Iowa State wrestling coach Cael Sanderson must receive permission from athletic director Jamie Pollard if he plans to assume a similar position at a Division I university in Iowa or the Big 12 Conference, according to his contract released today.

Sanderson, who replaced Bobby Douglas on Jan. 3, signed a five-year deal worth a guaranteed $110,000 a year, excluding incentives. The deal expires on June 30, 2011.

Financial incentives include $10,000 for winning the national championship, $5,000 for winning the conference championship, $1,000 for each NCAA qualifier and $500 for each conference champion.

The Cyclones had five NCAA qualifiers and three conference champions last season.
