gowrestle 651 Report post Posted August 14, 2020 The NCAA president Emmett was discussing the tragedy of eliminating last year’s championships. Here was his comment: “We have to give highest priority to the winter and spring sports because they lost their championship last March,” Emmert said. “We made that horrible, awful, but necessary choice to shut down. Didn’t have Frozen Four. Didn’t have Final Four. Didn’t have World Series in softball and baseball. Track championships. Lacrosse. We lost all of that.” He made no mention of WRESTLING!

KCMO2 630 Report post Posted August 14, 2020 There were 11 other distinct winter and spring championships which he did not mention directly. You're trying to make something out of nothing. 8 gowrestle, MikePorcelli, fadzaev2 and 5 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JBluegill133 277 Report post Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) I for one expect him to mention every single individual wrestler that lost their chances to compete at NCAA's last year, their accolades, their favorite color, and a brief synopsis of their wrestling career from youth through college in order to be satisfied that he is respecting our sport!

That would be a great idea. However, I would settle for only mentioning WRESTLING. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never questioned whether it was a direct quote or not. For the record though, it sounds like you're going to get your panties in a wad unless he calls out all 20 specific sports by name. 1 gowrestle reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jp157 191 Report post Posted August 14, 2020 I would post some of the stuff by Schalles about how pig headed and detrimental this undeserved entitlement and general attitude is. But there would be no point 1 gowrestle reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lu_alum 794 Report post Posted August 14, 2020 Our championship needs a catchy name - something other than "Nationals" or "NCAAs". Frozen Four, Final Four, and World Series are definitive monikers for their respective sports. 1 gowrestle reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TobusRex 2,024 Report post Posted August 16, 2020 I hate to break it to you, but 99% of the American people couldn't give less of a **** about the sport we love so much. We aren't the "beautiful people" of sports: we're the beasts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use it when sitting between sessions at NCAA's and people are watching "March Madness" on TV...just using as a takeoff, because I'd rather see some of the "session" on at least of couple of the big screens.....I see your point of view though....it's not something I use frequently.
