The series will feature Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, and Michigan State and will be played in 3 different venues starting with MSG next year.

I really like this idea. I like the big-name matchups early on to see where teams are at to start the season.

They would never match up Carolina and dook in an out of conference game, Roy refuses to play Kansas unless it happens in the NCAAs, and the Heels already play UK every season. I'd say those are some of the reasons why Carolina wasn't included in this.

I know, I know.

But to call something "Champions....." and not have Carolina included is a joke.

Same could be said for UCLA, although they have been down a little bit as of late. Maybe ESPN will expand the idea and teams play in groups of 4. Carolina, UCLA, Ohio State, and UCONN wouldn't be horrible.

Then they need: UNC, Indiana, UCLA, and Kentucky.

They have the most...:D

This meanss Duke will no longer play Michigan State in the ACC/Big Ten challenge.

The past decade - Duke, UCONN, Michgian State, Florida.
