Re: Big Ten coverage of wrestling?
There are two women basketball games on during that time. And like the other thread says. Wrestling takes a back seat, unfortunately even to womens bball.

I hear ya Hunter! But living out here in NC I'm just happy to see IOWA Wrestling on the BTN no matter when they show it.

Re: Big Ten coverage of wrestling?
We just need to show the BTN that there is an audience for wrestling. This means larger attendances and more interest in the sport. There was a nice effort to get the Iowa/PSU meet to show tape delay same day instead of having to wait a couple of days.

It will take efforts like this to accomplish this. The support needs to come from more than just Iowa fans. It needs to be a concerted effort by fans of other teams as well.

No because 99% of OSU fans don't give a crap about wrestling.

Fuf may be an as$, but he is right. The wrestling fan base is so small that about 95% of sports fans dont care about it. Thats why when we have attendance numbers of 8,000 its considered great.

Be glad you get you see the match at all. Without the BTN you wouldn't be watching at all.

Don't be happy with what we have now. If you want more wrestling, get more people interested in the sport.

Re: Big Ten coverage of wrestling?
My complaint is not the coverage but why the hell do they need an intermission on TV, when the match is tape delayed? My DVR missed the HWT match because of this bullsh$t. Intermission is bad enough to sit through in person, edit it out of the tape delay!

Re: Big Ten coverage of wrestling?
I agree. I forced myself to go all day on the Sundays that we wrestled Minn or PSU so that I could watch the meet "live".
