Since the NCAA now owns the NIT, it would make sense for them match up some of these bubble teams who do not make it into the NCAA tourney in first round games of the NIT. Why not send Maryland to MSU or vice versa or send Creighton to Seton Hall or vice versa. Since Gary Williams will not schedule games with quality mid majors unless they are played at the Comcast Center in College Park. Williams will not schedule either GW or George Mason who are in their own back yard.

maybe....they always need help selling the tickets for NIT games.....this could add some hype......and 40 teams make it.....man that is a lot in my mind, just thinking that 105 teams will play past their regular season and conference tournaments.....

i posted the procedure for selecting the NCAA tournament on TCondon's bracket prediction page and i just saw a very, very similar procedure listed on the NIT website......NCAA really making changes......it will still be an afterthought, but will still get me through to each of the next three weekends!Comment

They seed the NIT now and the top seeds get home games. I don't think they would give an ISU a top seed just for attendence. So teams like Maryland would not play a MVC till later in tourny.Comment

Keep in mind there could be about 14 teams that aren't very good that get into the NIT by winning thier conference. More than likely these teams will be the bottom half of the seeding.Comment
