Where’s the Gophers’ 2008-09 basketball schedule?

About a month ago, I was told that the Gophers were going to release their 2008-09 schedule. But here we are a month later and I have yet to see one.
The nonconference schedule is set. But the Big Ten hasn’t finalized its games yet. After numerous “it’ll be out next week” responses from Minnesota spokesman Matt Slieter, I went back to him today.
He said he received an e-mail from the Big Ten today stating that the 2008-09 schedules will arrive next week. Maybe. Slieter said the hangup is related to TV scheduling conflicts.
After talking to Matt, I called Big Ten spokeswoman LaTonya Sadler, who told me that there were some “moving parts” that needed to be finalized but that the schedule should be out next week.
