The Big Ten Conference released its 2021-22 wrestling schedule Wednesday, and as you’d expect in the Big Ten, Nebraska will have to run through a real gauntlet.

My Quick Takeaways
- Between Iowa, Penn State, Michigan and Minnesota, Nebraska will face off against last year’s top four Big Ten teams.
- Nebraska will face a brutal back half of its schedule, as it faces the Big Ten’s three best teams in a 16-day span in February. The Huskers get Michigan and Iowa at home but will go on the road to face Penn State.
- Nebraska will not face Ohio State, Rutgers, Michigan State and Maryland in a conference dual. Ohio State and Rutgers generally have a solid squad. Michigan State has some solid wrestlers, but Maryland is the bottom-feeder of the Big Ten.
