Really just a crack -- it seems pretty clear that the NIT is a consolation tournament to soothe the guilt of the NCAA for excluding so many good mid-majors in favor of the good ole boys in the big conferences. Some poor coach there (making an obscene salary) might just lose his job if he doesn't land a bid every year. The system is so annoying and corrupt that the Ivies should seriously consider strategies for pulling out and forming a more relevant and fair post season tournament with other mid-majors. The Ivy League formed in the early fifties because of the general belief of its members that athletics were getting out of hand (even before the entry of huge revenues from TV, etc.). The priorities of the NCAA seem to be getting out of hand now. If it does not want us or share our values, maybe it is time to split. |
