Tony Erlsand on the promotion of wrestling and Purdue's seniors – AA17

Purdue head coach Tony Ersland and the crew talk about the importance of the college wrestling’s increased national TV and streaming exposure via the BTN and FloWrestling this year, and what it could mean for the sport moving forward.

Ersland goes into his involvement with some NCAA committees, the proposals to transition wrestling to a one-semester sport and the potential of an NCAA Dual Championship.

The fellas also discuss the Boilermakers' dual against Nebraska last Friday night and preview this weekend's regular season finale at Illinois. They talk through the importance that the three-man senior class of Christian Brunner, Nate Limmex and Dylan Lydy has made in Purdue's rising national profile this season, and dive into everything the trio has accomplished and are yet to accomplish in 2020.
