“On the way out the door, aided by his new bride, Beau Bartlett disappoints once again”.
First loser may be his lot in life

What I see is false outrage from people who are not Penn State fans. It kind of reminds me of the Sandusky Scandal. You had a lot of moralizing by Paterno/Penn State haters who cared not for the actual facts. They liked the narrative, and in no way wanted it changed.
Actually, I got immunized against both forms of bias a few years back before traveling abroad. So yeah, I’m completely immune.
I think Beau's wife made hime the villain. Just my opinion she seems to have more of an axe to grind than Beau. Sounds like if nothing was stolen nothing gets said
At this point, why do we all assume that something was stolen? Because Beau and Syd say so?
It seems to me that the thing the Bartletts (at least the wife) appear to seek most at this point (social media influencer status) is becoming the very thing that will be her/their downfall. She just doesn’t seem to know when to stop talking. If they are truly focused on bad conduct and helping others, she would stop making it about herself and stay off social media. File a formal complaint already and prove that you were harmed — that is how you address these very serious allegations. I fear for them that they don’t realize that in-your-face social media warfare is going to soon intersect with a real world lawsuit from at least Starocci. Unless they can prove their allegations, these very public character assignations could backfire on them spectacularly. Her social media posts will become Exhibits A - Z and will not endear her to a jury/judge.
Instead, I suspect the frustration with the lack of meaningful outrage by anyone that matters will cause them/she to soon double down on her goals and make some new/revised vague allegations that will start the whole thing over again. If that happens, it pretty much proves their/her motives and tells everyone all they need to know about this matter. Unfortunately, I just don’t think this will stop until they are forced to stop in court.
Beau was not my favorite wrestler but I definitely cheered for him each time out and really hoped he beat Mendez when it mattered most. Up until now, he seemed to be a good ambassador for the program and he seemed to really enjoy being part of the team. I feel things have gone sideways for him well beyond what maybe he intended, especially with respect to allegations against the coaches/staff. Unfortunately, it is going to be next to impossible to unwind this in a way that will not taint him negatively as well unless he can bring down the entire program and I just don’t see that happening. Sad all around.
As always just my opinions. Feel free to disagree.

Not to mention that while veal does come in quarters, but corners is a new menu item!
I think this is pretty reasonable.
I'll disagree about a lawsuit being likely based on what we know today. @tikk has talked on the old board quite a bit about libeling/defaming a public figure. I'll leave that to him.
I think it's unlikely because (1) Carter would need to be able to prove damages. "Reputational damage" isn't getting him anywhere, see his IG history. Monetary damages ... what are they? He lost a spot on NLWC, but has he lost any other sponsorships or endorsements? Enough to justify going to court?
(2) Carter might not want to go thru discovery. And a trial would also risk the alleged victims testifying. Based on what we know so far, I can't imagine Carter's attorney advising him to take this to court.
Even when you are wronged, sometimes letting sleeping dogs lie is the best policy. Carter is challenged by his persona, so his best option is to let the silence win the day for him.
I don’t disagree that if Carter feels he is at risk and has the ability to resume his career, then maybe he shouldn’t pursue. I don’t know his side so can go beyond that.
I do think he can prove damages though and as far as being a public figure, that may or may not be the standard here. Even assuming it is, reckless disregard for the accuracy of the statements is generally sufficient to meet the actual malice standard in a lot of cases. In the article, I recall Bartlett’s wife being quoted as saying she told Carter’s GF about the allegations even though she didn’t know if they were true. She has subsequently made many more public statements in her social media that are more definitive about Carter’s guilt — if she doesn’t know if they are true — that could be pretty reckless.
Totally agree....and so glad CS has not escalated this on social media. He must be getting good advice, but still impressed he hasn't responded.
I always liked Beau and cheered like hell for him to beat Mendez at NCAAs. He was very dynamic…Always hoped he would pull the trigger more and just let it fly.
That said…I am left wondering if the Bartlett’s are pissed at Cael and company for not getting an invite into the NLWC
…or maybe he did…just gotta wonder.

