roster projections, at least until fall semester starts. If CKB and the MBB team has taught us anything ... money talks. Their are no loyalties anymore if someone is paying enough. PSU, the oranges, Michigan, and many others have higher budgets than us for NIL. If they want someone on our team, and that person is listening, then they are gone. It is unfortunate and inevitably it will be the down fall of college sports, but I can't blame them for chasing the money, especially in wrestling. They can make more in their 4-5 years in college than they can make in the years after wrestling if they choose to stay in the sport. Hopefully they have good role models to help them make the best decisions for their futures, including considerations for what college degrees and their future careers look like. To be clear I have no first or second hand knowledge on any of our guys. I just think it is inevitable. It personally seems that Caleb Henson is happy here... but what if the Oranges reached out and offered him $500K/ year? Their have been some strong rumors stating that those types of numbers have been thrown out for other wrestlers in the past, not of his caliber. And there are teams that have that kind of money. That would be a hard thing to pass up... imagine what you could do with a cool million over two years... Heck even half of that would be amazing. To be clear I am not trying to be a downer or NATT... quite the opposite, I am a RATT. I just wanted to note it so hopefully we as passionate Hokie fans don't disrespect any wrestlers or their families if they do decide for other opportunities. I will of course be crushed, but unfortunately that is the world we live in now. If you want to help give the tools to our coaches to keep our wrestlers here please donate to SERTC.
