List of teams opting out of NIT:
Belmont
Virginia Tech
San Diego State
Seton Hall
Indiana
Florida State
Oklahoma
I'm sure every team has their own rationale, but it likely has everything to do with focusing on next year's roster and/or spending more money than they'll earn. Not sure how Shaka would have responded had things gone differently this year.
Hey, the field for The Crown will be announced later today. So who knows...

Seton Hall is also declining The Crown.

Believe they take top two remaining BE, B10, and B12 teams then add two more. Standing wise the top remaining BE teams are Creighton, DePaul, and Marquette.
If it interferes with the portal window I'd pass, otherwise I'd have no problems with it. Gives the guys a chance to win some money.
Side note: If a 12-20 team is in contention for your tournament you should probably not have said tournament.

I mean if we went out there and basically only played Royce Owens James Stephens & Philips then go for it. Even if we get blasted just one more stretch of practice and game(s). But rolling out there with guys who are dead men walking or graduating would be a huge waste
