Yesterday The Open Mat broke the story that Pat Downey had been dismissed from the ISU Wrestling team. The news came from Kevin Jackson, but it isn’t clear whether the dismissal was by Jackson or acting head coach Travis Paulson. Iowa State hasn’t made any further comment on the news, but Downey has been quite active on social media as usual. He started by claiming he found out himself via Twitter.
And with his traditional lack of self awareness, Downey admitted he broke team rules while already serving a suspension until the postseason.
had 2 break rules to do what was best for ME.
