Penn State has hired Iowa State head coach Cael Sanderson to take over the Nittany Lions wrestling program, luring away a marquee name from one of the sport's geographic hotbeds.Sanderson leaves his alma mater, Iowa State, after three seasons. The Cyclones won three straight Big 12 titles under Sanderson and finished in the top five in each of the last three NCAA championships.

Penn State said Sanderson will be introduced officially as head coach at a news conference Monday.

Sanderson also is known for his accomplishments on the mat as an Olympic gold medalist and a four-time NCAA champion. He went undefeated in four years at Iowa State (159-0). He was the first NCAA wrestler to go undefeated with more than 100 wins.

He takes over for Troy Sunderland, who resigned two weeks ago following 11 seasons at the helm at Penn State.

according to...?

someone who I trust. I will send you a pm.

When can we expect an announcement, Wiltz?

Not sure about the timeline. Cael was in happy valley today. I would guess he still needs time to wrap things up. If I hadn't heard it from this person I wouldn't have believed it. 5 years close to 3 million.

No April fools I guess there could be some 11th hour miracle that keeps Cael in Ames. Not likely though.

Wow, huge news. I hope it's not true, but it sounds like the source is legit and it must be true. Wiltz doesn't BS on matters like these. I'm speechless.
