College Basketball Crown Tournament?

What is this? It looks like we play Butler in the first round, which is at least interesting to me as an Indiana resident. The game is two-weeks away. Will we even have enough players still on the team to play? They need to push the portal back to the end of the NCAA tourney.

Yeah. What is this?

It’s ANOTHER post season tournament, trying to slot in between the NCAA’s and the NIT driven by FOX. It takes the top 2 NET rank teams left out from the Big East, Big Ten, and Big 12 – plus 10 at larges. Because of it, the NIT got rid of the auto bids for those leagues.

So, we have the NCAA’s, CBC, NIT, and the CBI.

I believe this one is owned by FOX. Made for TV tournament in Vegas.

Is that the correct pecking order, or is the NIT still second behind the NCAA? Sounds like it could be a better field than the NIT if it high grades teams with a high NET that didn’t make the NCAA. Or when you say “left out” do you mean of both the NCAA and NIT?

[NarfUte]

Left out of the NCAA’s from those conferences. the ACC and SEC decided to not participate, so their top 2 NET teams left out of the NCAA’s go to the NIT, contractually.

The contracted teams can opt out if they don’t have a head coach. In the Big-12’s case, WVU should be going to the CBC but somehow they got out of it.
