Just how extensive and how many quality teams could BYU get out of Mohegan Sun..

... Tourney/Bubble?

Per the article:

Rick Giles, the president of the Gazelle Group, said that they are still finalizing plans for some games, but they expect about 35 teams from more than a dozen conferences will participate at what they are dubbing "Bubbleville'' between Nov. 25 and Dec. 5, with up to seven games per day.

There will be at least nine "pods'' of games, beginning with the Empire Classic on Nov. 25-26, which will include Villanova, Baylor, Arizona State and Boston College.

UConn, USC, Virginia, Florida, St. John's, UMass, Vanderbilt, BYU, Louisville, North Carolina State and other men's and women's programs also have agreed to play, organizers said.

Officials from Gazelle and the Hall of Fame were meeting Friday with casino officials to finalize some of the details.

BYU seems slopped in there not just with the teams we're listed as playing in the Legends (UConn, USC, and/or Vandy, right?) but Virrgina, Louisville type teams too?!?!?!

Maybe these are all just small individual tournaments/pods, and we'll only end up playing those listed in the Legends, but it looks like things may be developing into more than that over a 2 week bubble.

Here's to hoping...

Thoughts or clarifications?
