IRVING, TEXAS (February 2, 2009) Conference USA fans dress in reds, blues and also purple, orange, gold and black as they cheer on their basketball teams to victory. As C-USA men’s basketball teams prep for the upcoming 2009 C-USA Men’s Basketball Championship in Memphis, Tenn., the league will expand on the excitement of the event with a multimedia plan that includes blogging, live streaming and the opportunity for fans to rock their video cameras.
Even if you can’t make the trek to Memphis, you can still follow along on ConferenceUSA.com. Watch your team in action as they pace up and down the court, lounge at the hotel, enjoy a good meal and share their personal superstitions and traditions. Complete coverage will include all of the above and much more. Don’t let your schedule or the distance keep you away from all the excitement.
The plan calls for an expansion to the already successful “C-USA Blog Network” on ConferenceUSA.com that has reported from all of the major C-USA Championships for the past three seasons. New additions will include behind-the-scenes video coverage from the 2009 C-USA Men’s Basketball Championship as well as live streaming of first-round games, highlight packages, additional video blogs and live streaming of all press conferences that will also be available on member institution websites.
The second phase of the plan is a fan contest called “C-USA Ultimate Fan”, launching on ConferenceUSA.com. Fans are asked to visit C-USA’s You Tube channel and submit a 90 second video telling us why you are your school’s “Ultimate Fan”. Videos can be submitted beginning Feb. 2 and will be accepted through Feb. 23.
The league will pick 12 finalists (one from each school) that will receive two 2009-10 season tickets to their school’s home basketball games. The video finalists will then be featured on ConferenceUSA.com from Feb. 25-Mar. 4, where fans will decide the Grand Prize winner to be announced on March 5.
The fan vote winner receives a pair of club seats to both the 2009 and 2010 C-USA Basketball Championship in Tulsa, as well as another chance to record their life as an Ultimate Fan at both events.
Visit ConferenceUSA.com for updated information and blogs regarding C-USA men’s basketball and don’t forget to grab your video cameras so you can tell us why you are the “C-USA Ultimate Fan”. The C-USA men’s basketball championship will take place at FedExForum in Memphis, Tenn., March 11-14.
