Penn State had matches "postponed" with Rutgers, Michigan State, Michigan and now Iowa.  It would be nice for them to pick up some matches and get on the mat

 

Rumor mill says it won't happen. Listening to Willie Saylor's podcast today he says sources tell him PSU vs Michigan and MSU this weekend won't happen. No idea the quality of these sources nor did Willie state a reason.

With all the cancelations trying to fairly seed Big 10 is going to be a nightmare.  Glad the conference at least get a ton of entries into NCAAs to help with a few guys that get the shorted on their seeding.

Just speculating but I think some schools are getting nervous about how close the cut off period is in order to be back for Big10s if you do end up quarantined due to contact tracing. Sat someone over the course of this final weekend passes along Covid to a member of your roster/staff.  Then that person starts feeling bad in the middle of the week and is tests near the end of next week.  Due to the contact you had with them mid-week the starters may end up getting hit with a quarantine time period that isn’t over until the second day of Big10s. Thus you are out of the conference tournament.  With the Big10 tournament results being your best avenue for a good NCAA seed and for other the best possibility of even qualifying for NCAAs, I’m guessing some teams are at least considering more shut down some or even most of their starters as conference from this final week of outside competition.

Good speculation. 

With a 17 day individual quarantine imposed by the Big 10 we are just 5 days from the point where a new positive can return in time for the conference tournament.
