If any coach, in any sport, in the entire country deserves what he asks for, it's this man. Pay up suckas!!

From the article: "The program in 2015-16 brought in $636,917 in ticket revenue. Total operating expenses were listed at just over $2.4 million and total revenue was listed at just over $1.7 million. It awarded $397,006 in scholarships, and its recruiting budget was $45,532, according to the 2016 NCAA Annual Financial Report filed by Penn State."

Based on this, is there any big time wrestling program that breaks even?

He should at least have a base salary that places him as the highest paid Div. I wrestling coach in the country...without a doubt, no?

Does he deserve the highest salary? WITHOUT A DOUBT. That being said, just from what I know of Cael, he wants what he seems is fair but doesn't NEED to be the highest paid head coach in the country if that could somehow hinder things more important to him like seeing his assistants, facilities and anything to better PSU wrestling to have everything they need to be successful..If I were to bet, the only thing holding him back right now is that he's fighting for more for his assistants.

Absolutely a doubt. Dresser just signed for 300k/yr. Matching that means giving Cael a 70% raise in base pay

He might be getting that with incentives anyway.

He might not want that much. He seems to be the type who would rather ensure his assistants are taken care of, than having his own pay be top of the market when he already lives comfortably.

He probably would also rather the program have top of the line resources.

Cael is special. PSU is very fortunate to have him.

It all depends on how Dresser's contract is structured as to what his salary component actually is.

Almost certainly not. The only one possible is Iowa. Cael has stated that one of his goals is for PSU wrestling to be self sustaining, meaning break even or better. It will be a tough goal to reach but it could happen if we keep increasing the revenue stream.
 
Does the BigTen $$ - revenue - added into the equation? For example, OSU is getting something from Flo. Is PSU using the BIG revenue share or is it addressed differently?
 
I read the other day that Ryan's total compensation package was around $450k annually. That's absurd.

For a school that hands out money like it prints it, this should be simple. Ask Cael what he wants and pay the man.

Seriously doubt it's a pay the man issue. More likely an issue of how his non-salary requests fit within such trivial matters as the Athletics Dept comprehensive facilities plan.

PSU accounting allocates $0.00 to Wrestling for NCAA distributions, B1G distributions, and media/licensing rights. Football (about 65%) and Men's Hoops (35%) get all of the accounting split from those sources, which is not only technically wrong, but also hilarious given football vs hoops TV contracts in general, and PSU football vs men's hoops in particular.

For 2015/16, men's hoops had 15 home games, and pulled in $831,724 ($55,448 per home game). Wrestling had 7 home duals, generating $682,105 ($97,443 per home dual).

So they are trying to balance the budget for FB and MBB from the TV money, shorting the non-revenue sports? Sounds normal...

It isn't just PSU, that is happening here too.

Don't doubt it. My point was to not assume PSU is taking care of football and hoops at the expense of other sports. Rather, assume it's an acctg shortcut.

Not having BIG network here, how much relative time do they spend showing non-revenue sports?
Click to expand...
Not a definitive answer, but ...

Q: How many events are on BTN annually?

A: BTN is on the air 24 hours per day, 365 days a year. The network nationally televises more than 500 events and streams approximately 1,000 more events each year. Each year’s schedule includes approximately 40 football games, 120 regular season men’s basketball games, Big Ten Men’s Basketball Tournament games, 55 women’s basketball games, Big Ten Women’s Basketball Tournament games, hundreds of additional Olympic sports events and dozens of Big Ten championship events. Q: Is there a good balance between men’s and women’s sports on BTN? A: The network provides comparable coverage of men’s and women’s sports across all platforms. BTN covers a variety of women’s sports including, basketball, ice hockey, golf, lacrosse, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field and volleyball. Each week during the academic year, the network produces and airs the Big Ten Women’s Sports Report, a program dedicated exclusively to the highlights and accomplishments of female Big Ten student-athletes.

Q: In addition to sporting events, what other programs should I expect to see on BTN?

A: BTN also produces a large number of studio shows and original programming. The network’s signature series, The Journey, has been nominated for multiple Emmy awards. Other original programming includes, Big Ten Elite, Big Ten Treasure Hunter and the network’s feature length documentary, Tiebreaker. Every BTN football game telecast is surrounded by Big Ten Football Saturday, the network’s pre-game, halftime and post-game show hosted by Dave Revsine and analysts Gerry DiNardo, Howard Griffith and Glen Mason. BTN also televises a large number of press conferences, including but not limited to breaking news, coaching hires and post—game interviews.

Q: How can I watch BTN via Internet stream?

A: BTN offers two different streaming services, BTN2Go and the BTN Plus. BTN2Go is a 24/7 simulcast of BTN that delivers live programming to existing BTN subscribers via tablets, smartphones, and PCs as well as on-demand access to BTN’s deep archive of games and original programming and Extra Football Game Channels. BTN Plus is the network’s subscription-based streaming service that provides coverage of Big Ten games that are not being televised live. Events include non-conference men’s basketball, women’s basketball, wrestling, volleyball and baseball. Football games are not available via BTN Plus. For more information please visit BTN Plus. Q: Which football and basketball games air on BTN? A: Each season the Big Ten Conference divides its home games between its television partners, including BTN, ESPN and ABC in football, and BTN, ESPN and CBS for men’s basketball, ensuring that all Big Ten home football and men’s basketball games are televised to a national audience. Television agreements for games that are contested at away or neutral sites are determined by the host school or organization.

Q. Which Olympic sporting events (e.g. field hockey, soccer, wrestling, etc.) air on the network?

A: In the fall BTN airs wrestling, women’s volleyball, men’s and women’s soccer, field hockey and men’s and women’s cross country. In the winter BTN airs ice hockey, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, men’s and women’s indoor track and field, and men’s and women’s gymnastics. In the spring BTN airs baseball, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s outdoor track and field and rowing. The conference and its television partners determine which events will be televised. Consideration is given to appealing matchups while striving to achieve a balance between sports and universities represented. BTN does include a number of wildcard dates in the schedule to allow some matchup flexibility.

Thanks, guys. (el-Jef and 85). Just some quick math of the FB and BB figures gives me about 600 hours of those live combined. Out of 8760 total hours available. DEMAND MORE WRESTLING!

BTN - Televise the Wrestling team's Dodgeball matches instead of old Mich-tOSU reruns. Much more fun to watch.​