I think the same **** unfolds wherever he is going. I had a buddy who had a wife like that she always had to have the attention and did the most outrageous things to get it. Unfortunately for my buddy he was usually in the middle of all the ********. I felt bad for him
Oh boy, more speculation. Just what we need.
Come on now. That's taking the Beau hate too far. What does he have to gain from filing a false police report? I have no doubt he had stuff stolen.
No we don't.
He could've gone to most any RTC in the country. The fact that he went to NYC RTC gives it away. Their move wasn't about wrestling, otherwise he could've gone to OKST or Michigan or even Lehigh or Penn. They wanted to move to the big city.
I'm not a lawyer, but...
Not knowing if the allegations are true is not the same as knowing the allegations are false. The later is the legal standard for libel.
I have never been suicidal, but I think five minutes with gal would make me that way.
Well, looks like SydDollasign made it. Mission Accomplished.
Seriously, I'm out on this. Wake me up when somebody over 25 gets officially involved in this. These people are a clown show.
That's quite revealing and I was pretty nieve about her social media presence.
Wow! Ya, I don’t believe anything she says. After watching that video, I actually pity Beau. He’s not the first, or last, man to be ruined by a crazy lady. Good luck Beau, you are going to need it.
Not Beau hate. Take off your blinders. Beau and Syd are trying to become social media influencers. Claiming victimhood is nowhere close to what influencer wannabees will do for attention. It's how you get clicks. People file false police reports all day every day. All we can say for a fact is that Beau filed a police report. It was investigated. No evidence of theft nor evidence of a perpetrator was found. We just have Beau's word that something was stolen, and frankly given his recent history of vagueness and lack of detail, I'm no longer giving Beau/Syd the benefit of the doubt on anything.
The facts that Carter is a bad guy and Syd Bartlett is a self promoter are not mutually exclusive. Often when trying to sort through information to discern what is fact and what isn't, ask yourself who gains?
There is sufficient smoke to presume that Carter committed a number of bad acts. He hasn't responded to these allegations because he is probably getting good advice. I'm guessing that he has nothing to gain by diving deeper into these allegations.
Syd Bartlett AKA @syddollasign has a whole lot to gain by keeping this discussion going on social media. My daughter is an influencer specialist with a marketing agency. She hires these people to make videos promoting their client's products. You'd be shocked at what they are paid for creating a 20 second video. There are huge dollars at stake, and I assure you that Syd knows exactly what the opportunity is to lever her presence in the market. As an example, poking the social media trolls with posts trying to instigate more hate towards her, making her the victim while fighting the good fight.
The real victims are anyone that suffered sexual assault, not the person waving a banner on their behalf.
My take? I'm a fan of neither Carter or Syd. Ironically they both appear to have been opportunists with common victims. Life in 2025 at its best.

Nothing about the videos surprises me. They seem pretty typical for 20-somethings, who pretty much grew up with / on social media.
If these two curated selections are an attempt to show Syd's worst, they seem pretty mild to me.
Don't be surprised by content that appears to you as little more than every thought that has entered a content creator's head being spoken wholly unfiltered. That's the new norm.
I think NYT v Sullivan is the SCOTUS precedent on libel cases with public persons. It is too bad, but no one will come at this unscathed. Once the court of public opinion gets hold PSU wrestling and coaches, C*, Beau ... will all be tarnished. I hope I am wrong.
I agree....but it's sad.
I have a hard time understanding how there is an audience for this sh*t and that someone can make money doing this.
Really? Beau gave arguably more to the team than anyone. He wrestled up a weight for the team, not himself. Your take is really bad. He's a major part of 4 National Championships.
To think that Beau came to a message board to get people to lay off his wife….
A good example of the wisdom informing the Cael Sanderson approach to social media and public comment, I suppose.
If his career survives this episode, I can see PSU wrestlers using flip phones from this point forward as a condition of NIL/Scholarship.

This girl has issues, to say the least. I would take anything she says with a grain of salt. She is all about “me,me me me me me. Look at me. Look at me!” She is the definition of a narcissist.
Someday their kids will see those videos. And never be able to unsee them.
