Here was the first part of the press release last year about the Battle at the Beach MTE scheduled for 2025.

“The inaugural Battle At The Beach was announced today, a premier college basketball experience featuring a range of events for athletes and fans, all hosted in Long Beach, Calif. Staged on the serene campus of Long Beach State, the tournament will launch in November 2025 and feature a mix of Division-I teams from Power 5 conferences and mid-major schools, including Long Beach State's very own men's basketball team.”

Just released today. Battle of the Beach is scheduled for November 19-21. Participants include Montana State and Nobel University (non-D1). Does that sound like a mix of D1 teams from Power 5 conferences and mid-major schools?
