then you can get some of this info. Feel like other programs did/used to do that. Feel like wrestling is the only sport that does the constant "I know something, but can't share it" thing..
Maybe this is a way to get more people the inside info they want and also get the G&C Collective more money? Just a thought..

Might be compliance issues. Technically Iowa State can’t talk about unsigned athletes
ISU employees can't but couldn't people that don't work for the University?
No idea on the limits & if the staff would unofficially agree to it
Does staff control the NIL and collective? Kind of thought they couldn’t really be the ones pulling the NIL strings.
This never made sense to me. Did the NCAA really think that the collective is going to go recruit their own wants and needs with out talking to coaches? Or vice versa?
I suppose that's one way to fund the collective.
