Penn st only overtook Iowa because after Gable retired Iowa hired wrong coach and Penn st lured Sanderson away from Iowa st...and he took a whole bunch of good wrestlers from Iowa st including his brother and combined with Penn st to instantly have a great team.....then Penn st for years has poured money into the program and were able to come up with "extra" scholarships for wrestlers allowing them to build up a lot of depth (wrestling only allows 9 scholarships for 10 weight classes).
Once Brands took over he started getting Iowa back....and obviously is back. Now you can go back obsessing on conjuring up attempts to marginalizing Iowa. (I.O.W.A....get a life)
Aint nobody doing "extra" scholarships right now. Not after all the scholarship and admission scandals.
The juice is not worth the squeeze right now, especially for sports that, for the most part, no one cares about.
The rest of you what you said is probably true.
Ha! You know little about your program. How did you hire the wrong coach? The psycho Brands has been your coach for 14 years. He won 3 titles right off the bat, but then the cerebral Sanderson came in and ate his lunch for the next 8 out of 10 years. Zalesky won 3 titles after Gable. Penn State was not good Sanderson's first year. They finished 9th. I've seen the tweets from your fans. The title is bittersweet with so many fails in championship matches. That does not sit well. Have a look at Penn State's roster. Loaded with Fresh, RFrosh, Soph and a few juniors. I suspect they're about to go on a tear again. Sanderson > the GOAT, Gable.

Almost 100% full of ****. Wrestling is not a headcount sport. So even with 9.9 scholarships, you can give 50% scholarships to nearly 20 wrestlers. Because it’s not a headcount sport, academic scholarships and other scholarshipsCan be used to offset the cost of tuition and fees or room and board.
So not only did he have the wrestling part wrong he also had the scholarship part wrong
If Iowa returns all their AAs (which seems likely) they will be clear favorites to repeat. Iowa has more depth right now and Lee is a bonus point machine.
