Aug 01, 2024 | Men's Basketball
BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION – The Texas A&M men's basketball team faces a loaded field at the inaugural Players Era Festival, which will be contested Thanksgiving week (Nov. 26-29) in Las Vegas, Nevada.
In addition to the Aggies, the Festival field includes Alabama, Creighton, Houston, Notre Dame, Oregon, Rutgers and San Diego State. Six of the eight teams - Texas A&M, Alabama, Creighton, Houston, Oregon and San Diego State - were in the 2024 NCAA Tournament.
Five teams in the field were mentioned in CBSSports.com's "way-too-early" top 25 for the upcoming season with the Crimson Tide leading the way at No. 2, followed by No. 4 Houston, No. 11 Texas A&M, No. 21 Creighton and No. 23 Rutgers.
The Players Era Festival is a week-long celebration of college basketball, featuring elite players, teams and coaches. The debut in-season tournaments at the Players Era Festival will coincide with the opportunity for each team to engage in NIL activities separate from competition. In addition to an innovative format designed to invigorate early season tournament competition before the start of conference play, there will also be live music, financial education programs, and multiple on-call NIL opportunities for players.
