Does Thompson get to play in the CBI since this technically isn't part of the NCAA or official college season?

I'm pretty sure the answer to this is no. I don't know why CBI games wouldn't be considered part of the "official college season." They are not exhibition games.Originally posted by jasonpeoria911 View PostComment

As I understand it, they have to guarantee a gate of $60,000 to the CBI, but BU would expect to make that and more, if they can sell tix for average $15 and draw 8000, then they'd easily make $120,000, plus TV revenue, etc.Originally posted by cpacmel View Post

He could play, but he'd forfeit the entire 2007-2008 season and get to play only one game possibly.
... and it would count as his freshman year, thus when he starts next fall, he'd be a sophomore with only 3 years remaining. Not exactly a good idea.Comment

Sounds a bit confusing as to the various "contracts" that were signed by different teams. You have Bradley forfeiting the NIT (not that they had a chance anyway) by committing to the CBI, you have Houston already officially invited to the CBI, and then you have Virginia who's still in the running for both! Who's kidding who here?!Comment

As tornado said, there is no payment needed, just a guarantee of a minimum gate receipt. I would assume that the agreement Bradley made with the CBI did accept this guarantee.Originally posted by cpacmel View PostComment

I think this is great. I've already blocked out Wednesday hoping that the game will be on BUBraves.comComment

I have also talked to someone involved with the Comcast broadcasts. They do not know if they will be able to do the telecast, but they are on standby in case it can be arranged. It would seem more likely they would telecast it if it was a road game, less likely if it's a home game, but still a possibility. We will know more tonight, and tomorrow.Comment

Hopefully we'll get an 8 PM tip and hopefully a game on FCS.Onward and Upward!

I like the fact that we are playing some more games, but I am still not thrilled about this whole CBI thing.Bradley 72 - Illini 68 Final
???It??™s awful hard,??™??™ said Illini freshman guard D.J. Richardson, the former Central High School guard who played prep school ball a few miles from here and fought back tears outside the locker room. ???It??™s a hometown thing. It??™s bragging rights.??™Comment

If Illinois loses today and get invited to play in this CBI tour. then this tour. is a farce as you cannot give invitations to teams with a losing record and expect fans to believe that this is a good tour.; only teams with winning records deserve to play post-season unless you are able to win your conference tour. and get the automatic bid ; if they invite teams that have losing records then it is more about the money period.Comment
