Fellow Wrestling Fans,
The long off-season feels like it is over now with the publishing of the long-anticipated 2019-20 schedule!!
So that folks do not panic this year and send poor Roar Lion on a rescue mission to find me, I thought I would get this season's initial post out early, even though I will need to do several updates as most of the media deals have not been made public. (That should not surprise us given the schedule has only just come out )
Punchline first, below is the link to this year's spreadsheet on video & audio streaming opportunities. I have also combined in a second tab the six-year rotation schedule for easy access:

Now with that said, there are a few big changes already known as some of you may have discovered in following Lion Football.
1. The former BTN2Go link/app that used to provide access to both live/replay BTN events & BTN+ subscription events has changed.
2. BTN Live & Replays are now only available at FoxSports.com or the FoxSports App. As in past years, you will need to have BTN on your current cable subscription/sports package and use that ID & Password when logging into FoxSports.
3. BTN+ remains the subscription service of BTN and is now found at BTNplus.com and the BTN+ App (formerly known as BTN2Go). At this point in time I do not know how these changes may or may not have effected the BTN+ & FloPro relationship. Hopefully Flo or B1G will make that clearer as we get closer.
4. Lehigh I would expect will be on the Patriot League Network (PLN) via the WatchStadium.com or Stadium app. In the past this was free, but that was two years ago.
5. We also have ASU on the schedule this year, and I anticipate the PAC-12 network to cover this. PAC-12 Networks (plural since each school seems to have one) works similarly to the B1G network in that if you have it included in your existing cable/sports package extra, you should have access to this via PAC-12.com or PAC-12 Now App.
6. The tournament at West Point has not had an arrangement announced, I am assuming it could be either FloPro or ESPN+, but we'll have to wait. (While Army is covered by PLN, I do not expect that they will run an all day tournament)
So it is early with a lot of questions... but if I have reduced any of your anxieties or concerns over my long off-season hibernation & absence than I am contented.
More to come as more is known.
WE ARE.....
