@TheLowSingle If Penn St, Iowa, & Nebraska all skip it, does it have the same level? Still a solid weekend of wrestling, but feels more a weekend tourney than championship.
@OrwellsBurner@Ostate_Daily You clearly didn’t read the article where the actual numbers proved we are not top 25.
I would also recommend looking at our basketball spending which was below every p5 team that made the tourney.
in today's Extra Points, we obtained the FY25 operating budget for (nearly) every public school college baseball program
here's who spent a lot of money and still sucked, how much you need to compete for an at-large bid, who spent what and more:

@OrwellsBurner@Ostate_Daily We out preform our budget; that’s true. Top25 teams with budget near bottom of p4.
OBrate was built to host supers, but isn’t. That’s also true.
As far as $, We don’t have $ to fund max scholarship limit (now up to 34) we fly commercial not charter, etc. it’s not just nil
Immediately after USA Hockey won gold, they used the platform to honor Johnny Gaudreau. A beautiful tribute to a fallen brother.
His kind spirit is always with them.
They carry him every day.

@greyghostpoke You realize you’re wanting to create a shopping list for all our athletes that every other school could and would use to out-negotiate us. Not to mention create internal issues over which player is more valued.
@OKSTProbs You mean Gundy’s salary?
Jokes aside, we are competitive in revenue share thanks to budget cuts of Weiberg across every dept. And it’s slightly misleading to post the total of a 2 year deal, not the yearly amount.
@_OrangeVZN_ That’s literally what we said after last season. Getting kids isn’t the trick, it’s finding diamonds. We will see if this staff is better at that, they have my hopes.
@dynasty_defined Forget the numbers… The key takeaway for any potential recruits, donors, whoever, OSU is committed to winning on the mat and going to make sure DT has the resources to compete. Giving Tuesday is the perfect time to consider a Wrestling donation.
@Carson_OKC Why fire Gundy if you settle for another coach that gets you at most 7 wins and losses to the best teams on his schedule? Golesh has the looks of a disaster hire. USF not renewing his contract is telling.
We want to take a moment to celebrate our very own Chelsi Davis. Two months ago, she was notified that she was a bone marrow match for a patient in the United States fighting Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Chelsi has been on the NMDP (formerly Be The Match) registry since 2017, when she signed up in memory of her grandmother, who passed away from leukemia in her 40s. Her grandmother wasn’t able to find a matching donor, so when Chelsi learned she could help someone else, she didn’t hesitate for a second.
Last week, she flew to Houston, where she donated stem cells from her blood over the course of two straight days. Those stem cells were immediately shipped to the patient’s hospital, where they’re now providing life-giving support in that patient’s fight against cancer.
Chelsi didn’t do any of this for praise or attention. In fact, the only reason she’s allowing us to share her story is the hope that it might encourage someone else to join the registry.
If you’re between the ages of 18–35 and want to sign up, you could be like Chelsi and help save someone’s life. Just follow the link below:

Chelsi, you are truly a hero.
Kenny Dillingham gave a two-minute pitch to local businesses to support ASU football:
"Every restaurant, if you don't have a food item named after an Arizona State Sun Devil, why? I don't get it. $500 a month? $1,000 a month?...Our success leads to more success in local business. We're a revenue generator for the city...It's not just restaurants. It's car companies. It's literally everything can get involved."

File under best things you’ll see today:
Texas Tech’s team barber’s wife was severely injured in a car accident. BYU fans have stepped up and helped raise more than $60,000 for them to help cover bills.
@LeBatardShow@Kurkjian_ESPN Tim looks like he stayed up all night watching a Cambodian under 12 year old league game to see if the tape matched the metrics on a pitcher.
