A wrestling room is under construction, and a coach will be hired to recruit a team that will compete in the 2022-2023 season.

The Cardinals have a pair of All-Americans from their previous 18 years of competition, and wrestling will become the 25th varsity sport at the Pittsford, New York, school. St. John Fisher is a member of the Empire 8 and will be the second school, along with Elmira, to sponsor wrestling.

New England College is seeking a graduate assistant to help with the launch of our women’s wrestling team, beginning in 2022. Primary duties for the up coming season will be recruiting and all other aspects associated with preparing a first year program. See job description below for more details.

Description: The Grims Athletic Scholarship (GAS) provides full course tuition support in a selected number of popular graduate programs and a seven meal plan over two years for a graduate assistant working in the Athletic Department. To be eligible for this program, the student must meet the admission requirements for and be accepted to the graduate program and must commit to a two-year graduate assistantship. GAS students will work with the Athletic Director, or their designee, to layout the overall two-year course sequence plan (the Plan) for that graduate program.

Courses taken beyond the Plan will be charged at the current tuition price. Students who change graduate programs may lose their GAS as it pertains to the course tuition. Students who do not maintain minimum academic standards may lose their GAS. Once a student is accepted into a graduate program and receives the notification of a GAS for that program, the Plan can be developed. The meal plan is available only during traditional undergraduate residential semesters.

Please remember that we want to identify and hire aspiring coaches and the expectation is that all GA’s will spend considerable time during the week in the office assisting the coaching staff, training student-athletes, as well as out on the road recruiting.

Interim NIL policy adopted

By
AV
-

Starting July 1st, NCAA athletes in all three divisions can benefit from their name, image, and likeness. Athletes in states with NIL laws or executive orders can follow the guidelines in those states, and the rest may also participate while following the rules at their respective institutions. Athletes are required to report NIL activities to their schools.

NCAA President Mark Emmert stated, “This is an important day for college athletes since they all are now able to take advantage of name, image and likeness opportunities.” His organization has fought long and hard to deny athletes these rights and has gone all the way to the Supreme Court to attempt to preserve the right to limit even small increases to benefits granted to athletes.

New wrestling rules approved

By

Yesterday, the Playing Rules Oversight Panel announced the rule changes for the 2021-22 season. Read the whole release here and read on for a summary. Six changes were approved, and as always, the final wording of the rules in the new rulebook will give clarity on how they will be applied.

  1. The first sudden victory is increased from one minute to two minutes. After two minutes, two 30 second tiebreakers will be contested. If the match is still tied, the wrestler with the most riding time in the tiebreakers is the winner. If riding time is equal and score is tied, the next sudden victory period will be just one minute.
  2. Rules for correcting scoring and timing errors were adjusted (the Josh Heil rule). See link above for explanation.
  3. Referee video review is allowed for extra bouts (no coach challenges).
  4. Referee video review is allowed in open tournaments (no coach challenges).
  5. Weigh-ins will be two hours or less before each day of a multi-day event. Previously, the second day was a one hour weigh-in.
  6. Allowing a 1-pound weight allowance on the second day of competition for all instances of back-to-back official team competition. The event must be an official team date of competition as per the NCAA bylaws for the 1-pound weight allowance to be used. Previously, tournaments were exempt from this rule. It now appears that a dual meet the day before a tournament will result in every team at the tournament getting an extra pound.

In April, the wrestling rules committee also recommended a one-time exemption to the 1.5% weight loss descent plan for a wrestler that moves up one weight class to compete. This proposal will not go into effect.

Can wrestlers make money with NIL?

By

Summer is slow in the DIII wrestling world, so this post will focus mostly on Division I athletes. Several states have laws allowing college athletes to profit from their name, image, and likeness (NIL) going into effect July 1st. The NCAA Division I Council is meeting today and surely has NIL on its agenda. This is the makeup of the council. Seven members work at schools with wrestling, and one is the commissioner of a conference that sponsors wrestling.

