Yesterday, the Atlantic 10 announced that the championship game of this year's Atlantic 10 Tournament will be televised by CBS College Sports. The championship game was also televised back in 2008 when the tournament was also held at Charlotte. It does appear that the championship game will actually be televised live instead of on tape delay.
Now my thoughts...
Well it's about time for the A10 to be on some sort of television. This CBS College Sports contract that the A10 signed a few years ago has been an absolute dud, especially for softball. Just two softball games have been televised and I find that very disappointing. Last year the Atlantic 10 had the top two pitchers in the country in terms of strikeouts, but did not have a single game televised. Both the SWAC and MEAC had more games televised. Now no offense to those conferences, but they do not have the same level of play as the Atlantic 10. Not to mention those games were on ESPNU as opposed to CBS College Sports. ESPNU is a much better platform for national exposure than CBS College Sports. For the A10's next contract they need to get games on ESPNU and ESPN3
