A Pac-12 press release last week touted upcoming “educational opportunities” the Washington Huskies and Texas Longhorns will experience during next month’s season-opening NCAA men’s basketball game in China.
Players in the Pac-12 China Game will participate in an educational seminar with a Chinese e-commerce giant in Hangzhou, then swing over to Shanghai for tours of landmarks and a night cruise on the Huangpu River.
