Matthew McConaughey explains the difference between a nice guy and a good man
"A nice guy gets along. Yeah, I'll do that, sure. They don't necessarily have discernment or judgment, not sure what they stand for or against."
"A good man has ideals he stands for and stands against. When they're tested, a good man is not a nice guy."
"It doesn't mean you've got to be a dick. It means sometimes you go, this is for me and that is not. And if you trespass on me and my family, I will do my best to cause consequences."
@5StarTexan That’s one thing I haven’t heard through all of this. Always possibly I guess but why? The system had to know this was the plan when it all started a couple years ago
@Seth_Duckworth@TarletonPrez@TarletonState He won’t share it because he doesn’t want anyone to know that the initial goal has been met from what I’ve heard and funding for the next 2-3 years has already been committed if it becomes a D1 program
@wrestlingbypir8 I wish I knew. They had been accepted into the PAC-12 for wrestling too. So not sure especially since they had a donor who was going to help support multiple years of the program.
But I know from multiple people the school kept stringing them along and promising it would happen
2x Super 32 Champ, Christian Castillo, who redshirted this year at Iowa State and has 4 full years of eligibility remaining, has committed to Arizona State.
@Bloodround@Claunchinator I’m more frustrated with the weight percentage change. These aren’t full grown developed adults. A lot of these girls are naturally under 19% body fat. So what happens when they are?
So let me get this straight.
@DrMicahParker and @calbaptist claim they “take seriously the responsibility of supporting our student-athletes” and are “committed to walking beside those impacted.”
Yet they revoke access to the wrestling room, knowing these athletes have the U.S. Open next month, their last real chance to prove themselves to other programs while navigating the transfer portal.
That’s not support. That’s sabotage.
Did that same “considerable thought and prayer” go into pulling the rug out from under them?
@DrMicahParker and @calbaptist wasted no time giving @CBUwrestling the boot.
Is this how you treat all your student-athletes?
Do the donors who support this athletic department know this is how their athletes are treated?
