quote:

Though Tom Crean said last night that "we would have loved to be able to keep playing," and presumably another couple weeks of games and practices could help an underwhelming team get better, Indiana declined an invitation to the CBI tournament. While teams in the CBI have to pay to participate, AD Fred Glass said money wasn't the issue:

"Finances wouldn't be an issue if we thought it made sense," Glass told The Star. "But we're Indiana. We don't play in the CBI."




You also don't play in the NCAA Tournament... or the NIT, asshat.

I don't see a problem. A program like Indiana has no business playing in a shitty new postseason tournament.

It's totally reasonable to decline the CBI if you're Indiana.

It's a dick move to trash the entity that invited you to play.

I see no problem here.

There is no logical reason for Indiana to play in the CBI. Was it a douchy way to say it? Yes. But still.

Hell, Alabama has even turned down a CBI invite in the last few years. I would turn it down as well. Do they even show the games on TV?

Good for them. Now if we could get half of CFB's bowl eligible teams to take the same stance, life would be good.

I don't see the problem. The CBI is a joke and Indiana is too proud of a program to play in it.
