Yes. What a travesty it will be if young people everywhere do year long missions to keep a year of eligibility. No good could result from it.
“Religious Mission”
- Thread starter maxpain
- Start date
One man's profession of faith is another man's self-righteousness. This is not an exclusively PSU thing either. Every team in every sport has athletes who wear it on their sleeve. Or t-shirt.
Using religion as an excuse to get more eligibility in a collegiate sport= Scummy
All of this speculation is crazy. Let's concentrate on Iowa's mission....a top 7 finish in March.

Once AGAIN, we have a failure to communicate!! Am I questioning their faith? OR am I questioning their NEWLY formed faith in the COCKROACH krailure!?!?!?!?
ahhhhhhh exactly , and you?????? I pointed out the BULL and ANYONE who follows IOWA wrestling could tell you in a millisecond that the kid was religious!!!! You can point out plenty, BO BASSETTE comes to mind for example.
You being a F*** st luver because they cheated and won( you were never one before!!!!!) You can obviously/ certainly point us to ALL these "great men of faith" ( the lying POS krailures words) that you have seen!!!
come on man!!!!
YES!!!! TY the SCUMBAG lying POS should be removed from coaching!!!!
uhhhh what????? "its legal" yea so was paying out $600K in "camp expenses"!?!?!? I mean you run camps and instead of making money, you pay money!!!!!! YEP nothing to see here!!!! Move right along!!!!
I mean I have seen this many times, dozens of times, hundreds even........ oh wait a minute......... NO I haven't , not even ONCE have I seen kids in skool who SUDDENLY leave to go on a mission!!!! I have seen Mormons who commit BEFORE skool etc.....
PLEASE point out OTHER F*** st wrestlers who have done this????? NOT Mormon by the way, also enrolled in skool for years!!!! I will help you out, how about any wrestlers from any team???? I will wait LMAO PATHETIC bunch of LOSERS you bandwagon clowns are!!!!!
Unfortunately, this didn't just come about. The parties involved have known about it since mid-summer from my understanding. But all together just a bull **** way of saving a year. But yes, this has been the game plan for a while now, just wasn't made public for whatever reason. Cael doing Cael things
If Mocco were the first one to do this, I have a feeling that 99% of the reactions from people on this board would be quite different.
Relax bud, it will all be alright. Don't pop a blood vessel over PSU. Cael is a snake and the same guy that betrayed his own school to be a sell out
So if someone's taking off to do a "mission", does their nil money follow them or is that on hold?
I’d at least identify for what it is, gaming the system. I wouldn’t sell it as some sudden enlightenment on part of the kids to protect Saint Carl’s reputation. Everyone knows what this is….the blowing of smoke up my hind end is what I find insulting.
IMO this is wrong. I understand. But it’s it is there true faith who are we to question. IRON hates PSU CLEARLY. Religion is a different breed. I have no intention of opening a religious war on a Hawkeye board. I will say this though if TNT did this with Basset would you have accepted it. I am done now. That might have been a brige to far
If this, if that. He wasn't the first but it's open season now to go get the mission red shirt. Thanks Cael for taking out the 5 for 5, just wondering which team ya think will benefit the most.
It's now 5 for 8; grey shirt and two mission years.
How does this affect PSU's 30 man roster (serious question)? Are they down to 28 this year or were they at 32 and are down to 30 now? Is the 30 man roster in effect this year yet? Waiting on Haines would have had bearing on their roster too if he got another year.
It is hard to say for anyone. There are exempted athletes who do not count toward the 30, but no one outside of the NCAA and the athletes/schools knows who they are or how many there are. With exempted athletes someone can have more than 30 wrestlers.
Right now PSU has 28.
They(F*** st people) are reporting that BabyFaceDavis is no longer on the roster? This is yet another example of WTF is going on!?!?!? Is babyFace still in NitWit Low Lying Swamp Valley????? Where is the kid? Did he leave skool, get cut.......?????? TheGR8 Krailure F-in up wrestlers as long as he has the $$$$$ , NO oversight, who cares right!?!?!??
Cael stated both of their churches had mission programs its not a Mormon thing
Well this is an iowa board so assume the worst about every kid in american that doesn't go to iowa university lol
From what I read (on Facebook so who knows) he got into some trouble again with drinking incident and was removed from the team.
With Davis, I'm hearing Cael is experimenting with the penal system and how it pertains to NCAA rules.
I'm still shocked Braeden is down with it all to be honest. These damn kids will do anything for that man...
Wow, the second they didn’t need him, he got kicked off the team for something he’s done multiple times. What an upstanding guy Carl is.
You're not wrong Chicago. I'm diehard Hawk fan but first thing I thought was how lucky JW is that Hawks didn't snag Shapiro out of the portal. JW would be training at cal poly or something.
You think these young men are doing that? Pretty bold statement. Did it occur to you that they may actually be fine young men honoring their calling to serve God? So many athletes proclaim their faith. If its not your deal, you have the right to not believe. To insinuate these men are lying about their faith, that's pretty scummy.
Im interested to see Msu's reaction to this "grok" guy's opinion.
So, you just had to look in the mirror and say his name three times?
Cael is sending a message to those trying to level the playing field that hes not to be messed with. (5 for 5 new rule). I wonder who suggested the rule change to begin with. He announced it publicly without the question being asked if memory serves. Hes probably still laughing, if hes following this thread, anyway.
I am sure it's just all a coicindence.
The 3 exemptions that pause the continuous 5 year eligibility clock:
- Active-Duty Military Service: Time spent serving on active duty in the military pauses the five-year clock.
- Official Religious Missions: Recognized official religious mission trips pause the clock (provided there is no organized competition during the service).
- Pregnancy / Maternity Leave: Pregnancy pauses the eligibility period when supported by appropriate medical documentation
I believe only Cyler went on a Mormon mission but he did not complete it. I think he came home after 2 or 3 months.
I’m not going to start. What are my options?
1. lose a year of eligibility in the practice room
2. Transfer
3. Enter the military
4. Get pregnant
5. Do a mission for my church
They picked #5. More power to them. We’ll just be sure to have them reach out to Ironbird next time to “show/talk” about their religious beliefs beforehand.
I'm not necessarily saying they are Mormon, I'm saying it's likely that they are but other religions can qualify if it meet certain criteria.
If you are Mormon, this is a part of something that you have to do between 18 and 25 so that's the most likely answer. But it's not the only answer.
Either way if the NCA is OK with it that means what they're doing is within their rules
And you know this how?
I doubt it would add much. However you can't have an assume person's motive because you never will know what it truly is.
I don't think they're on the roster or enrolled at school during this process.
So you should kick a kid off the team the first time he drinks?
It's a search engine just like Google AI. I never knew about an exemption for missionary work prior to this incident because I never paid attention to it.
But it seems we have a bunch of sore loser experts here who will assume the worst motives for people who want to do this?
No sh*t, Sherlock. In every sense of the word, I "literally" said that in my final sentence.
