Legends Classic

So first, I'm assuming we are one of the host schools? And second, I wonder how the tickets are going to be handled. I'm assuming since it's a tournament students would have to pay to go?

Someone please explain to me how in the hell you have 2 opening round games on home floors with 8 teams and still have 4 teams go to a semifinal and final on a neutral court. Play 2 games against inferior opponents and even of there is an upset, the team with greater margin of point spread goes to the semis?

Please someone help me with this.

Texas will play Team A & Team B
TBA will play Team B & Team C
Tennessee will play Team A & Team D
West Virginia will play Team C & Team D

Then
TBA, Texas, Tennessee & West Virgina will travel to New York for games against each other

Team A beats Texas and loses to Tennesssee.
Team B beats TBA and loses to Texas.
Team C beats West Virginia and loses to TBA.
Team D beats Tennessee and loses to West Virginia.

I guess what I'm looking for here is maybe I missed the part where the 4 majors get an auto to NYC. Just doesn't seem to make any sense to me.

I hope TBA is an ACC or a Big ten school.

I'd be very surprised if the fourth team isn't from one of those leagues. I can't see a PAC 10 team being fired up about a trip to Newark and the other major conferences are already represented.

Florida and Kansas were in a similar event last season that ended with the four host schools playing in Las Vegas. It took me a bit to realize it wasn't a tournament. It had seemed odd that all four opponents were known before the "invitational" started.

I don't understand what the purpose of the first two games is. Perhaps it gets the smaller schools trips to play the big boys that are covered by the tournament host/sponsor instead of UT paying them to come.

By calling it a tournament, it allows you to play three games and only have them counted as 1 towards your total number for purposes of the NCAA maximum for regular season games.
