Big Ten Wrestling Tournament Preview

Is Nebraska good at wrestling? Yes. Unfortunately, they’re in the Big Ten and this conference is crazy good.

The Big Ten Wrestling Tournament is in Minneapolis at the University of Minnesota this weekend. I have never covered wrestling before. I have never shot a wrestling tournament. This weekend will be a whole new experience for me. I understand wrestling to a degree. Both of my older brothers were Nebraska state champs in wrestling. I never got the chance. Our town had a new high school by the time I came around, and we didn’t have wrestling. I was told people who were in charge thought it would ruin the basketball program.

Our head football coach at the time was interesting in wrestling for some reason, and tried to teach me. I got into a couple wrestling meets – I believe I was in eighth grade at the time. I was quickly destroyed, but I enjoyed what little experience I had. I went on to attempt basketball, but quit after my sophomore year because I was pretty awful. For the next two years, I caused mayhem during basketball season. That’s what happens when you don’t offer youth sports programs – crime waves and chaos caused by bored children.

The Big Ten is by far the most dominant conference in wrestling. The Top Ten teams in the country are as follows:
