Cody Griswold will take over the men’s wrestling team at Elmira College this season. He had previously been the women’s coach at the New York school. Both teams were planning to compete for the first time last season before the COVID-19 pandemic caused the cancellation of winter sports at Elmira.

He had previously coached for five seasons at Williamstown High School in Vermont and one season at his alma mater of Norwich University.

ELMIRA, N.Y. — Interim Director of Athletics Rhonda Faunce announced today that Elmira College’s head women’s wrestling coach, Cody Griswold, has assumed head coaching duties for the men’s wrestling program heading into the 2021-22 season.

Since being announced as the first-ever head women’s wrestling coach in March of 2020, Griswold has been busy building the foundation for the first four-year institution to offer women’s wrestling in the state of New York. The Class of 2025 is a large one, featuring nearly a dozen grapplers from all corners of the country.

Blake Heim Tapped to Guide Wrestling Program

Blake Heim has been named the second head coach in Pitt-Bradford wrestling history, the school announced yesterday. Colin Johnson, who led the team from its inception in 2018, left in December to take over the Fairmont State program, and Pitt-Bradford has selected Heim to take over. Heim joined the Panthers for the 2019-2020 season and has led the team on an interim basis since December. Pitt-Bradford has had two seasons of competition in 2018-19 and 2019-20 but did not compete during the 2020-21 season. Prior to his time at Pitt-Bradford, Heim coached at Commodore Perry Junior High and wrestled for Thiel College, graduating in 2016.

What will NIL reform mean for DIII athletes?

NIL Incoming: Comparing State Laws and Proposed Legislation
https://opendorse.com/blog/comparing-state-nil-laws-proposed-legislation/

41 states are somewhere in the process of passing laws regarding the ability of college athletes to profit off of their Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL). Several of these laws are set to go into effect on July 1st of this year (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, New Mexico), and several others could pass and go into effect by then. The other states either have a later effective date or their bill has not yet been voted and signed into law. Of the nine states with nothing in the pipeline, only Indiana and Maine have DIII wrestling.

These states have essentially called the NCAA’s bluff and dared the association to penalize schools and athletes that follow the new laws. Sala de culturismo de judo en Artix, sala de deportes vigra 50 mg tab venta espana tristan – gap, hautes-alpes: estudiante de staps da lecciones de deportes (culturismo y carrera). The NCAA has indicated a desire to change its bylaws, possibly as soon as this summer, to allow for athletes to profit from NIL. This is not the first time the NCAA has wanted to address the issue, but voting on a prior proposal was postponed at the most recent NCAA Convention. With the legislation going into effect shortly, the NCAA has decided (or at least said) that it is ready to make some changes.

Much has been written on this issue, including today’s Extra Points newsletter from Matt Brown in which he spoke to several schools in Ohio, including DIII schools. ESPN has a good timeline of what has happened so far. Opendorse, a company hoping to help athletes cash in on these new opportunities has a roundup of the laws and proposals in all 41 states.

What does this mean for Division III athletes and wrestlers specifically? Most DIII athletes are not in a position to become a major endorser for a national brand. More likely activities include social media sponsored posts, athletes selling t-shirts or other merchandise with their name or picture on it, local business sponsorship, and other local opportunities. Athletes will need to cultivate these relationships and make themselves marketable and desirable to potential sponsorship partners. This might also turn out to be more work than it is worth. Division III schools are unlikely to partner with outside organizations (the way Ohio State has with Opendorse) to help their athletes make the most of these opportunities. Instead, it may just be a way for athletes to promote themselves via camps and clinics to make some extra money in the offseason.

DIII bylaw 12.5.1.4 lays out all the restrictions on when an athlete’s name or picture can appear in a commercial advertisement. Most of these should go away so businesses can directly compensate athletes for the use of their images. If the local pizza place wants a life-sized heavyweight wall decal, the heavyweight can be paid for it.

It could be an exciting time for some DIII athletes, or it could be a situation where little changes at this level while the effects are all at the DI, primarily Power 5, level. Even if a wrestler makes a few hundred dollars for the use of his NIL, that is a few hundred dollars he would not have had the opportunity to earn before.

Things to watch in the future:
1. When will states put their laws into effect?
2. What will the NCAA come up with, and how will that mesh with state-by-state rules?
3. Will federal legislation eventually trump all of this and put the whole country under the same rules?
4. Which current DIII wrestler has the most Instagram followers and might be best positioned to capitalize?

Look at this rule. The whole book looks like this.

12.5.1.4 Commercial Advertisement. It is permissible for a student-athlete’s name or picture, or the group picture of an institution’s athletics squad, to appear in an advertisement of a particular business, commercial product or service, provided:

(a) The primary purpose of the advertisement is to publicize the sponsor’s congratulations to the student-athlete or team;

(b) The advertisement does not include a reproduction of the product with which the business is associated or any other item or description identifying the business or service other than its name or trademark;

(c) There is no indication in the makeup or wording of the advertisement that the squad members, individually or collectively, or the institution endorses the product or service of the advertiser;

(d) The student-athlete has not signed a consent or release granting permission to use the student-athlete’s name or picture in a manner inconsistent with the requirements of this section;

(e) If the student-athlete has received a prize from a commercial sponsor in conjunction with participation in a member institution’s promotional activities and the advertisement involves the announcement of receipt of the prize, the receipt of the prize is consistent with the provisions of Bylaw12.5.1.1.4 and official interpretations approved by the Management Council;

(f) The individual does not accept any remuneration for or permit the use of their name or picture to advertise, recommend or promote directly the sale and use of a commercial product or service of any kind; and (Adopted: 1/14/02, Revised: 9/1/20)

(g) The individual does not receive any remuneration for endorsing a commercial product or service through the individual’s use of such product or service. (Revised: 1/14/02)

After seven years at UW-Platteville, head coach Mike DeRoehn has stepped down to begin a career outside of college coaching. The school has been engaged in a search for a new head coach since late April. The following post is on the UW-Platteville Wrestling Instagram and was written by current assistant Dan Olsen.

Hey Pioneer Nation, it is with a heavy heart we say goodbye to Head Coach Mike DeRoehn, and wish him well as he pursues a life outside of college coaching.

Pioneer Wrestling has benefited significantly from his 7 years of committed time, effort, and passion!

Coach DeRoehn has created a culture of excellence that extends beyond the mat and has impacted each graduate for the rest of their lives.

The effect of this culture has seen the exportation of well-rounded men out into the world, who have continued to express this excellence in themselves, through their careers, families, and communities.

Every graduate from this program has left with a career in hand, and numerous applicable life lessons.

We cannot thank Mike DeRoehn enough for all he has done for this program and can’t wait to see how he positively impacts his next community!
