Radical changes in Euroleague?

[TeoTheGreek13]

Bertomeu thinks of changes that may be good for Euroleague basketball!

In the previous days, Bertomeu had meetings with the owners of many teams and he told them: "That's it. We need to change and we will."

Euroleague seems to lose in popularity the last years so, according to the article, decisions have been made and the only thing left is the official announcement of them!

The Euroleague season of 2011-2012 seems to be the last one with this format. The reason? Every single european championship(Greek, Spanish, Italian etc.) goes down in terms of "standards", quality and in general(even ACB, the best league in Europe!) fewer and fewer are those who support the game either from the TV or going to the stadium! Less interest about local championships and also for Euroleague.

So they decided to promote Euroleague don't really caring about national league's destiny.

Bertomeu had already start thinking of these changes by the time a call was made by a top European channel(like eurosport--I mean that covers many countries) and they told Jordi: "That's was it. Change Euroleague's match days. We want prime time and Friday or Saturday or Sunday! We don't care about national leagues."

To sum up, starting from the 2012-2013 season, all Euroleague games will be played on weekends and some of them Friday night! or

It will be an NBA like league(maybe without Final Four) where every team will play against every team and then... PLAYOFFS!!!

The league will probably be composed by less teams but these teams will be the best!

I'm not really sure yet but I think I'll go with it! Is a inovative idea for european basketball that may be proved real good fo the game!

I'm not pretty sure though, that's a big bet for Jordi...