NIL is coming to the NCAA either through rule changes or legislation. Most of the attention has been focused on famous players in football and basketball. Almost every article mentions either Trevor Lawrence or Zion Williamson as athletes who could have profited handsomely from this opportunity. The highest profile athletes are not the only ones who can benefit here. The money might be less, but it still spends. The table below lists the approximate number of Instagram and Twitter followers for selected NCAA wrestlers with large followings.

NameInstagramTwitter
Spencer Lee111K37.6K
Roman Bravo-Young123K22K
Nick Lee8.3K526
Austin O’Connor5.9K—
David Carr69K7.7K

Yianni Diakhomihalis100K28.4K
Jaydin Eierman19K6K
Sammy Sasso15K5.1K
Mason Parris15K4.3K

There are certainly some others that could be on this list. They may lack the following of Trevor Lawrence (979K on Instagram) or Justin Fields (883K followers), but many are greater than Jocelyn Alo (33K on Instagram), the national softball player of the year (and former wrestler) who just spent two weeks on ESPN for the Women’s College World Series. No wrestler is getting rich off of sponsored Instagram posts, but if you are an advertiser of a product that appeals to fans of Gable Steveson, there is value in getting that message out to his nearly 250,000 followers.

Calculating the value of a sponsored post is tough, and the market may change significantly once college athletes are involve, but there are calculators out there (like this one) that make estimates.

If Steveson even made a quarter of that estimate, it is $500 he did not have before. Other top wrestlers like Roman Bravo-Young ($1.2K – $1.6K for one post), Spencer Lee ($1.1K – $1.5K), Yianni Diakhomihalis ($982 – $1.4K), and David Carr ($735 – $1K) are also in a position to cash in. Consider the case of Chloe V. Mitchell, an NAIA volleyball player who gaine 2.6 million followers on TikTok after creating a series of videos of the process of renovating a shed during quarantine. She is able to cash in on her fame, since the NAIA beat the rest of the country in allowing athletes to profit from NIL.

Wrestlers who want to make money through sponsored posts will need to cultivate their social media following and make an effort to engage with fans. The most successful post regularly and have content that matches up with their personal brands. Winning helps, but it is not sufficient, as should be obvious from the chart above.

The timing may be uncertain, but college athletes gaining the ability to profit from their own NIL is on the way. The market will go through some growing pains before settling into a price and earnings structure, but current and future athletes will be able to earn money in ways they had not before.

NCAA vs. Alston roundup

By
AV

0

Yesterday, the US Supreme Court issued a highly anticipated ruling in NCAA vs. Alston. The court does not often get involved in college sports, so the case and subsequent ruling received a lot of attention in the media. At issue was educational benefits to scholarship athletes in addition to tuition, room, and board. Post graduate internships and laptops are two of the benefits that fall under this description, and both were frequently mentioned in media reporting on the case. The district court ruled that restrictions on such benefits were a violation of antitrust law. The NCAA disagreed and appealed to the Supreme Court. Arguments took place on March 31st of this year. After the case was argued, most observers assumed that the NCAA would lose badly. This came to pass yesterday when the court ruled 9-0 in favor of Alston. The decision was narrowly decided, and the NCAA tried to spin it positively (while also changing the subject), but it represents a major change to the way the NCAA and its member schools will do business in the future.

The Alston case has been in the news the same time as major discussions about name, image, and likeness (NIL) have dominated college sports due to the impending effective dates of laws allowing athletes to profit from NIL for the first time. Alston and NIL issues are not directly related, but both have the potential to reshape what athletes can earn with their athletic abilities. A major difference between the two is that Alston will allow schools to increase education-related benefits, NIL reform will require schools to allow their athletes to profit from NIL.

Alston has little to do with Division III athletes, since athletes at this level do not receive any financial benefits due to athletic participation, but major changes at the NCAA Division I level have the chance to affect things in the largest Division. As for NIL, while all the focus has been on basketball and football, there will be an opportunity for a savvy DIII athlete to make some money in the future.
