Episode 437 of Airey Bros Radio is now LIVE on all podcast platforms — originally streamed on ABR YouTube on Feb 3, 2026.We're joined by Jim Giunta, Founder / President & Chairman of the National Collegiate Wrestling Association (NCWA) — the governing body that's helped create college wrestling opportunity for thousands of athletes across the U.S., Canada, and beyond.In this conversation, Jim breaks down what the NCWA is (and isn't), why we should call them teams/programs — not “club teams,” and how wrestlers can start a program at their school the right way (hint: it starts with students, not coaches walking into the AD's office).We also get into NCWA Nationals (massive brackets + big-show atmosphere), transition teams (schools moving divisions who compete through the NCWA), the rise of women's collegiate wrestling (folkstyle + freestyle), and Jim's newest project — the National Collegiate Grappling Association (NCGA/NCGAA) with rules designed to reward real takedowns and action.Powered by Black Sheep Endurance Coaching / ☕ Value-for-value: BuyMeACoffee.com/AireyBrosTime-Stamped Show Notes (Episode 437)0:00 ABR mission: spotlighting opportunities beyond the “Power 4”0:40 Show open + intro: Jim Giunta joins (NCWA Founder/President)1:58 Jim's background + NCWA growth overview (teams, athletes, alumni)3:05 Why the NCWA matters: real opportunity for wrestlers who aren't D1 roster locks3:55 Jim's origin story: Pennsylvania to Texas A&M — “we ain't got no wrestling here”5:58 Starting wrestling in Texas: early club roots + building infrastructure6:39 Why Jim founded the NCWA (late 90s) and how it started with 13 teams8:34 Teams/programs vs “club wrestling” — why language matters9:09 The Apprentice School example + athletic-department funded programs10:02 NCWA as a wrestling-only governing body (not distracted by other sports)11:20 NCWA “D1 vs D2” structure + what “emerging programs” means12:24 “Orphan alumni” and rebuilding programs at schools that dropped wrestling14:04 Want wrestling at your school?

⭐️ Get Your Buckeye Gear ON SALE NOW!!! VISIT TheBuckeyeCast.com https://thebuckeyecast.com/ Ohio State must replace All-American defensive end Caden Curry in 2026 — and the Buckeyes' national championship hopes may depend on how this defensive line reloads. In this episode of the Buckeyes Roster Reset series, we break down: * How Ohio State replaces Caden Curry's 11-sack season * Kenyatta Jackson's expected breakout year * What Alabama transfer Qua Russaw brings to the pass rush * Projected snap counts for every major defensive end * Sack and TFL predictions for Jackson, Russaw, and the young depth * Can five-star freshman Khary Wilder contribute early? * Is the defensive end room deep enough for a CFP run? Ohio State defensive coordinator Matt Patricia will need pressure off the edge in 2026 — especially with a brutal Big Ten schedule ahead. We analyze whether the Buckeyes' defensive line can avoid a drop-off and remain one of the top pass-rushing units in college football. If Ohio State is going to compete for a College Football Playoff berth and another Big Ten title, this position group has to deliver.

Typically, college football programs didn't know what their full rosters would look like until the beginning of summer. For example, Ohio State added defensive end Beau Atkinson via the portal in June last year. Not that Atkinson was a huge addition, but he's just one of many examples across the country. Well, due to the one-time transfer portal window in January, teams now know what their rosters will look like before they even enter spring ball. Ohio State also made some key additions to its coaching staff. So, with spring ball less than a month away, do we feel like the Buckeyes checked all the necessary boxes during the whirlwind "offseason?" That is the main topic of discussion on the Friday the 13th 5ish with Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle.
