Duke Reaction to New NCAA Tournament TV Deal
4/22/2010 5:00:00 PM | Men's Basketball
Duke Vice President & Director of Athletics Kevin White
"This negotiation represents a giant success, and unequivocally ensures long-term financial stability for the membership. Again, considering our current financial environment, this deal provides an absolutely huge financial commitment to support 88 championships, and well over 400,000 student-athletes, across the entire country. Indeed, this is a great day for college athletics; and also a wonderful moment for more than 1,000 NCAA member institutions."
Duke Head Basketball Coach Mike Krzyzewski
"[NCAA Interim President] Jim Isch, [NCAA Senior Vice President] Greg Shaheen and the leadership of the NCAA ought to be commended for its outstanding work on securing the television rights to the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament for the next 14 years. Given the state of the economy, procuring a deal of this magnitude to assist in the funding and operation of all 88 NCAA Championship events is tremendous. This is a win for all of college athletics and the positive impact of this deal will be felt for years to come.
"For college basketball specifically, the value of the tournament has never been greater, which is a testament to the strength of the sport. With the addition of three more teams to the field, the basic structure of the tournament will not be impacted significantly in the foreseeable future. As a coach, I am very pleased with this result and look forward to working with the NCAA and its television partners in the years ahead."
