    Casber set to call Big Ten Championships

    DES MOINES, Iowa -- Following Penn State head coach Cael Sanderson and the University of Nebraska, Takedown Wrestling Media founder and host Scott Casber is the latest to depart from the Big 12 Conference as he’ll serve as the public address announcer for the 2011 Big Ten Championships, set for this weekend at Northwestern University. Casber called the action for the Big 12 Championships for the last 12 seasons and hasn’t called the Big Ten Championships since 1999.

    Casber is a nationally recognized announcer, radio, TV commentator and promoter and his voice has been heard throughout the sports world for over 30 years. He has announced many of wrestling's premier events including the National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) National Duals, the NWCA All Star Classic, the Body Bar Invitational, the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational, the NCAA Championship, the World and Olympic trials and more. In addition to his weekly hosting duties of the nationally syndicated TakeDown Wrestling Radio and TV programs, Casber is also a co-founder of the new USA Wrestling Weekly.

    “I’m thrilled to have an opportunity to call the championship event for one of the best wrestling conferences in the nation,” said Casber. “Several All-Americans and national champions will compete in Evanston this weekend and I can’t wait to be a part of it.”

    Casber serves as the public address announcer for several professional teams in Iowa, including the Iowa Barnstormers of the Arena Football League, the Iowa Energy of the National Basketball Developmental League, and minor league baseball’s Iowa Cubs. He’s also called action for the Des Moines Menace of the developmental soccer league and has announced numerous pay-per-view events for boxing and mixed martial arts. He also enjoys an active career as an actor in film and theater, and volunteers his time entertaining troops on USO tours throughout the Middle East.
