Apparently UGA is also getting Derrion Reid??! Bama fans are pissed. Don’t know if that’s a positive or negative for us getting Rooths.

I’m back on A&M’s bandwagon now that they’re not playing 2x NPOY had he come to Michigan Jalen Pickett.

Hope all these programs banking on two-time transfers being eligible were honest with themselves about what their rosters would look like without them.

I hope they were honest with the kids and didn’t convince them they had a great waiver chance.

It appears that’s clearly not what happened and now they’re whining to their AG and saying the ncaa lied to them

NIT Changes:
For the 2024 NIT, conference regular season champions that do not win their conference tournament or are not otherwise selected to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship will not receive an automatic bid to the NIT. Instead, the NIT will guarantee two teams (based on the NET rankings) from each of six conferences (Atlantic Coast, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and Southeastern). The top two teams in the NET rankings not qualifying for the NCAA men’s basketball tournament from each conference, regardless of won-loss record, will be selected. Additionally, the 12 teams automatically selected will be guaranteed the opportunity to host a game in the first round of the NIT.
Once the 12 automatic qualifying schools have been selected, the NIT Committee will select the 20 best teams available to complete the tournament’s 32-team field. Based on the NIT Committee’s evaluation, the best four teams of the 20 at-large teams selected will complete the 16 first round hosts, with deference given to the “first four teams out” of the Division I Men’s Basketball Championship, as determined by the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball. Additional teams from the six conferences with AQs are eligible to be selected as at-large teams and can be selected as hosts.
So the mid major teams who actually want to play in a postseason get screwed over.
Unfortunately, I think things will only get worse for the little guy when they eventually expand the NCAA tournament too.
This makes sense from a TV/ratings perspective and sucks from a basketball perspective. I’ve always thought that regular season champs should get the auto bid for the NCAAT because that would normally mean better teams are getting into the tourney and thus more potential upsets and cinderellas (theoretically). But that would have a massive impact on TV revenue for Championship week(s) for those low and mid major conferences because the conference tourneys would be less interesting for neutrals.
