MSU @ PSU, Sunday 1pm on BTN+

For the Big Ten + sub. Which is the best way to go? Is there much on it other then Wrestling?

If it's not on regular TV, it's on BTN+. Coverage quality isn't always great but it's there. With the pandemic I've gone "all-in" on PSU sports since there's not much else to do.

The only other sport I really watch is Football and all the Football games on are on TV. So is there anything extra they do for football? I am leaning towards just the getting the wrestling.
 
You can subscribe to BTN+ on a monthly basis. 2 months for all schools, at $14.99 a month, will get you the whole season, $9.95 per month for just one school.

Pretty sure they have a lot of the football replays on demand - In 60, Classics, etc. But you should check first to be certain.
I get the PSU package from Sept-March. Mostly wrestling, hockey, and volleyball. $10 per month.

There's not a sport-only subscription model, AFAIK. You can subscribe to all penn state content for $9.99/mo, or all conference content for $14.99. Things televised on BTN are not available to BTN+ subscribers that don't get BTN until the next day. There is a lot of archived football games and related content available.

Oh, and DGK IS listed alongside Seth, for what it’s worth (which is not much at all).

If you miss a game, or forget to DVR it, you can find nearly any game you want all the way back to Fall 2015.

The earliest wrestling match available is Wisconsin vs PSU (Dec 2015), the earliest football game is Buf vs PSU (Sept 12, 2015)

So, is it possible CStar is one of the potential positive Covid tests as I find it strange that they list Edsall as a potential starter for this match? Also, it is quite funny that they list 5 potential options at 149.

Could be a list of starters along with back-ups they intend to wrestle on the overflow mat. Going to be hard getting all the 149 pounders a match though.

Is there a stip that the four match minimum has to be against guys from other schools? Bouts at open tourneys against teammates have always been “official” so I thought I’d ask.

Sport specific model is a new option this year.

Interesting--I didn't see that when I renitialized my account a couple of weeks ago. At $70/year, that's basically the same cost as the all sports and schools option for Nov-March (a typical wrestling season).

See link. You can check out the schedule even without a subscription. Any event at a BIG school that isn't on BTN is pretty much on BTN+. Also, events are archived so you can go back and watch previous events. A quick check show you can see wrestling all the way back to the 2015-16 season. Coverage of any individual event can be spotty as the Communications students at the host school provide the coverage. Sometimes it is great and sometimes not so much.

The only benefit to the wrestling package that I can see is you would have access to the archives year round. If you don't care about that, definitely do the month-by-month thing. You can get this whole season (2 months) for just 30 bucks (all schools, monthly plan) and then see what the schedule looks like next year. I will say the package starts the day you sign up so if you aren't planning to use it in advance just sign up on the first dual you want to watch. Same for every package to get you a couple extra days.

I am a long time subscriber so I don;t know that this is true so a new subscriber would need to confirm. I think if you sign up even for just this month the archives are all available to you.

As we all know, sometimes the student coverage is pretty entertaining, especially the ones that don't follow wrestling.
 
Unlike previous years, there are some interesting matchups:

125: Howard vs. Foley. Presuming Howard goes, heckuva college debut. Gonna find out about him in a hurry.

157: Berge vs. Saldate. Saldate will be a force in college. Last week he lost to Brayton Lee (who beat Sasso last year) 5-4.

165: Lee vs. Tucker. Good first varsity match. Lee should win; bonus would be a good sign.

197: Beard vs. Caffey. Beard winning would be big.

Correct. For the month you are subscribed you have access to the all the archives, even previous seasons I believe. I was just saying that if you don't see yourself watching the archives over the summer for example then there are probably better options.
