I know the CBI was gonna try and keep schools regionally close to make travel easy for at least the 1st round. I read that a week or so ago. So maybe Utah vs Washington? That wouldn't be TOO bad travel wise.

from Salt Lake Tribune:

Utes Will Play in CBI -- Only Mystery Is Where

Coach Jim Boylen just told me the Utes are definitely in the College Basketball Invitational, they're just waiting to hear who they're playing, and where.

"We'll play anybody, anywhere, any time," Boylen said.

Boylen said he had heard that the Utes would be matched against Seton Hall, but also that it might be Nevada or UTEP. We'll have more details probably within the hour. Meanwhile, the Utes plan to have a short practice tonight, to shoot a bit and "walk through some things," Boylen said.

Bama's coach musta changed their AD's mind. I have to go find those articles where he said they weren't going so you don't think I'm making it up. :ph34r:

Bradley is definitely in. From the Seattle paper......announcing UW's invite:

UW in CBI and likely to host Wednesday

Posted by Bob Condotta

That's the word from UW, that the Huskies have been invited. But there is no official word yet on the field itself.

We should know in the next half-hour or so who the Huskies will host on Wednesday and the rest of the field so I'll pass that along as soon as it comes.

Here's a link to the bracket, which should soon be filled.

UPDATE --- The Sonics have a home game with Phoenix on Wednesday night scheduled for telecast on FSN-Northwest, so there might not be local TV for this game unless it's at an unusual start time.

UPDATED UPATE --- As of 8:20, still no word on an opponent for the Huskies, or an official CBI field. However, we're told UW did practice today already in anticipation of a bid. Jon Brockman, still ailing with a sprained ankle, did not practice.

MORE ON THE FIELD --- Other teams that will play in the CBI are Virginia, Houston, Utah and Bradley, and apparently Alabama. So there will be some big names.

Houston needs an opponent :) , I'm guessing they asked New Mexico State for that game , next will Texas Tech then maybe Us. A team like Northern Arizona (19-11) could also be in the mix. I"m not sure if they would want to re-match up conference foes , someone like a UTEP or Tulsa

Cincinatti is definitely in. According to the article I read they will play either Virginia or Penn State. Penn State getting in would be irritating considering they have a losing record - but reading between the lines they must be in also. Only adding Cincy till I have verification on PSU.

Apparently Richmond and Nevada are also in. I think we're up to 12 total now.

Perhaps we should start trying to put schools in regions and see if there's anywhere we could still go. It's not looking good, but I must say it's been sorta fun finding these out one and two at a time.

Seems to be trickling in team by team with no brackets.

Here is what I've been able to find so far.

Houston

Virginia

Ohio

Brown

Utah

Washington

Cincinatti

UTEP

Bradley

Richmond

Nevada

Tulsa

Seton Hall

UNC Wilmington

IUPUI

Rider

so i'm guessing the games will be set up something like:

utep (tx) at nevada (nv)

ohio (oh) at cincinnati (oh)

iupui (in) at bradley (il)

utah (ut) at washington (wa)

tulsa (ok) at houston (tx)

rider (nj) at seton hall (nj)

richmond (va) at virginia (va)

leftovers - brown (ri) and unc wilmington (nc)

brown kind of messes things up, but unc wilmington could play either virginia or richmond and teams could shift north or you could just have one purely non-regional match-up

      UC Davis to MWC

      SAC St. should eventually get an invite from either the MWC or PAC 7. The Montana and Dakota schools seem happy in 1AA and the cost to move up is high when you add the NCAA $5 million upgrade fee, $2 million entry fee[ MWC] , 20 football scholarships, and stadium expansions to accommodate at least 25,000 fans. NDSU has a covered stadium that seats about 20,000 ( I didn't check the other 5 Dakota schools) so they might get a pass.

      Mountain West looking to add NIU/Toledo

      When CUSA last imploded both schools were invited to join the MAC as a package. WKU was all in, MTSU was not so they were both stuck in CUSA. N. Illinois , certainly much to my surprise, is moving to the MWC , who might be in the market for another football only school. The MAC bylaws require their members to place all their sports in the conference so unless they are changed N.Illinois must find a new home for their 'others." U.Mass is rejoining the MAC so they probably will stand pat. I think the N.Illinois victory over the Fighting Irish may have gone to their head plus their fans are tired of weeknight games that make it hard to attend for those who live out of town.

      A Volleyball Coach To Consider??

      Hodge has us more than middle of the road in the AAC. We are definitely in the top 3. If it was not for a bad shooting night for our two top scorers against Memphis, we would be at the top.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      I can't disagree with anything you're saying if ACC comes poaching and we're sitting here with Rice, Tulsa, and ULM/LAT as our most local conference peers. If that is the case, and it's a somewhat likely scenario, we need to be looking into the PAC as a viable option and not hush-hush turning them down. If anything, we probably should be lifting our skirt a little bit to keep it open as an option.

      Power Conferences making their move to take full control

      Seems the b10/sec are so worried about making sure they generate the absolute most revenue versus their peers that they’ve lost sight of what excites people about college sports in the first place. Until one of them relents and settles for setting caps in spending, and potentially sharing revenue, I don’t see how this changes. I think that the power brokers believe that most current fans will just adopt their local big state or closest big brand and continue to follow college sports. Time will tell if they are right. For me, I will not. If it gets to the point where UNT no longer has a chance to be in the pool, my interest will evaporate overnight. Maybe they don’t care and assume that enough will that they’ll keep growing their own brands and revenues.
