According to sources and reported by James Kratch of nj.com, Rutgers will be the host school for the Big Ten Wrestling Championships in two years.
The last time - and, as far as we can determine, only time - Rutgers hosted a wrestling tournament was the 2013 EIWA Championships at the RAC.
Rutgers has been an attendance leader over the last several years, this year averaging over 5,000 and hosting a sellout for the Penn State match. The Big Ten liked Madison Square Garden’s environment so why not bring another big event east.
Traditionally the Big Ten uses four mats for the championships; at the EIWA - if I recall correctly - there were only three in use.
