OSU Athletic Director Mike Holder Discusses the Benefits (and Costs) of ESPN+

A few months ago I interviewed OSU athletic director Mike Holder on the plans he has for a new wrestling practice facility outside Gallagher-Iba Arena.

Most of the interview revolved around that topic, but I was curious about his thoughts on the ESPN+ deal with the Big 12 and OSU. Specifically because one of the main sports it impacts is wrestling. In recent years OSU has had a wrestling rights agreement with Flo, and now that agreement is with ESPN+.

Now that much of the fan base has become more aware of this deal as OSU will play Kansas State on Saturday on the platform, I thought it would be relevant to share some of Holder’s comments.
