Corio Bay Stingrays Big V?
Are they still going to be entering next year?
Initially, with the merger between Basketball Geelong, Supercats and Corio Bay Basketball Association they were to be no-more after this season?
History behind this:
- To enter NBL1 it had to be done through Basketball Geelong and not the Supercats due to the association requirements (i.e referee program and junior basketball).
- Given the rule of associations not allowed to hold an NBL1 licence and a Big V senior divisional team, Basketball Geelong relinquished their Big V entry in D1M handing it to Bellarine Basketball Association.
- The Basketball Geelong (by this time owners of an NBL1 licence) and Corio Bay Association merger took place after the entry of the 2020 Big V season. It was decided in good faith that they would be allowed to roll this over into 2021 after the COVID cancelled season prevented a 'farewell' season.
