On Sunday, March 7, competition kicks off with individual mat cameras for session 3 on Big Ten Network+ at noon ET, ahead of the main event. From 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday, BTN will deliver three hours of the most exciting wrestling in the country as champions are crowned in session 4.
"From the 125-pounders to heavyweights, the Big Ten Conference consistently delivers the best wrestling in the nation," said Michael Calderon, BTN's senior vice president of digital media and programming. "The Big Ten Network is the go-to destination for college wrestling fans and this weekend's coverage across both our television and digital platforms demonstrates our strong commitment to the sport."
Big Ten Network veterans Shane Sparks, Jim Gibbons and Tim Johnson will anchor the broadcasts from BTN?s Chicago studio. Guest analyst and three-time Big Ten and NCAA Champion, Bo Nickal, will join reporter Ray Flores on-site for insight and analysis from State College.
In preparation for the Big Ten Wrestling Championships, a special 90-minute edition of Wrestling in 60, highlighting 10 of the top matches from the regular season, will air at 3:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday, March 2.
