If Cael leaves it seems like a pretty clear sign that something is really rotten in the athletic department. Seriously, if we can't keep a guy like this what can we do?

Well, we take a huge hit in national prestige, that's for sure. Wrestling is our claim to fame, and Cael Sanderson is our poster boy.
I agree to a point but if ISU is truly one of the top wrestling programs in the country (which they are) they will keep their coach if he's happy there. How many times do you see a top coach in football or basketball leave one of the traditional powerhouses?It's not the athletic department's fault if they offer him an outrageous amount of money. If they have a donor or two willing to pony up millions of dollars, everyone has a price.

Orr never won a national title at Michigan. Also, Michigan didn't seem very interested in keeping him, as he had a couple of mediocre years there and the pressure was mounting...Well, there WAS a guy named Johnny Orr, who, after winning a national title at Michigan, left to come here, a place with absolutely no basketball tradition, because we ponied up the $$$ - just sayin'...

But, still, that's just a number someone threw out there and USC would probably match or at least come close enough that Pete Carroll would never leave.You don't see it now because it would be really hard to throw enough money at a top football or basketball coach. Don't you think $100 million over 5 years would get the attention of Pete Carroll? That would be the kind of money needed if the 5x offer to Cael is accurate.
Who are your sources?
It's your AD over in IC that has SERIOUS issues. His football program is the laughing stock of college football. They are known everywhere as the new Miami Hurricane's of college football. And his basketball program.... do they even still have one left?
Yeah I don't think a few PAULAs and PIs are quite getting the nationwide scrutiny you think they are. If they are the Hurricane's, they are a rookie league Hurricane's. They won 9 games last year and have a lot of talent returning. I don't think there are too many laughs beyond a few chuckles.
And apparently they do have a hoops program because they beat ours this past season. And our wrestling team. And our football team. And our women's basketball team.
Furthemore, their AD is on very solid footing financially while ours needs subsidy from the school and his hemorraging money thanks to Pollard.
If their AD has "serious issues" I don't know what that makes ours. On life support?
welcome to cyclonefanatic, hawkeye fan.
Yeah right. Just cuz I don't guzzle the kool aid.

Back to your regularly scheduled Cyclone Athletics Meltdown.
How would that make any sense at all?
Aaaand because you just joined CF when this story came out, and since that time you've made four anti-ISU posts. Give up, no one believes you.:no:

All Hawkeye fans hate Pollard... which is how it should be. I'd be worried if Hawkeye fans liked our AD.
