According to him, the authorities conducted objectionable measures in the investigation, which darkened the program related to the ongoing NCAA betting scam. And Tom Brands has unparalleled trust in his wrestlers.
So, showcasing that trust, Brands took a stand for them. That is his nature- putting the best ones into the Iowa Hawkeyes and standing for them. In that respect, Tom Brands looks forward to welcoming another young talent on his roster.
