The Big Ten released conference schedules for the upcoming wrestling season. The Hawks will host four Big Ten duals starting with Illinois on Friday, January 6. Iowa will also host Northwestern, Nebraska, and Michigan. 

The Hawks will be on the road against Purdue, Wisconsin, Penn State, and Minnesota. As a fan I would like to see more Big Ten duals. Iowa and Ohio State should be competing every year.

You can count on the Iowa-Iowa State dual meet to take place in legendary Carver-Hawkeye Arena this season probably in December.

Iowa will have a strong team led by Spencer Lee who will be looking to capture his fourth NCAA title. Iowa was ranked #2 in the preseason rankings released by InterMat on July 27.
