Mountain West Press Release:
The Mountain West and Atlantic 10 Conference have mutually agreed to postpone the leagues’ challenge series, originally scheduled to begin in December of 2020. Matchups are slated to be rescheduled for the 2021-22 season.
The NCAA’s revised college basketball start date that delays the beginning of the 2020-21 season until Nov. 25 creates a strain on programs as they attempt to adjust their non-conference schedules. Both conferences have numerous teams participating in multi-team events (MTEs) that are now rescheduling dates and locations based on the new NCAA season start date.
he parameters of the Mountain West-Atlantic 10 Challenge remain the same with 10 institutions (20 total teams) from each conference facing off in early December, five at A-10 arenas and five at Mountain West venues. The challenge is a two-year agreement with an option to extend.
