By now, you know that Turner Sports and channels such as TNT, TBS & truTV, DIRECTV 246, will be teaming up with CBS Sports to provide exclusive coverage of the upcoming NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, starting with this year's "Road to the Final Four". What you haven't read is what TNT has announced today.

Marv Albert & Steve Kerr, TNT's #1 NBA team who will call the Clippers/TrailBlazers game tonight in Portland, OR, will be working the regional semifinals & one of the regional finals on CBS' NCAA Tournament coverage this March. If that's not enough, the Final Four and the National Championship game at Reliant Stadium in Houston will now become a three-man booth. Kerr will join CBS' #1 NCAA hoops team of Jim Nantz & Clark Kellogg for the Final Four April 2nd and the National Championship game April 4th.

If that's not enough, TNT's "Inside the NBA" team of host Ernie Johnson, Jr., Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley will actually vacate their Atlanta studios and relocate to the CBS Sports studios in New York come tournament time. Those guys will help out Greg Gumbel, onetime former Bull Greg Anthony and Sports Illustrated college hoops writer Seth Davis in their coverage of "The Road to the Final Four". It remains to be seen if the "Inside the NBA" guys will have as much freedom when they help out the CBS guys as they do on their own postgame after TNT's Thursday night NBA doubleheader.

It looks like CBS had to agree to a lot of things from the other networks they got in bed with to keep the tournament.
