Maybe this Is this how they are going to schedule this year. Set up one event, see how things are going and proceed to the next weeks schedule.
Schedule
- Thread starter Slambamham
- Start date
Tough schedule for University of Iowa. As we would want it to be. If everyone stays healthy ($^÷&>#?), some exciting, challenging matches. ANF.
Can't complain too much. If they can't wrestle them all then at least they got Penn State, Michigan, Ohio State, Nebraska, and Minnesota.
Heard from a good source that Nebraska has no interest in wrestling in Nebraska.
Only if it’s JV/V setup; none of this sitting starters for the second dual of the Tri
You have to have guys get matches. If Nelson/Assad is the starter all year and 2 days before big tens tests positive for covid the other has to have matches to be ready to go.
Yes, whatever seats you had last season are still yours for the 21-22 season if you want them.
There are barely enough matches for starters as it is. No freaking sitting unless a couple guys are close, like 184. Other conferences are adding on exhibition/B team matches to get guys mat time because the schedule is short and there aren’t really any opens.
Let me guess...the B1G probably isn’t allowing this.
Backups getting matches would be good, but they can't take matches away from starters with so few duals. An A/B dual meet would be great, but makes way too much sense for the B10 to allow 🙄. The schedule looks good. Please start and finish a season. We are way too talented to waste another year and I may come unglued if they lose another shot at an NCAA title!
Thanks. Not sure what happened there between them. Maybe not profitable for flo or btn asking too much or both.
Last year’s B1G, if I remember correctly, Maryland didn’t even score a team point.
so I paid for 6 seats.... they’re just going to consider next years tickets paid for? I’d call the Ticket office if it was open.... that sounds like the best plan to me though
The University of Iowa thanks you for the generous donation to the athletic department in these trying times.
Does it make any sense to have what amounts to JV matches at these meets?
Guys really do need more live action matches than what these few dates will provide be imo.
With the new schedule I am counting 12-13 matches. If a wrestler he ts Covid there is a real danger their season is over, especially if they can’t wrestle at the BT. It would be sensible to loosen qualification metrics.
There is probably going to be more complaining about seeding this year than ever before.

You don’t need to wrestle at big 10 to qualify for nationals this year. If it’s Covid related and the team does not send a replacement to big tens, you can qualify as a wild card for nationals.
I believe that is one of the exemptions to missing B1G. For example, Max Murin gets Covid a week before B1G. Iowa cannot wrestle someone else in his place at B1G so Murin would still be eligible for an at large.
I would concur with the at large bids. If circumstances warrant, let’s hope there are more at large bids this year.
While not competing at BT doesn't keep you from NCAA’s, not wrestling at BT is going to be detrimental to your seed. If wrestlers have Covid they won’t be able to step on the mat and default, as if it was an injury.
This is a moving target for sure and will make for good conversation in the future. The downside is the trolls will be out in full force.

Look at our lineup. Someone would have to fall flat on their face to not get an at large in any scenario. Not happening. It’s a fringe wrestler issue not an Iowa issue.
