TOP EARNERS
Name, College, Salary
-- Cael Sanderson, Iowa State, $110,000
-- Jack Spates, Oklahoma, $110,000
-- Mark Johnson, Illinois, $108,550
-- J Robinson, Minnesota, $100,000
-- Brian Smith, Missouri, $100,000
-- John Smith, Oklahoma State, $100,000
-- Pat Santoro, Maryland, $99,866
-- Tom Brands, Iowa, $99,750
1. Dresser is making over twice what Brands made when he left for Iowa. But Iowa State was paying their coach 10% more than that at that time.
2. Assuming salaries have doubled over 9 years, Dresser is being well compensated. I would assume Iowa State could be paying a 300K or so to get him.
3. Remember culture...he's an Iowan. He'd be Brands chief rival, again. More fans will show up, but I'm not so sure that PSU and tOSU haven't become more the center or wrestling today. Who wants to spend their 4 year college life in Iowa? Except wrestlers, or native Iowans [Post edited by HoakieBS at 02/20/2017 09:30AM]
