Schedules for Big Ten teams, including a weekly composite conference schedule

Due to the challenges caused by the pandemic, most NCAA Div. I programs will begin competition in January. The schedules are mostly dual meets, with a majority of their matches against conference rivals. With that in mind, TheMat.com will post all of the Div. I schedules by conference, including a composite schedule broken down by week.

The Big Ten was very late in dropping its schedules, which were released earlier today. The first announcement on the Big Ten schedules came in a tweet from Christian Pyles of Flowrestling, who put out a chart which showed the entire schedule for all teams. In the next few hours, Big Ten teams began releasing their schedule, and all of the ones released so far matched the chart which Pyles shared with the wrestling community.

The 14 Big Ten teams will only face other conference opponents; there will be no non-conference dual meets. Each of the Big Ten teams will compete in nine dual meets. Most of the duals are single dual meets, although each team has one or two tri-meets. There will be one quad dual scheduled, on Feb. 6 at Indiana, where Nebraska, Rutgers and Michigan State come to town and everybody gets three dual meets.

Returning Big Ten champion Iowa will have a strong schedule, facing the next eight teams from the 2020 Big Ten Championships standings in dual meets in 2021. Iowa will host second place Nebraska, face third place Ohio State at Purdue, and will travel to fourth place Penn State.

The final week of competition will be the week of Feb. 19-21. There will be a wealth of big-time matchups during the seven weeks of Big Ten dual meet action.

The Big Ten Championships will be hosted by Penn State, March 6-7.

At this time, the Big Ten Network has not yet published its wrestling schedule, which we will post when it is announced.
