The CIAA Basketball Tournament is coming to the ESPN platform. HBCU basketball’s most famous tournament will join the worldwide leader starting this winter.

Finally.  Hopefully the next step the conference can take is mandating some form of standard for the basketball and football game feeds from each school.  Some schools do a good job, but some of the schools have camera operates that will either cause you to miss the action or mess around and give you motion sickness.

There is a good and a bad with this IMHO.  The CIAA tournament is in transition and if your fans don't show as they used to it could be a negative. CIAA tourney wasn't about the basketball IMHO but the glitz and celebrities around it.  When the Tourney was still in the triangle and my buddies were trying to get me to go they never mentioned basketball, all they talked about was me coming to see the Woo Woos.  The halftime cheerleader competition was as big a draw as the games.  Also, the vendor court was spectacular.  Mr. CIAA (is he still alive?) walking around the arena constantly changing his wardrobe was also a big hit.  So if all of the pageantries are missing you might be back on Aspire before you know it. :shrug:

i dunno, will attendance be the same in "baltimore"?  baltimore's weather is usually "cold as hail" during the ciaa tournament dates and hotel costs are more expensive.  it'll be interesting see if as many folk show up in baltimore as they did in north carolina...
