"...we're Indiana. We don't play in the CBI"

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

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."

what a bunch of tools, enjoy mediocrity for the next decade

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

ETA: although, yes, it's still hilarious

I need to start a "Keep Crean" campaign.

Lots of schools THINK that....only Indiana has the crass to SAY it.

So I guess it's better to play nothing at all.

Tom Cream wasn't a nice person.

Douche thing to say but few big schools play in the CBI

I'd think those players could use a couple of extra weeks of practice and game time.

Other than playing a couple meaningless games, what is he accomplishing?
He's right. Indiana is a big basketball name. You're accomplishing nothing. If he took a team vote from his kids and they don't want to play, then so be it.
I agree with Creen here.

A couple of extra weeks of practice and competition for a team that obviously needs it.

Team will be different next year anyway, a couple extra weeks of practice followed by months of inactivity doesn't help anything

He would fit right in at La Tech.

Actually, Crean wanted to play. It was the AD that basically told the CBI to shove their invite up their arse, minus lube.

He mad

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.

Pretty much this.

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.
