He’s not smarter than the ones that came before him and did both. There’s a reason it’s never done and certainly never done successfully

I'm confused by the article. It states that he only had the chance to wrestle one season for Iowa but then went on to say that he was a two time NCAA champion and participated on three teams. A bit confusing.

Do you guys have a quarterback? Nope.
Do you guys have a FG kicker? Nope.

Getting out of that non-con schedule unscathed isn't going to happen, which means you will not win 6 games.
You should concentrate more on what is going on in Ames than Iowa City.
Are other sports expected to announce suspensions in coming days?

I'm a middle age guy, inching closer and closer to death, so I'm always rooting for young people to do what hasn't ever been done, doing the impossible, breaking barriers. You will never find a bigger cheerleader than me. I don't know the wrestling world that well, so I don't know if that young man can dabble in both worlds or not.
Carlton Haselrig
Brock Lesnar
These are the two names that immediately come to mind. Even if Kueter can't reach Lesnar or Haselrig status, I'm still rooting for him.

You’ve proved my point. Sindlinger wrestled one full year and the tail end of another. Both after his football eligibility was done

Dude, you said it's "never been done successfully."
That's factually incorrect.
Sindlinger started for three years in football, won 2 B1G wrestling championships and finished Top 6 at nationals twice.
How is that not successful? And if BK did the same thing, would that be "successful" in your eyes?
So even if you're right (and it doesn't look like you are) just because somethings never been done before then it shouldn't be attempted according to you?.... Good thing you weren't in charge of things back in the day we might not have had the forward pass or 3 pt shot by now.
It's the kids life and career. If the coaches are cool with it then I am. I suppose you think you should pick which sport he should focus on and what position he should play and what colored socks he should wear?
Well rumors had been out there the wrestling room was going to get hit the hardest... They weren't kidding evidently.
I was referring to “participation in both sports during the same season”. He didn’t do that. He wrestled after football eligibility was over. It’s my understanding that keuter hopes to do both simultaneously. Big difference. Enormous difference. And that’s my entire point.
The fact sindlinger was able to compete at such a high level after being out of the sport that long (at least from a competition standpoint) is unbelievable.
I wish keuter all the luck in the world, but I’m positive he’ll need to pick a lane or pull a Sindlinger
