Michigan was the story of the Big Ten Wrestling Championships, beating out Penn State and Iowa for the title. But the elephant in the room was all the medical forfeits. The Gazette's K.J. Pilcher and Hall of Fame coach Dick Briggs discuss what happened and what, if anything, can be done about it on this episode of the Pinning Combination, a show about all things wrestling in Iowa.

They also discuss takeaways from Iowa's performance in Nebraska, plus Iowa State and UNI at the Big 12 tournament. Then, a preview of this weekend's NCAA Division III Championships in Cedar Rapids.
