A season-long wrestling pass is available for $69.99 on B1G+, BTN's home for non-televised events and on-demand archives.

Big Ten Network veteran wrestling broadcasters Shane Sparks and Jim Gibbons will anchor the Midlands Championships coverage on B1G+. For sessions one and two on Dec. 29, B1G+ will feature 10 individual mat cameras as well whip-around coverage focused on best action at a given moment. On Dec. 30, B1G+ will once again be home to individual mat cameras for both the men's and women's divisions in sessions three and four, along with the whip-around feed.

Individual mat cameras will be available for all four sessions of the Soldier Salute, which begins a new tradition of recognizing and honoring our former, current, and future service members. 100% of the annual tournament proceeds will be split between the United Service Organizations (USO) and a development fund targeted towards the continued growth of high school girls wrestling. As part of its coverage commitment, the Big Ten Network will also make a contribution benefiting both organizations.

Competitors from eight Big Ten men's programs are expected to compete across both tournaments, including several ranked in Intermat's top 30. The list includes No. 2 Iowa, No. 6 Northwestern, No. 8 Minnesota, No. 13 Wisconsin, No. 23 Rutgers, No. 27 Illinois, No. 29 Purdue and Indiana.
