I don't think Blanc took this job for the money. Think that most top assistants in the top 20 will be making more than what Blanc was offered. The coaches of the wrestling clubs at the top programs are going to be making more than Blanc.

There is no doubt NDSU made the right hire, the improvement in the program since Blanc came has been noticeable.
