President Umberto Gandini is currently LIVE on Legabasket’s Facebook channels in a conference open to journalists:
«Today the meeting decided to partially modify the resolution of May 15 by establishing the following format: 16-team championship; 16-team Super Cup divided into 4 groups of 4 teams and subsequent Final Four ».
“For Turin, the possibility of being admitted to the 2020-2021 championship remains unaffected and guaranteed in the event of availability in the team in case of non-registration of one of the companies entitled”.
«This resolution was taken unanimously with Virtus Bologna only absent for logistical reasons. The companies thanked Sardara for the lucidity with which he faced the situation with the guarantee already paid in Legabasket. “
«Serie A has proven to be a serious environment. I did not experience uncertainties and chaos, there was a shared environment ».
“We didn’t expect six clubs to be interested in Serie A.”
“The interlocutions with Rome and Cremona are constant to understand what the situations are”.
«Championship at 14 if Cremona and Rome do not register? If both companies do not register, it will be discussed on August 4th, so we have not yet talked about it ».
«TV rights expire tomorrow. We await publication. We asked for a whole series of concessions, soon we will put them on sale to close as soon as possible ».
«Nerve imaging rights discovered. We will work on a virtuous project that makes basketball sustainable ».
‘Relief? I agree on capitalizing companies. Here there is no heritage as I understand it, or tags. Either companies have infrastructure, or else they don’t have assets. So the topic is very hot. If franchise means closed league, this is not a matter of my competence, but of the federation. If, on the other hand, we mean capitalization, I hope that the path to licensing will create a solid system for clubs ».
