| 3 to 5?? Foxtel only accepted a 1 year deal to cover the NBL... so it'll be interesting to see what happens after this season... |

yep drjmaroon, absolutely spot on there... the NBL is just about dead....
with the European leagues exploding and about to rival the NBA in terms of money and being able to attract top players, there's just no reason for anyone to play in the NBL....
I think basketball in Australia will probably become like baseball, reduced to state competition ie WA v Vic with absolutely minimal coverage...
RIP NBL..... |

Hey guys,
My name is Cam, I'm a research student at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia.
I'm currently doing a research project on basketball in Australia, in particular attitudes and interest toward the NBL.
If you could help me out, by filling out a quick 5 minute survey, it'd be much appreciated. I assure you this isn't for profit, your details won't be given to anyone else, blah blah blah, it's all legit.

Thanks guys,
