After seven hours of meetings and some progress, NBA players and owners finished the evening without an agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement. Multiple reports state that NBA Commissioner David Stern announced that the first two weeks of regular season games, which were slated to run from Nov. 1 through Nov. 14, were now cancelled s a result of the failure. The NBA’s website reported that the two sides had at least made some headway, including a modified mid-level exception, which can help a team go above the salary cap to add new players.
TCU has made it official, announcing last night that they will be joining the Big 12 conference beginning next year. The move brings the conference back up to 10 members, although Missouri is still mulling its future. The Big East, meanwhile, now drops back to six full time members once Syracuse and Pitt depart and conference presidents and chancellors gave their approval to add schools in order to expand to a 12-team football league.
Fox’s rain-delayed coverage of the MLB Detroit/Texas ALCS Game 1 delivered the channel with a 3.9 overnight rating, according to Nielsen’s metered market ratings.

Meanwhile, TBS featured the St. Louis/Milwaukee game which saw a2.4 overnight rating, off 62% from the Yankees-Rangers ALCS game 1 last year.
In NFL action, CBS saw the highest-rated game for the week, with the Jets/Patriots matchup earning a 15.6 overnight score, for a 7% spike over comparable coverage last year.
