Ok. Was I the last person to find out about this? Apparently, professional basketball has come to Nashville. The Nashville Broncs will join the American Basketball Association this fall as an expansion team.

The team is made up mostly of graduates of colleges in Nashville - Lipscomb, Trevecca, Fisk, Austin Peay, Cumberland University and Columbia State, however, there is a summer league which includes open tryouts for the team.

The coach will be familiar to some of you. Former Vandy star and alum, Jan van Breda Kolff. During his time at Vanderbilt, Breda Kolff led the Commodores to a Sweet 16 appearance and was named SEC player of the year in 1974.

It looks like the games will be held at Nashville's Municipal Auditorium, but I could be wrong on that. The team's website is pretty bad.

I'm sure this will be a family friendly atmosphere and give kids the chance to watch live basketball throughout the year, but I would assume that Vanderbilt, Belmont, Lipscomb, Trevecca and Austin Peay all offer more exciting options.

But why the Broncs? Does anyone know?
