Wrestling: Portal Hello

Admission people must like wrestling 

Sorry but Slater wrestled for Iowa….

Any former wrestler you are trying to indirectly insult on here would probably be glad to meet up with you to chat about it. I kid, of course.

As a student I attended more wrestling meets than basketball and Hockey games combined.

It actually makes sense. At it's core, it is an individual sport. 

Transfers from sports that are, in essence, team sports (like football) have to build a feel for team mates - how they react under various circumstances - and learn a whole different system when they transfer. That is not an issue with wrestling.

1. He's not a transfer. He graduated. Graduate students aren't transfers. The term "grad-transfer" isn't a thing except in rare cases like a PhD advisor takes a faculty job at another school. 
2. Ivy league schools don't allow graduate students to participate in varsity sports, so he has no choice but to matriculate to another university for his graduate degree if he wants to use his remaining eligibility. 
3. It is a big deal he chose Michigan. Having great graduate school programs is a structural advantage for UM.
4. The reasons it's big news is people are complaining it's bad for the sport because it dilutes mid-majors, and that Michigan is "transfer U." But Michigan hasn't had a well regarded undergrad transfer in since like 2014. The reason Michigan takes guys from Stanford, Northwestern , and Cornell is because it's graduate schools are in the same tier. You could argue Stanford is a leg up in many departments but generally, the graduate school applicant pools are similar. It's very good for graduate students to attend other schools as it broadens their network and enhances employability.

No, RTC’s are a big recruiting factor though, gyys who want to compete internationally come for Cliff Keen Wrestling Club, not saying that’s the case here, but often times.
