Absolute Junk

TLDR:
Top 6 conference (ACC, BE, B12, B10, Pac (WTF!) and SEC) get a guaranteed 2 spots in the NIT AND both of those are hosting spots. Selected as the highest 2 NET teams that didn't make it.

Remaining 20 spots are selected by committee and 4 will be selected as hosts


So they basically have stopped hiding it's no longer a fair playing field. Regular season champs no longer get a guaranteed bid.

That is some bullshit.

My gut reaction is from this point on if I am not in the big dance, I will politely decline to participate in the NIT, and then make a massive public stink about it when invited.

Though I might change my tune when the time comes, depending on potential moolah to be earned.

$$$$ talks

Is there a lot of money in broadcasting 12-21 Nebraska against 14-19 Boston College?

[Stickboy46]

I look forward to the Pac-2 getting an auto bid to the NCAA and also 2 guaranteed bids to the NIT

I agree with your point but still believe money made the difference for the rule in the first place.

Spoiler alert: this isn’t going to stop with the NIT. Better enjoy this year’s NCAA tournament format because it’s on its last legs.

Don't those leagues get 4-6 teams in the dance? Now at least 2 in the NIT?

Time to disband the NCAA and start a new Amateur Collegiate Athletics League. ACAL.

Hard pass on the NIT.

4-6? Hell, there have been times when it’s a high single-digit number, if not a double digit number.

[ShockerFever]

The ruining of college athletics is nearing completion.

Ought to be interesting to see how this decision works out. Gonna laugh my a$$ off when they get bottom feeders from so called power conferences.

[Ashockalypse]

NCAA is just Mafia now. The rest of the conferences are just the Washington Generals. There is no shame by the “Power” 5 or whatever and there is no pride in the rest of the conferences. Never play in the NIT. The Power 5 protection Racket is just out in the open! Just openly disgusting. Like taking a crap at the dinner table on Thanksgiving. Thank you sir. May we have another?

Why is there no protest of this by about 270 members?
