WVU baseball in BEast/Big Ten Challenge
We may get to see WVU's baseball team on TV it seems. These should be on the Big Ten network, if nobody else picks it up... 07-coffee3

MORGANTOWN -- West Virginia University's baseball team will open the 2009 season by competing in the inaugural Big East/Big Ten Challenge hosted by the St. Petersburg/Clearwater Sports Commission on Feb. 20-22.

"This is a cutting-edge concept for Division I baseball," Big East Commissioner Mike Tranghese said. "It's a terrific opportunity for our teams to play against great competition in a setting that's conducive to high-level collegiate baseball."

"We've held our baseball championship in the St. Petersburg/Clearwater area twice in the past three years, so we know that our teams are in for a wonderful experience."

The inter-conference competition will feature 27 games and give both northern-based conferences the opportunity to start the season competitively while playing in a warmer climate.

"We think it is a great idea," WVU Coach Greg Van Zant said. "We're excited for the opportunity to take part in something like this, and it's great for college baseball."

WVU will open its season against Indiana on Feb. 20, followed by games against Minnesota on Feb. 21 and Illinois on Feb. 22. Game times and venues will be announced at a later date.
