That stinks. I hope everything turns out ok. I don't understand the guilty until proven innocent approach that the university is taking tho. I know that Purdue has become an extremely liberal college as of lately, but if he is proven innocent in a court of law, then what about the time he has missed in the class room and on the mat because they treated him as guilty from the start. But, if he is guilty, then I hope he gets the help he needs to move past this and learn to deal better with his emotions. Either way it's sad to hear.

Part of it is that he sent a picture of himself holding a gun to this girl, which he admitted to. So there is guilt here, there’s a few more things to look into. Here’s an article about it. https://www.purdueexponent.org/campus/article_566f70bc-d3d6-11e8-94df-ffe9ffc3bb22.html

Agree it is sad. Purdue is relatively conservative and by the book, not extremely liberal. The Purdue President Mitch Daniels is former Republican Governor or Indiana and was going to be the guy running for president a few years back.  He went after the cost of college education by freezing tuition costs for last 5 years with cuts to dead weight - that was not so popular with the liberal teaching/indoctrination crowd, but he has steadfastly won over alumni, parents, students in his time. Very visible on campus and supporter of wrestling.

Now as to the original post of Streck, very disappointed in the incident; most importantly, let's hope he gets help needed, and he and the young woman can safely move on. No excuses, it's a tough situation to lose your wrestling & academic career over. With technology & social media today, videos, emails, Snapchat, texts, etc. far more complex issues than years before to make some really stupid mistakes and have it recorded. Reminder to teach our children relationship management, but we are all not innocent of being hurt or verbally hurting others in love & war.   Would not be surprised of other outside stress issues impacting as well.

 On the mat, he was a round-of-12-guy this year IMO.

Not a great situation for the coach either. Rumblings of restless alumni in output and program handling last few years. Recruiting rankings only go so far. Bewilderment of weight class bouncing, bumping/cutting and management has been one issue heard. Bringing in Tanelli as assistant was viewed as a big mistake.  But there is a real solid assistant in Todd, and let's hope the Schopp hiring works well, on paper seems good. But at the end of the say, results will matter. 

Dylan Lydy's growth could be a job saver.

Where are you hearing all this about the program? Surprising, after the past few years have been better and first class which was only decent are redshirt juniors, with Lydy and Limmex being ranked.

Purdue wrestling is going in the right direction,  another top 20 Dual Ranking, and wrestling a tough schedule with CK in Vegas, South Beach Duals, and obviously the rigors of the BIG10 Schedule.  FLO has Purdue kids Ranked at 125, 141, 157, 174, 197, (and would be HWT).  That would be 6 (depending on the outcome of Streck).  May not beat PSU, IOWA or OSU, but guessing will be pretty competitive with the remainder of the Big10,  Improved results, will improve recruiting - and it is a cycle - Ersland has not even had time yet to complete a 4 year cycle.  The kids coming in now - want to be there, and understand what it takes, and the momentum is definitely going upward.

Purdue has always had guys ranked and been a perennial top 20-25 team ranking due to wrestling in the Big Ten. But last AA was in 2013, with some tough losses in round-of-12 since then.

"Ersland has not even had time yet to complete a 4 year cycle"? This is year 5, hired in year 2014. His stalwarts were previously recruited guys except for Lydy, who was always a Purdue lean.... Your 4* 157lb face of the recruiting class was pinned 5 times last year, and you are about to lose grip on Indiana's best with Angel at IU, etc.....It's time for results..

I believe he came into head coach position late 2014 - so his full recruiting class was class of 2015 which would have wrestled in 2016.  Assuming redshirts - his first FULL year of recruiting would be RSSophs right now.

This is his 5th year of coaching - signed 5/23/2014 for the 2014-2015 season  and his 5th recruiting class.

His first recruiting class are either RS-JR's or true Seniors this year.
