There are negotiations to televise the Delaware game into the Richmond market, as well.
The men's basketball date at Wake Forest was shifted to January 2nd because the Demon Deacons are participating in the PreSeason NIT and the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. The Spiders have filled the November date with a game at Alabama-Birmingham of Conference USA. The game is scheduled for Saturday November 24th at 9:30pm ET.
The Atlantic 10 portion of the men's basketball schedule should be available in September.
