A10 Tournament format changed from 2010 on/plus with CBS

Postby RONALD78 » Wed Nov 26, 2008 4:39 pm

CBS now has the rights to the A10 Tourney starting in 2010,next year. As far as I know all games will be televised. The 4 best teams will sit out the first day ,which will be a Wednesday, while 8 teams play. The 8 teams will play at 4 schools home courts(obviously for tickets sales etc) and certainly not the courts of the worse 4 in the league. Those 4 winners and the 4 best teams move on to Atlantic City and play on Friday(so Thursday is a travel day). The 4 games on Friday and the 2 games on Saturday and the final game on SUNDAY will all be televised. The A10 Championship game will now be on Sunday with the so called BCS Conferences,ie SEC, ACC, Big 10 etc. Looks like the new A10 commish is working hard to improve TV and exposure

The press release said the on campus games will be on Tuesday, not Wed. Also it said the site for the Friday, Sat.,
Sunday tourney will be established till this winter. It did not say what the TV coverage would be for Friday and Saturday.

I'm not sure where you got your info but its not in sync with the press release.
