The American University Department of Athletics announced today
that the Eagles will host two regular season games in front of a
national television audience during the 2009-2010 season. The final
two weeks of Patriot League play will include a ‘flex' game
package, providing the possibility for American to add two more
regular season games to the CBS College Sports package.
"We are excited to play these games on CBS College," American
University Head Coach Jeff
Jones commented. "This is a great opportunity to keep
our out-of-area fans connected with the program and to create a
big-game atmosphere for fans inside Bender Arena."
American's first contest on CBS College Sports will take place on
Sunday, January 17, against Colgate at 2 p.m. The Eagles have won
10 straight games against the Raiders, including a 52-46 victory in
the 2008 Patriot League Championship Game. American will also host
Bucknell as part of the broadcast schedule on Thursday, February
11, at 7 p.m.
The CBS College Sports broadcast schedule also includes a
‘flex' game package with options for the Eagles' February
21st game at Holy Cross and February 27th game against Lafayette in
Bender.
American's television appearances are part of an agreement
announced Wednesday between the Patriot League and CBS College
Sports. A total of 10 Patriot League men's and women's games will
be broadcast on the network, including two Patriot League Men's
Basketball Tournament contests.
CBS College Sports Network is available across the country
through local cable operators and via satellite on DIRECTV Channel
613 and Dish Network Channel 152. For more information on how
to get CBS College Sports Network, click here.
American's first regular season game is at St. Francis (Pa.) on
Friday, November 13. American will open its home schedule on
Monday, November 16, when it welcomes Albany into Bender Arena for
a 7:30 p.m. tip. Before the game, the Eagles will celebrate their
2009 Patriot League Championship and NCAA Tournament appearance.
The first 2,500 fans in attendance will receive a free
commemorative replica banner courtesy of GEICO.
