I didnt even realize Calvin Booth was the GM for the Nuggets. Does this make him our most successful NBA grad?

Top 5 All-American Candidates on PSU's Roster

+

Interesting link because they go into what obstacles stand in the way of these guys being first-team All-Americans. Because of that, Chop should probably be higher considering he put up numbers last year despite spliting snaps with Tarburton and technically never starting a game. Also think Theo Johnson has a shot to put up stats worthy of some national attention too as long as he's not in the doghouse too long for off the field shenanigans

NCAA approves 3-point takedown, other rule changes for '23-'24

+

NCAA has approved increasing the value for a takedown from two to three. Other key rule changes include: - Addition of a three-point near fall (NF may now be 2, 3, or 4) - Top wrestlers must actively be looking for a turn - Hand-touch takedowns have been eliminated - Expansion of the five-second count to any situation where the top wrestler grabs the ankle - Officials may now overturn any missed call in the sequence during a video review instead of a single move - Untimely challenges now just result in the loss of the challenge instead of being assessed a penalty point for loss of mat control - The first medical forfeit will count as a loss unless immediately following and injury default - Restriction on facial hair length has been eliminated

81 - 0 is still the largest margin of victory in modern college football.

I think many non Penn State fans would be surprised to find the Nittany Lions atop thus list.
