Brand J Posted March 23 Posted March 23 The fact the Bills didn’t deem him worthy of their practice squad or further development after signing him to a 3 year deal was wild. Quote

Not even close to joking. Gable Stevenson is a bonafide top 10 wrestler of all time. He just won a gold medal. He was at his peak. He got beat by a lesser man. This and Dan Gables loss Larry Owing...HUGE. Expand "Lesser man"? I hope that was just a poor choice of words. "Underdog" or even "relative unknown" is more accurate. Hendrickson's is a great story (and is a solid human being) in his own right. 3 1 Quote

If you sign a pro contract, you lose your eligibility in that sport, but can compete in other sports. Now with NIL, the entire line between pro and college athletics at the highest level is VERY blurry. In addition it may get even blurrier because of this lawsuit - There is a new case filed against the NCAA on behalf of several college hockey programs and players in the Canadian Hockey League (three Major Junior leagues the NCAA considers professional). If the NCAA loses this lawsuit, collegiate sports at the Division I level will be fully professional with almost no restrictions. Quote

thenorthremembers Posted March 23 Posted March 23 He got to go back to school because he had both a COVID year and an Olympic Red Shirt year. That said, he was also in the WWE on top of being with the Bills. I'd say thats a bad look but the guy has accomplished more in 24 years than I will in my entire life. The way college athletics is setup these days is not uncommon to see 24 years olds compete. Hendrickson, the wrestler from Ok State who just beat him is 24 as well. Quote
