New Penn State wrestling coach Cael Sanderson denied that he received a big contract to leave Iowa State, saying on his blog...
"The offer I received was less then a 10% increase from what I made last year."Sanderson supposedly earned $137K at Iowa State last year. If this is accurate, that would mean a $150K annual salary at Penn State. But we still believe there was a significant signing bonus.
Our speculation aside, why did Sanderson leave his alma mater?
"Because Pennsylvania is consistently the top high school wrestling state in the country. PA also borders Ohio, NJ, and NY, three of the top ncaa wrestling all-American producing states in the country. Penn State is probably the most popular athletic department in the country. Penn State has more kids apply to school then any other school in the country. The potential is unbelievable. That is why I have decided to make the change at this time. Through a lot of prayer and discussion with my family I feel that I am supposed to go to Penn State.
"The opportunity to step in and awake a sleeping GIANT is exciting. I know ISU will always be at or near the top. I feel terrible that I didn’t accomplish what I said I would do at Iowa State and that was to win the national championship. That alone almost made me pass on what I feel is a better opportunity for my family. It hurts but down deep I know I have made the right decision. I can’t explain that."
