From the NCAA article:

“It’s the best thing that could happen for our sport,” said Crutchmer, who missed last season’s meet at State College due to injury. “There will be a lot of viewers, even people who don’t watch wrestling or might not know much about it. This will be a good one to watch."'

Unfortunately I don't know many people who don't watch wrestling or not know much about it...that will fork over the $20 to watch on Flo....presuming they even know Flo exists

So there won't be "a lot" of viewers. That's a shame because it will be a good one to watch.
