NBL brand and sites to relaunch August 6
You can set a schedule and lock in venues without announcing it to the public, though.

Yeah, I'd imagine if there are any big announcements coming they'd be saving them for the launch of the new brand, only because it's logical to do so. Frankly, I find it a bit odd that they announced the schedule when they did, although people do need to plan around the schedule to a greater degree than a TV deal, or the league getting a major sponsor, or whatever else.

884, Only what has been speculated on here which is a possible TV deal. There's a few threads about it.
That could be a factor as to why there is a week long build up to the new site?
I was just assuming only - sorry for getting you thinking I might know something :)

Nothing wrong with a little bit of a build up to hype things up. As long as they deliver with a much improved website, Im happy to wait a week.
Expect a few big announcements when the site is launched too.

Content and functionality are king closely followed by usability. A logo is such small stuff. I might look at it for 2 seconds on my first visit.
Here I do not even register the banner. My focus is on the discussion list and which one I want to read. Thats what keeps me coming back.

I was with Peterjohn's analogy all the way until he said he wanted his steak well done
