Duke–Michigan college basketball game moves to baseball stadium due to conflict

Summary

The Duke–Michigan college basketball game that was to be held at Madison Square Garden has been shifted to LoanDepot Park, home of the Miami Marlins, due to a broadcasting dispute. The game is part of an agreement with Amazon Prime Video, which involves three neutral-site matches for Duke, including two others against UConn and Gonzaga. The move stems from conflicting media rights between Duke's agreements with ESPN and Michigan's Big Ten broadcast rules. While the shift has not been finalized, it is expected to proceed. Michigan coach Dusty May has connections with Marlins owner Bruce Sherman, who previously considered hosting games at the venue.
