I don’t understand turning down the NIT, especially a team like St John’s

Ole Miss also. I love the NIT, but I think it's time for it to go if quality teams decline to participate. Is there not money to be made, or do teams lose money participating?

Just cancel the whole damn thing

Use the NIT to put 4 teams in the big dance. Qualifier

Chris Beard immediately said we wouldn’t be participating after we lost in the SEC Tournament. And that’s totally fine with me. It makes no sense to participate anymore

Well we saw it in CFB...basically turning down big bowl games not in the playoffs by opting out.

If this were a program that had no semblance of postseason for a few years, then I'd play but otherwise it's meaningless hoops and don't even get to play at MSG at the end

Just let the NIT die an honorable death.
It's time has passed.

I think Pitt is playing in NIT

There’s been some big changes to the NIT, so it makes sense in that context.
You no longer play in MSG (that was always a big draw).
They no longer have autobids for conference champs that didn’t win their tournament. Which is a huge hit for mid-majors and that waters down the competition IMO.
ETA: And the whole transfer portal situation has been pointed out.
It’s a shame because the NCAA could’ve really bolstered the tournament by delaying the portal opening.

NIT = Not In Tournament Tournament

Why turn down more practice?
Posted on 3/18/24 at 9:30 am to cardswinagain
Was USF at all close to making the NCAA tourney?

The NIT is a losers tournament
Its outlived it usefulness, if it ever had any

indiana, pittsburgh, st.johns need to hit the transfer portal in a big way, so i get it.
looks like Fed ex cash doesn't over come Pennys coaching.
