It helps that several schools looked down their noses at the NIT, but I'll take it.

It never felt like we played our basketball all season.  Would love to see the men’s team compete (at least) one more time. 

I think our women’s team could win the WNIT!

WNIT still do autobids to all conferences? They used to extend invite to the highest rated team from each conference that wasn’t picked by NCAA.

I think there’s enough NIT declines to give us a chance. And a healthy squad legitimately win it again. 

Where are you seeing these declines? Just curious.

I’d have to go back and check who exactly but there has been a number of teams that have already said they’re focus was building next years team.

I think there are two women’s tourneys as I understand it.  Not sure which is better.

WNIT is 48 teams at campus sites. WBI is 8 teams I think in Florida.

I’m not sure how they select.  I’d imagine we’re in, though.

I've also seen Indiana, Washington and Ole Miss among those that will/would decline an NIT offer.

Indiana State is another one

I would only take the CBI if it has  decent conferences’ teams . Ex. MWC, WCC ,WAC , CUSA, Charlotte 

I would take it regardless. We've had postseason basketball the past three years, and I don't want to stop now. Let's keep building our program resume.

If true then I think Indiana State is putting on airs. They played in the CBI last year and as the number one seed they were 1-1.

It seems crazy to me these teams wouldn't want to just play more basketball. Even if it's for the seniors. Just don't see the disadvantage. 

Now on the other hand, I am glad they feel that way because it gives us a glimmer of hope.

They want to focus that time on the transfer portal

Add St John’s and Pitt to the list declining a NIT invite

Ironic given St Johns helped run it for around 70 years.  I believe they've also won more NIT titles than anyone (many back when it was arguably as prestigious as the NCAA).

Pitino is too good for it.

      Another NIL Coaching Casualty

      Please move if needed, posting here as it's related to NIL and is probably more applicable to football than basketball. Miami basketball head coach is resigning. The following are quotes that should be of concern to any fan but especially some of your blue blood programs. What happens when you can no longer outspend your peers so your legendary coaches leave? Saban was the most name worthy retirement but there's been plenty others and here's another big name leaving. NIL will be reeled in when the big money boosters lose their favorite coaches, no longer see the wins on their records, and see they can no longer just money-whip their way to success. From the Miami Herald: “At this point, after 53 years, I just didn’t feel that I could successfully navigate this whole new world that I was dealing with because my conversations were ridiculous with an agent saying to me, `Well, you can get involved [with a prospective player] if you’re willing to go to $1.1 million, and that would be the norm.” ... “What shocked me beyond belief was after we made the Final Four just 18 months ago, the very first time I met with the players, eight of them decided they were going to put their names in the portal and leave. “I said, `Don’t you like it here?’ They’d say, `I love Miami, it’s great.’ But the opportunity to make money someplace else created a situation that you have to begin to ask yourself, as a coach, what is this all about?’’ He added that he tried “every which way” to make things work, but “last year was a disaster”, and this year was not going well, either. He felt the new players were not buying in as transfers had in years prior." https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/college/acc/university-of-miami/article297597538.html

      Breaking: Cash McCollum Enters Portal

      Bringing in Poffenberger, signing Jimerson and Mestemaker returning, Cash probably realized he wasn’t going to get any playing time here soon. Best of luck to him.
