ESPN to televise NCAA Wrestling semifinals live!

ESPN will now provide primetime coverage of both the semis and finals. Not ESPN3 or ESPNU or some other lower brand. On the Worldwide Leader. Primetime. 2 nights. Wow.

And they are expanding overall event coverage, to include every mat in every session, and bringing nearly 2 dozen announcers. So every session will be televised on ESPN, ESPN3, and/or ESPNU.

Also, every match in the entire tournament will be streamed, so online viewers can watch every match. Viewers can set up quad screens to select up to any 4 of the mats at any given time, and can switch mats at will.

This is awesome news for Penn Staters (since we should have at least 5-6 semifinalists, and could have 8 if things break right). And for mat-heads everywhere.
