How do tickets work to the beauty and beast? How’s the set up etc?
Not sure how they will do it this year , haven’t had it since KJ and at that time we had the curtain. Gymnastics was on the east half for floor , I think vault was along one side. If they move the mat down I hope they adjust seats accordingly.

The wrestler comparisons are a great tool. Can go and see past results against guys really quickly instead of having to dig through multiple websites. The fantasy tool was pretty good too. Their rankings are the weak point
Are their rankings all wonky because they use computer/analytics like kenpom or net in college basketball?

I think they consider all 5 years of a career in rankings. I think if you struggle early in your career, those results hurt for awhile. Think that is what is happening with Sam

Hopefully Schwab takes the high road this year and gets a real ref and not that cheatin homer Gay Wade he used last year
Went to the dual last year and can't remember anything being too bad? Ref saved our ass at 197 is all I remember. Looked like uni had a clean winn Dixie on yonger and they called potentially dangerous

Would like to go but probably won't make it. Very disappointed that it is not on Big12+. The conference needs to get involved there and ensure that all conference matches are on there and not other services.

Unfortunately, affiliate members aren't part of the TV deal. They can do what they like, individually, unless their own primary conference says otherwise. And they can get a lot more money by doing a one-off with FLO or Rokfin than they would from an infinitesimal slice from the Big 12's ESPN+ deal.

I guess I understand that but it is not helping the conference or sport IMO.

It sucks what we have compared to the big 10, they’re basically all on the Big 10 network. They usually put select matches on YouTube afterwards. With the rest of college wrestling, it’s behind a paywall. Kind of sucks

I believe this is the last year of UNI's Flo contract. It's a holdover from the West Gym because the West Gym isn't able to be connected to the control room that runs other ESPN+ broadcasts that's located under the connector between the Dome and McLeod Center.

Literally everything about how the West Gym has been handled had zero foresight or communication so it's not a surprise this wasn't coordinated correctly.

Remember though that these aren’t real Big 12 schools. The solution is to push the rest of the Big 12 to get wrestling. Several athletic departments would easily be able to field competitive programs.

Need to be thankful there is big 12 wrestling at all after Nebraska and Missouri left. The situation was very bleak for a little while.

Regular BTN isn't free either; you've already paid for it through your TV provider.

The majority of their duals are on BTN+, which is a separate subscription cost.
