I just got a letter from Coach Ayres. An appeal for money because that is the main issue for the guys in the portal. 

They love Stanford and don’t want to go, but would be fools if they didn’t enter the portal to find out the real numbers…their “market value”. From numerous back channels, the “poachers” were getting numbers to them and they were high. So I really couldn’t blame them for going in.

 . . .Penn State’s revenue share for wrestling is 1.8 million. That is more than our total budget. Iowa State Cyclones wrestling revenue share is $1.0 million.

We are not asking for the numbers PSU, OSU, and Iowa have to use to fund their success, and neither are our wrestlers, but we need more. The reality is they are spending 4-7x the money institutionally.

So if you know someone with a chunk of money to invest in athletics who wants to make a difference, send them to Coach Ayres.
