It is disheartening when trying to stream various wrestling events, one has to search all over for the appropriate platform . And they all come with charges.
Flo$ carries a lot of events but certainly not all that are of interest.
The collegiate duals w Cornell vs Oregon State, Iowa State.......Rokfin$
Iowa vs Iowa State ( to see a preview of Cornell's opponent) .......BigTen Network ( I get on cable)
Garden State Scramble ( with Wisconsin vs Penn and Princeton - to see how our other Ivies compare with us against Wisconsin) Bigten+ $
Ivy League wrestling ( outside of the above) ESPN+$
Binghamton had its own feed with the Kaloust Open.$
It is such a patch work mess making a fan say fawgetaboutit.
Usually Flo has the final results of it all at the end of a weekend.

Re: Streaming platforms
I posted Cornell's schedule and how to watch their matches, FWIW.
There is typically a weekly posting on Intermat that lists all the known streamed matches: https://intermatwrestle.com/articles/26313, for instance.

Re: Streaming platforms
I was talking in terms of a wrestling fan's interest in watching the sport - not just Cornell matches. Also in terms of a scouting view. Cornell will be facing Iowa State (possibly Penn State) as well as Penn and Princeton - to see how they shape up with Cornell's common opponent (Wisconsin). See how Lehigh matches up w PSU.klehner wrote: ↑04 Dec 2022, 09:09 I posted Cornell's schedule and how to watch their matches, FWIW.

etc.
Re: Streaming platforms
Do you expect all wrestling content to be hosted in one place? Never going to happen. It doesn't happen for other college sports, does it? If you look around, as I did, you'll find places that aggregate this information (like Intermat, Intermat's forum, Penn State's forum (for PSU matches)), and here where I attempted to put everything Cornell-related in one place.
If you know where to look, you don't have to look "all over."
What is your suggested solution?

Re: Streaming platforms
As long as wrestling is not is not as popular as the major sports, networks and cable channels will not cover it. I gave examples of the great number of platforms that do the streaming . Standardizing all those various platforms under one banner would be helpful - say all go thru Flo. As you point out, there is Intermat, Rokfin, Flo, Bigten. Bigten+ ESPN+. Individual college networks, etc. You do not watch Penn State football thru a Penn State network but thru one of the major networks. In terms of the NFL, there is a one source subscription on tv carriers.
It all has to do with the popularity of a sport and willingness of paid advertisers.
The Ivy League network punted to ESPN+ for wrestling but ESPN+ will not carry the ivies wrestling at the Garden State Grapple.
But it is true , there are other things in life more important than scrounging around for various streaming possibilities.
