Vegas 16
La Tech is the perfect match for the Vegas16, a new post season tourney to be held in Vegas starting March 26th. Maybe another team from CUSA as well if NIT does not offer.
1. Get to go to Vegas
2. Get to play on TV(cbscollegesports)
3. Get to play when rest of teams not in final four are done
4. Get to say you played in the inaugural Vegas16
5. Much higher potential than CBI or CIT
6. Won't have to pay to host or be a turkey that plays an away game in CBI or CIT
7. Get to go to Vegas!

Agreed that would work for me...I think the women already have 64 teams in NIT...

All games are in tv.
They need good teams and programs that travel well.
La Tech has a good record and may not get the invite to NIT.
Vegas16 Baby!

I would never want my team to be in a pay for play tournament. They shouldn't exist.

The women do have 64 in WNIT and there is still a WBI.

Right now our conference needs exposure and experience. I see them as solid investments in certain situations.

RE: Vegas 16
Agree with expanding the NIT. If a team wants to play in a pay to play, thats their business I guess. If its a young team, it can be worth the investment for the extra practice and experience. I hope ODU doesn't pay to be in one this year as we have an experienced team that should be in the NCAAs or NIT. Win today or stop... this year. I'll say from experience, as a fan, the C__ Tournaments can be fun if you go far and/or win.

RE: Vegas 16
I'd agree with the OP that the Vegas16 seems like a better deal than either the CBI or CIT.

I'd also agree that getting rid of the CBI and CIT in exchange for an expanded NIT would appear to the a better solution. Though the organizers of those two events would lose their cushy "jobs," so perhaps they may be opposed.

RE: Vegas 16
I think a case can be made for playing in one of these tournaments, and Charlotte has a very young team that most would argue can gain from the experience, but it would just make me feel dirty--like ECU. Maybe it is like sleeping with a Marshall coed, you do it but you do not talk about it. (Kidding guys, just kidding!)

The NCAA should just make the NCAA tournament exclusively for p5 schools and make the N.I.T. exclusively for G5 schools.

That would be a lot more fun to watch.

Think about it. That is what they are practically doing anyway.
