Reply to comment by falbi23 in Purdue's Matt Ramos stuns Iowa's Spencer Lee in semifinals at NCAA Championships by HeStoleMyBalloons

In terms of the monkeys paw, this guy won a national championship for Purdue the same day that their men’s basketball team, the top ranked team in the country, get beat in the championship tournament by the lowest ranked team who only made in it due to a technicality.

So the monkeys paw was all the fans of Purdue wishing for a national championship. They got it, in wrestling, but the cost was their basketball team suffering the biggest upset in tournament history

God said that Purdue could win in basketball or wrestling, but not both. Purdue told God to decide for them. God looked at his brackets and made his decision.

You may be correct. I think I misspoke.
