Cael's contract
- Thread starter derks
- Start date
I doubt there will be any news about this until it's accomplished. Historically, PSU athletics has always handled personnel matters privately. In isolated instances (mainly involving FB or BB), some parts of the process may leak out, but they are the exception. On the other side of the equation, CS is also very private, both about his private life and about his program.
Pretty much nothing but speculation has appeared about what took place between AD Barbour and CS. I doubt that the new AD (Kraft), will let slip anything on a public basis about the contract situation until the process is completed.
They will get something done. There is no way they don’t take care of Cael Sanderson. He is the best coach of any sport in college athletics.
To add to this: Under every previous regime, they've only released contract info for the head football coach plus the men's basketball coach. Could be wrong but don't believe they ever did that for WBB.
I'm working to find out where things stand here but haven't heard much rumors or otherwise recently.
Penn State signs top coach to new contract extension
The Lions have locked in a critical member of their athletic department.
Deserves every penny and so does his staff deserve a raise. We are very lucky to have Cael Sanderson as our HC. He’s the best coach by far in any sport in the country especially when it comes to doing things the right way every day. What’s really crazy is he’s even a better human being. Can’t wait until he breaks Gables record for National Championships which will happen.

Besides his many many accomplishments for the college team, the Nittany Lion club wrestlers have done quite well in international events including world championships and Olympics! Hopefully Cael will be coach at PSU until he decides he wants to retire-hopefully not until a few decades even if his on the mat wrestling (I do not know much he still does) has to stop. I posed this question on other board with no response-curious what facilities outside of the practice one they have Cael would want or is he happy with Rec Hall and annual match in the bigger arena at PSU! Give Cael what he wants! Also, sounds like some wrestlers are getting decent NIl deals which is great as college wrestlers obviously do not get the million dollar contracts that great football and baskeball players get after leaving PSU! Plus of course many of PSU wrestlers do not get 100% scholarships unlike football and basketball players,
I’m not sure what the compensation for Cael is from Penn State but I’m sure it is more than fair. Also, we have the absolute best assistant coaches who could go anywhere in the country and succeed. But yet they stay with us. I’m sure the deal for Cael is a complete package which includes the assistants and NLWC. This is where Cael wanted to come and where he wants to stay.
I can't imagine a better program, better team results, better team member behavior, better public relations and better ambassadorship for the University than what Coach Cael Sanderson has provided. This PSU Wrestling Program is the template for all others to be measured against. While we may never know, I hope that his compensation package reflects the many successes and accolades that he has brought to the University. Without doubt, Coach Sanderson is doing his best. It is a rare intersection in life when doing your best and being the best meet. We should all inhale that rarefied air because we are experiencing what is perhaps a never-to-occur-again event.
pay the man in the rarest of pokemon cards for all i care, just keep him AND HIS CREW the happiest in happy valley
Why would it? If it follows standard protocol, the NLWC is paying Penn State for the use of the facilities.
So that’s my question. How is NLWC funded? Who pays the staff and wrestlers? My only guess is donors. If so, that’s a hefty chunk of change to pay for this elite staff and wrestlers and operations every year. My point being, Im assuming Cael’s contract only covers his Penn State coaching responsibilities, and I assume he earns another nice chunk of change for leading NLWC. @Wrestler2u suggested that his contract would cover both responsibilities and that is my question. The fact that it’s called Nittany Lion suggests an affiliation with the university. Does the university allow NLWC to use its mark and facilities, or does it charge them? Thanks for your pleasant response to help me understand something I’m unfamiliar with.

Given that USA Wrestling is in charge of selecting RTCs, it's possible that they also provide some funding.

Thanks for the link to the Tax Filing info. That goes a long way in explaining to those that think the NLWC is paying out $8 million in slush fund money each year. Looks like they spent roughly $850,000 in salaries and wages in 2020 and there are fifteen wrestlers and two coaches listed, which works out to around $50,000 per person.
The NLWC recently had a new logo designed which is owned by PSU but the NLWC can use without paying fees. The old (current PSU logo) made sales very complicated and the NLWC had to pay for it's use.
Here's the new NLWC image.
