Well isn't that nifty.


I hope that's not completely the case

When I 1st read about the Big 10's being the host site for all matches I was very confused. Why would all the non Big 10 schools agree to this?

Then I heard Dresser explain the whole "BCS BOWL" type concept and using the Big 10 schools as host sites to get additional exposure for the sport on BTN. At the time I thought ok, that makes sense.

Now, that doesn't appear to be the case exactly. Non wrestling fans aren't going to pay to watch these matches on the internet. Yes, they can watch the "Championship" on BTN...... but .....that was already the case the last few years. How exactly does this help grow the sport?

Seems to me like Cael refused to be part of the NWCA concept for several years. NWCA went to Cael and said, OK what would will you do?... and here we are.
