I do not know what the format will look like, but I think people have had

enough with the event ending at 10:45 p.m. One of our interns, Cody Wagner, also works for the ACCN at Virginia Tech. He had to report to Cassell at 6 a.m. on Sunday. He did not leave Cassell until roughly 11:30 p.m. That is ridiculous. I also noticed how many kids were at Cassell on Sunday. There were way too many at the championship round on a school night. If you want to maximize attendance and viewership, have the championship round at 5 p.m. or 6 p.m. The only other event going on that weekend is the ACC WBB Tournament which the semifinals on Saturday are broadcasted on ESPN2 and the finals on Sunday are on ESPN. The ACCN is wide open for the wrestling tournament all weekend. Moving it to a two day event is also inconsequential because only the finals are broadcasted on linear (ACCN) with the rest only available on streaming.

TV revenue may overrule attendance logic

I didn't think last year's tournament at Duke was all that bad.
