Legends Classic

[GoZips]

The so called Legends Classic is rigged. Win or lose, the four high majors, (Pitt, Texas Tech, Washington State, Mississippi State) will meet at the Palisades in Newark, NJ November 28-29 for a four team tournament to determine the "chumpionship".This means that if Drexel or Akron upset their high major they still do not get to make the trip to Newark. The four mid majors (Akron, Drexel, Fairleigh Dickinson, Eastern Kentucky) will play two games each at the FDU campus in Teaneck, NJ. It has already been determined that Akron will face FDU and EKU. The Zips do not even get a shot atDrexel of the Colonial Association (same conference as VCU).Basically, its a sham.

That sucks. I guess we'll have no choice but to beat all the teams we face in the tournament. It's the only way we would have any leverage to complain.

Does the lack of an official announcement mean the hoops-scheduling Fat Lady has yet to sing?

I guess the flip side is that you are guaranteed four games unlike a couple years ago when Akron lost to UALR and the tourney for them was over with that game. Still, I'd prefer something like what we had last year in Alaska or a few years back in Puerto Rico.
