No NIL involved.

Big East..Big 12...Big 10 .. contractually required to send 2 teams to tournament.

If you turn down a bid to CBB Crown...you're not allowed to play in NIT..

TCU... West Virginia..and KState turned down bids.

Just what we need. Another anti-climactic who cares college basketball tournament for the barely average at most left overs.

NIL yes..

$500,000 total payout. Final 4 get paid. $300k to winning team.

Teams decide how to distibute...Some will play w/ walkons.Some will use as auditions..Incentive for NIT to start paying players.

Thanks for correction...

Guess we all like bball here, but man, kinda easy to see why shouldnt expand field in the few minutes I saw., lol. Good for them; chance to make a few bucks, I guess. Kind of a Ringling Bros. vibe. Crazy times.

Could see in 5-10 years NCAA tourney with prize $.
