In past both BTN & ACCN viewed wrestling as something 2 schedule evenly.


Looked like both networks goals were to just schedule each team at least 1 appearance on the network, and beyond that they didn't really care.

Starting last year and even more so this year, BTN has dropped that philosophy and aired more matchups that draw ratings. I believe Iowa has been on BTN 3 times the last 2 weeks and will be back on Friday night. Minnesota (Gable Steveson) has also been on BTN 3 times this year.

Can't exactly say the ACCN has made the same change, but at least last year they listened to Rock by adding NC State vs VT.

Hopefully, they will also start adding of conference duals like Rock mentioned. Seems like tOSU vs VT this year certainly would have been a good one to show ACCN the viewership potential of drawing in Big 10 fans.
