I would never grow tired of the NCAAT as long as it is still the pinnacle. However, another NIT does nothing anymore to grow our brand or culture. The NIT's once-great reputation is now depleting, with the selection changes and championship not at MSG anymore.
The NIT does not pique the interest of unengaged alumni. Around the league, opposing fans will poke fun at our "NIT merchant" status. And me personally, I am choosing to travel to Austin/Waco/Norman/Fort Worth if the women make it to the NCAA Tournament over going to another men's NIT game.
To put it another way: the NIT is becoming the men's Frisco/HOD Bowl. Our football program has not accomplished anything greater since that UNLV beatdown and it shows with our postseason attendance. We went from 38000 fans on NYD 2014 to being outnumbered 2 to 1 by TXST fans in our own backyard ten years later.
