Not at all surprising, but will more schools get hit?

Could be. Perry only works at one school at a time.
Apparently an assistant coach contacting a student athlete about transferring is frowned upon more so than an alum who donates to the wrestling program. Yes, Ski Bunny Bob, I am talking about you.

There is something that does not make sense to me. The NCAA release made a point of saying that Dresser did not know "that Perry’s conversations pertained to recruiting them to more than the Cyclone RTC" which would imply he knew Perry was having conversations. Yet somehow Dresser did not know they were about ISU in spite of the fact he had previously "communicated with an exiting men’s wrestling head coach at another university and expressed interest in recruiting two of that coach’s student-athletes." I find it wholly unbelievable that he did not know, or suspect, what Perry's conversations were about.

And remember this is the same Dresser who inadvertently admitted to breaking an NCAA rule on FRL when he discussed how he arranged the brackets at the last chance open to insure his guys got enough 1 second wins to boost their win percentages to the NCAA qualifying minimum.. Nothing happened to him then either, though the NCAA changed its rules regarding last chance opens.

The NCAA didn't have the evidence that Dresser knew. And they self imposed so they probably stopped digging and then Dresser retired. The NCAA will take phones . Perry not being an NCAA coach he doesn't legally have to give up his phone.

Dresser didn't retire. He got a nominal promotion.
