STARTING this week at the Atlantis resort on Paradise Island and finishing December 22 at the Thomas A Robinson National Stadium, the Bahamas will be the site of two major college sports events that bring thousands of visitors to the Bahamas and millions more viewers on ESPN television platforms around the world.
The seventh-annual Bad Boy Mowers Battle 4 Atlantis will be played November 22-24 in the Imperial Arena at Atlantis. The 2017 field includes 2016 NCAA national champion Villanova along with Arizona, North Carolina State, Purdue, Tennessee, WKU, SMU and Northern Iowa.
ESPN will show all 12 games from the 2017 tournament as the sole broadcaster on its various channels and online platforms. ESPN began televising select games, including the championship game, from the Battle in 2014, and 2017 is the first year that every Battle game will be shown on an ESPN platform.
The 4th-annual Bahamas Bowl December 22 will feature teams soon to be announced from Conference USA and Mid-American Conference. As with the previous three editions, the Bahamas Bowl will be televised by ESPN at 12:30pm ET. The Bahamas Bowl game broadcast has brought the highest TV ratings of any sporting event held in the Bahamas.
