Sorry, but the NIT does a terrible job promoting the tournament, ESPN doesn’t care as they just use it as a vehicle to talk about the NCAA’s during halftime and they switch it from channel to channel within the ESPN family to accommodate some story on a BBQ joint in backwoods Alabama. Because of this, the only people aware of the games are the fans of the respective schools.

I agree. For a tournament that is on their network, there is almost no coverage. I watch Sportcenter and other ESPN shows and they want to talk about women's NCAA before NIT. 

Sorry...one of these is not the same IMO.

Prior to them covering the entirety of the Women's Tournament, ESPN gave it more coverage (about 12-15 years ago they even showed all the games on either ESPN, ESPN2, or ESPNU), but at the same time...they've always spent halftimes talking about the Men's NCAA Tournament.

We got 4 NIT games, probably a million people saw our program over those 4 games.  Did Memphis get a million people watching their one-and-done game?   The NIT was good exposure for our Brand...would have been better to won it!

I do feel the NIT has lost some shine. 

But I totally forgot about the new Crown tournament until late tonight, so I checked the scores.  Never saw a promotion for it or any media about it.  I saw Nebraska beat UCF in the final today.  I had no clue it was even going on.

I'm a college basketball junkie and I didn't watch five total minutes of the Crown Tournament.  I almost forgot about it.  I flipped by and saw it was on TV before the F4 on Saturday.

I'd be real curious the to see the ratings for the Crown Tournament games.

Thursday Ratings: CBS Wins in Total Viewers and Key Older Demos with Return of Regular Lineup, TNT Tops Among Younger Adults Thanks to NBA Warriors-Lakers - Programming Insider

Two games on the same night. Not a true apples to apples comparison.

College Basketball Crown Third Quarterfinal: UCF vs. Cincinnati (FS1, 7:02 PM-9:14 PM, 132 min.) • 0.181 million viewers


NIT Tournament Championship: UT-Chattanooga vs. UC Irvine (ESPN, 9:07 PM-11:36 PM, 149 min.) • 0.508 million viewers

Not exact game numbers but I can almost guarantee Memphis got more exposure for their 1 and done game. I would rather get blown out in the first round of the NCAA tournament than win the NIT. It's a worthless tournament for exposure now. First round of the big dance average 9.1 million viewers.

Number about the same for the North Texas vs OSU game.

NIT Tournament Quarterfinal #2: North Texas at Oklahoma State (ESPN, 9:23 PM-11:35 PM, 132 min.) • 0.325 million viewers

Both are more viewers than we got for the football game against Army on ESPN2.  Other than the bowl game, the Army game was our highest rated football game at 322K (0.322 million viewers).

      When the hell did we sign this guy?

      My point was that despite the offer list 247 rated him this highly giving their honest evaluation. Of the next 30 running backs ranked below him, 26 are committed to power teams including Tennessee A&M Michigan penn state USC. Obviously they see something in him to give him that kind of ranking.

      Jason Edwards transfers to....Providence?

      When players arrive via the portal, no one should be surprised when they leave via the portal. Many (most?, not sure) have agents managing these moves on their behalf. They are not student athletes anymore. We should simply view them as paid mercenaries for their respective sports.

      Well and remember Providence and the Big East type and Gonzaga types do not have the football draino like we have. If UNT would get smart and move football to non-scholarship we could be a powerhouse in hoops and actually compete nationally. And I do love football but it just is a losing hand for places like UNT. It just is and the sooner we come to that realization the better.
