I'm not sure if that was meant as a compliment but big 10 wrestling is awesome! I'd say that that MAC wrestling is the sport in which the conference does best as well....now that mizzou is in the MAC, the league is a beast and my favorite MAC sport to watch. One of my best friends wrestled at Central Michigan in the late 90's when they were top 5/10

It absolutely was, the Big 10 is the dominant conference in NCAA Division 1 Wrestling and there is really no disputing that. The MAC though is very solid and wisely allows affiliate members in all sports but football, basketball & baseball. West Virginia strengthens the conference in Soccer and if the Oklahoma University Wrestling HC has his way, Oklahoma, OK ST, Iowa State and West Virginia will be joining MAC Wrestling which would really make it a dynamic wrestling conference. Other affiliate MAC Wrestling programs include Northern Iowa (who has had success in the recent past) and Old Dominion who has been ranked in the top 25 this year.

My Dad is friends with OU's wrestling coach and goes to every meet in Norman and 1 a year at least in Stillwater and Ames.... (I go to bedlam and big 12 tourney every year) Unfortunately for the MAC, OSU's coach and legend John Smith has been on record as saying the Big 12 is trying to get UNI in the Big 12, and Mizzou back in the B12 giving the Big 12 6 wrestling schools.
