Turner Sports Grabs NCAA Hoops Games

Turner Sports, which operates TNT and TBS, will begin carrying NCAA tourney games next year along with CBS, which has done so since 1982.

USA Today is reporting the two programmers have a joint 14-year, multi-billion-dollar rights deal to carry the tournament, which will have more than the current 65 games.

The NCAA has exercised a right to opt out of an exclusive deal with CBS and ink the new one.

It's unclear how Turner and CBS will split the games, and what networks Turner will use on its end.
