And for college basketball programs ,  a chance to plan for the beginning of a season that will complement and add to the excitement of the college football matchups in the fall.
Unfortunately for St. Joseph’s Basketball ,  it’s been a tumultuous past few weeks to say the least.
After 22–13 record last season — Head Coach Billy Lange has resigned and taken a job with the Knicks.As a result of his departure ,  St. Joe’s Basketball will not be attending the 2025 Players’ Era Showcase.Â
The Player’s Era Showcase is a college basketball tournament held annually by MGM Resorts International. The tournament itself is part of a larger festival — which also affords players name, image, and likeness opportunities (NIL.)
Each participating team will earn substantial compensation (i.e. $1 Million per team). Those funds can then be provided to players for approved (NCAA-compliant) activities.
The team will play the 2025Â season;Â however, the first game will be on November 3rd against Lafayette.
