Blangiardi said he reached a new agreement on the TV plans at 3:30 p.m. with Hawai'i High School Athletic Association executive director Keith Amemiya, the Classic's organizer. The original deal struck two weeks ago stipulated that 40,000 tickets had to be sold by the end of today for a live broadcast, and the ticket count is only at about 26,000.
But after discussing the situation, Blangiardi and Amemiya agreed to drop that clause.
"We're really pleased," Blangiardi said. "We feel at this point the people who want to be there will be there anyway; it won't affect the walk-up sales."
