NIT going back to Conf champ going to NIT if they dont get a bid. Only stipulation is a ranking higher than 125

the other change is this which is huge and gives incentive for Conf to be in top 12. So if the regualar season champ also wins the tourney there is still a chance to get second team from SoCon in

In addition, the top team not selected to the NCAA championship from the top 12 conferences (based on the Ken Pomeroy Rating) will receive an exempt bid to the NIT

Good news.

Good!

Our aspirations shouldn't be for the NIT. It's a meaningless tournament for second best teams.

NIT is not our aspirations of course, Sweet Sixteen is the next goal (and if we keep Richey here then at some point we will get there)

However, I would rather have the NIT to fall back on if something goes wrong at the end of a good season, as opposed to the alternative which is nothing...
