Unbelievable. Hollis continues to live up to his billing as best AD in the NCAA.

Hollis issued a statement late Monday night to ESPN.com saying, "During Coach Izzo's outreach trips to visit and coach our troops overseas, along with our recent experience in San Diego aboard the USS Carl Vinson, we have all developed deep admiration and respect for the men and women that serve in our armed forces. Those troops, many the same age as our student-athletes, protect the freedom that we enjoy every day. It is our responsibility to give reflection and support to these men and women that currently serve and have served in the past. As such, we appreciate the consideration by the Department of Defense to allow NCAA competition to be a reflection of the support our entire nation feels for our troops.''

Being a vet myself and a current student at State, I take an extra amount of pride in the fact that my school is pioneering these events for current military members. I don't think it can be said enough how much it means for our service members when these type of events take place. Way to go Mr. Hollis and Coach Izzo. So proud to be a Go Green!

Seems like another pretty big event, I would assume ESPN or BTN would figure out a way to televise it here in the states. Maybe not as big as NFL game in London, but they air that here

It will be on ESPN. ESPN was involved in the negotiations.

No Lamb or Drummond plus the ruling banning them from the tourney couldn't have helped. It doesn't look like they add much.

Seems like we should be able to. It would be cool if they made a special trophy for this event and we are actually able to bring one back to EL.

Maybe coach and Hollis will arrange some study halls over there so our student athletes can help raise the GPA of the Huskies. They need all the help they can get.

I love how Hollis and Izzo work so hard to include our military men and women in our athletic events.
