Tournament Costs for CIT
I have a few questions about the costs of participating in the CIT. Kent first played at MTSU and then several days later in Texas.... now on to Arizona. Did the team travel by bus or air? Did they return to Kent and then to Texas/Arizona? For all this, that's moving at least 18 people around the country. Transportation, meals, incidentals.... have got to cost $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Anybody have inside knowledge of how all this goes down? Who is footing the bill? I don't see a whole lot of fans in the stands at these events either.

According to an AD in the same tournament:
Beyond the NIT there are two independently run tournaments that I label as “pay to play” tournaments. There is the 32 team College Insider Tournament (CIT ) and the 16 team College Basketball Invitational (CBI ). Both these tournaments require a significant guarantee; $35,000 and up per home game. Team travel reimbursement is sufficient.

Hope this info helps.
