You should be able to hear OK St coverage here:

we'll soon see.

Penn State probably has a stream available for their wrestling radio.

 On Flo:  "Flosports is experiencing technical difficulties, please try later."

Terrible.  I hate FLO.


I am listening to match through Penn State announcers here:

FLO's website is giving "500 gateway error."

Their ROKU service has gone haywire; alternately prompting to buy the event, or giving error messages.   What a garbage service, they obviously oversold the event and can't deliver.  No refund, of course.

Well, at least Penn State radio is colorful.

If there was ever a chance for Track to pounce on Flo, this is it. I've never been a fan of Flo for live events, and this only solidifies my opinion.

From my communications with Track last week, my impression is that they are not interested in hosting video.  Maybe I am wrong, but that's my guess.   They want to be strictly middle men.   For instance, the Cornell-Ohio State dual today was produced and hosted by the IVY League Digitial network.
Track doesn't really sell subscriptions for streaming, they collect money for people who operate the events.

Track is interested mostly in providing their event monitoring tools, their database.  Again, I could be wrong.   But it sounds like a smart idea to me.   

ESPN and Big Ten Network have the horsepower to deliver a quality streaming product.

FLO is stuck in 2010.    They are expanding to other uncovered small sports that will put-up with their lousy product because there is no competition.
