CBI gets high major schools every year. But we will see about Vegas 16.

High majors in the 8 CBIs:

Oregon State
Pittsburgh
Oregon
Washington State
Stanford
Virginia
Purdue
Texas A&M
Penn State
Virginia
Colorado
Texas
Cincinnati (even though I say AAC is high major now, went while member of Big East)
Washington

LopesUp, 2016 was the first time in the CBIs history they didnt have at least one high major participant. I dont think one year warrants saying theres a "consensus" P5 schools "have no interest" in playing in the CBI.

Nevada is on the rise though. They have Elijah Foster who was hurt most of this year but chose Nevada over SU on his signing day. We really could have uses him from Beach with how thin out post depth is
