Do you think having the NIT Champion a guaranteed spot in the NCAA tourney in the ensuing year is a good idea?

YES... makes NIT more interesting
NO... next year team could stink

MarquetteDano

Just throwing this one out there.  I am stealing the concept from how the European soccer tournaments work.  I know it would not exactly boost the NIT ratings or anything but may give teams a little more pride in the tournament that used to be a pretty big deal.

Obviously, seniors would not get to enjoy the next year and the the remaining players could make for a horrible team the next year.  But could it spice things up?

What say you?

NCAA champ maybe, not the NIT champ.  There's no guarantee an NCAA champ will make it the following year so why take a step down.

It's a "no" but not because of your inferred reasoning.  It's because "who cares who wins an irrelevant tournament."

The winner of the Great Alaska Shootout should get an automatic place in the tournament.

I voted no, but a young NIT champ is likely to be in NCAA the next year.

Mayor McCheese

Should the teams that make the Final Four the previous year be automatically put into the tournament the following year?

Butler says yes!

What about the Blue and Gold Classic--assuming it makes a comeback? Coppin State would bring their A-game if a tourney berth were at stake.

This actually makes far more sense.  At least you'd have the same players still on the team that won the title.
You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Quote from: muguru
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

No.

But you should get credit for an interesting idea.
