It is just a reward for a team that could go undefeated in the conference regular season and on one night have a bad game and lose in the conference tournament. I would rather see a team that went 28-5 get in over a team that goes 17-15 and have a losing conference record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of agree with Scott on this one. This isn't like Duke, UNC, KU, MSU, or UK paying, I mean playing, to win the MAC. Usually the teams in the same conference recruit at a fairly similar level and you have to play the teams on your schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't look it up but I wonder how many mid-majors have won the NIT or how many have even gotten to NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
