[QUOTE="IlliniFan42, post: 2059134, member: 750522"] This whole response doesn't make sense. A lot of student athletes are students in name only at this point. Sports is their chance to make some money, more national exposure means more opportunities to make money. The NIT is for smaller conferences not by design, but because it is a financial wash to compete in it. If people want to see P5 schools compete in a consolation tournament, why shouldn't one exist that makes financial sense to participate in? [/QUOTE]
