Hints that enlarged B1G may cause less wrestling on BTN

[Tom McAndrew]

it's hard to know for sure, but a recent interview with Francois McGillicuddy, of BTN, seems to hint at more wrestling being on BTN+ than on BTN in the coming season, due to the expansion to 18 teams.

Well this bites. I very much enjoy those Friday night double headers whether Penn State is wrestling or not. Fingers crossed. Figure it out Big Ten.

The BTN has overflow channels when needed if there are two football games being played on the network at the same time. Why can't they do the same if there is wrestling and volleyball at the same time? Maybe it has something to do with the details of media deals. Also, if they start doing that they'll decrease the value of BTN+. It is what it is.

It appears that the apprehension was unwarranted.
