New York City was previously announced as the location for TN’s opening night event of the college throwball season, called the “TN Titleholder Classic”, including Arkansas, Michigan State, Little Rock, and North Carolina. Instead, the Big Apple will rotate with three other cities; Chicago, Dallas, and Indianapolis to host the event every November to open the season. The three will rotate through the 2029-2030 academic and athletic year until new teams will be selected for the event in the fall of 2029. In addition, the “TN Christmas Classic” will move on from just being hosted every season in Las Vegas. The event will rotate between Vegas and Atlanta. Just like the “Titleholder Classic”, new teams for the “Christmas Classic” will be announced in the fall of 2029. Here is the new schedule for both events through the 2029-2023 season.
