“We are trying to develop the student-athlete experience,” Jordan Bazant, executive vice president of Fox Sports, said Tuesday. “College football has evolved in so many ways. There are no big-name bowl experiences in the basketball program. There are 12 NBA teams coming to this event. If you're in an NCAA tournament or NIT, you can't send someone to every game.
“For our program, this is their first game and the first week of 2025-26. It cleanses you in the year you've had to some degree or offers the next step in the program.”
