any idea if anyone will pick up the ISU/Iowa dual this year.. I know its not gonna be nearly as good as years past, but i dont remember the last time it wasnt on tv somewhere... Doesnt look like BTN is picking it up? Is IPTV doing wrestling this year?
 
It isn't on the IPTV schedule. My guess would be the BTN digital network if anything at all.
 
IPTV hasn't even released a schedule.

Since ISU is doing home duals on Cyclones.TV, and Iowa home duals are "owned" by BTN/BTN.com, IPTV is going to be hurting for content this year.

That said, BTN has previously allowed IPTV to show ISU/Iowa in Iowa City, with BTN graphics. It's the one time per year that IPTV can use wrestling to beg for money, and they're not going to want to lose that opportunity.
 
IPTV hasn't released their wrestling schedule but if you go to their programming guide it is out to the day of the meet and has other stuff listed.
 
Tom Brands had an interview yesterday and TV coverage was brought up. He said that everyone assumed the BTN would cover the dual and it is not. So at the last minute there are scrambles taking place to get the dual on tv. I would assume that would include IPTV.
