  • Incredible Show

    This show is very special. They do a great job covering all the conferences and do not just talk about Penn State all the time they get Penn State, Oklahoma State and Iowa their fair do don’t get me wrong but they talk about the Ivy‘s the IEWA and the SoCons. As a rabid college fan, they cover it all. Hat tip, fellas. Keep it up. We appreciate you!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trent Hidlay interview, Greg Kerkvliet to LVWC, SIUE changes coming, Worlds breakdown | Ep. 19
Q: What underpinned the NC State culture and the RTC environment that helped you progress to this level?
Trent described NC State's culture as a history-making, high-standards environment driven by leadership and brotherhood, with strong support systems and the belief that one can achieve world-class success from a non-traditional program.
Trent Hidlay interview, Greg Kerkvliet to LVWC, SIUE changes coming, Worlds breakdown | Ep. 19
Q: Where do you wear the World Championship belt, and what's the weirdest place you've thought about showing it off?
Trent joked about the belt's value and joked that he might not wear it everywhere, but it's a symbol of the journey, so he'd likely wear it at select events and celebrations rather than casual daily use.
Mike Moyer Interview, RAF 02, College wrestle-offs | Ep. 23
Q: What is the OPC and why is it important to have one?
The OPC is an educationally based protocol within NWCA that uses weight, hydration, and body composition data to determine safe competition weights and weight loss plans, helping prevent dangerous weight-cutting practices and supporting wrestler well-being.
James Green heads back to VT, Who's left in the transfer portal, Scotti Sentes interview | Ep. 57
Q: What can chapters or regional networks do right now to help more athletes find employment or meaningful opportunities?
Chapters should focus on local employer partnerships, active member engagement, and events that showcase wrestlers' transferable skills; the Lancaster and Philly networks were highlighted as strong examples with deliberate career-focused activities.
James Green heads back to VT, Who's left in the transfer portal, Scotti Sentes interview | Ep. 57
Q: How do you view the role of WIBN in helping wrestlers before and after college, particularly with the tech and AI tools you mentioned?
WIBN aims to be a springboard, using technology to connect athletes with employers, internships, and mentors; the goal is to make it easier for wrestlers to translate their discipline into career success, with AI helping to match skills with opportunities.
