I am opposed to entering buy in tournaments. The 2018 CBI for our 15-17 team aided in fan support, bumped our win total up to 20 games, and increased excitement for a program that was on a devastating 5 year losing streak, but I never expect to be in that position again.
I also think the Crown Tournament gave you a better field. If they took Tulane and Boise State, they'd have taken us. Now, what I don't know is if that tournament is a buy-in or not. If it was, there's no way this administration and AD would do that. We aren't under Smatresk or Wren Baker anymore...
Anyone know if we got any revenue for making it to the NIT semifinals?
Probably just expenses if I had to guess. Still, the media was better then no media.
The extra games were not beneficial to the whole team (like football bowl games) since no bench players played and the whole team basically gets replaced each season now.
