UAlbany plans trip to China


Recommended Posts

On the university's website today:

 

http://www.albany.edu/sports/

 

The blurb discusses concrete plans for the men's basketball team to travel to China in 13 months. The article has a picture of McElroy holding up a Nanjing T-shirt.

 

Just more good publicity for the athletic program and another great opportunity for the team to gain experience.

 

The school's drive to improve our basketball takes another step forward.

 

The info about the school's trip is, of course, not new information, but it keeps the prospect of the trip alive in the media.

Story in the T-U today about UAlbany creating cooperative projects with Chinese universities UAlbany courts connection to Chinese counterparts

 

Quote from McElroy: "It's a study abroad program with a twist, and an important twist -- we will be the first Division 1 men's basketball team in NCAA history and the history of this country to play in China," McElroy writes.

 

"We've decided on a time period of mid-July to mid-August 2007. Per NCAA regulations, we are allowed to play five games, and we're working toward making those happen in three of the biggest sports markets in the country -- Beijing, Shanghai and Jiangsu Province."
