Sanderson left ISU for Penn State. Why? The reasons he cited don't make sense. His salary is quadrupled and money is not the issue? Yeah, right. I can only think of only two other reasons as to why Sanderson left ISU.
1. Facilities -- if Penn State completed a major upgrade to their wrestling training facilities, I can see why Cael would state that winning a national championship would be easier. Having cutting edge facilities would make recruiting much easier. So, Penn State may have better facilities than ISU.
2. Jamie Pollard (the AD) and Cael had a falling out -- maybe, over what, facilities, or something else?
Well, this is another coaching re-hire Pollard must make; his record on coach retention is not good so far. It's giving ISU a bad rep on the recruiting trail. The replacement candidates I've heard about so far are eminently qualified and would be good hires. Hopefully, the next wrestling head coach will "dovetail" with Pollard better. ISU fans can only hope.
