This is for the "new" league with a new name... LINK

Basketball highlights...

"In men’s basketball, all conference controlled games will be televised.

• More than 63 percent of the games will be carried on national broadcast or national cable, which will be a minimum of 107 games.
• The entire conference postseason basketball tournament will be on national television. The championship game will be televised on ABC or ESPN.

In women’s basketball, there is tremendous national and regional coverage.

• Nearly 60 games will be televised on national cable, regional sports networks and ESPN3, including the entire women’s basketball postseason tournament. Eighteen regular-season games will be televised nationally.
• The women’s basketball tournament championship game will be on ESPN or ESPN2. The semifinals also will be on national cable."

I wonder what the women's coverage will actually turn out to be???

Financially the tv revenue is weak. I know the league is on unsettled ground now, but I would hope there is a clause to open and renegiotiate the contract.
