Will we have to hang a new banner?  That just seems sad.

 

If that means we win the thing...so be it.

There's already talks that CBC > NIT. So we'll see.

 

If they can successfully steal teams away from the NIT, then that officially managed NCAA little tournament becomes a mid-major tournament.

From what I have heard we have not announced but have accepted. 

Apparently there's an NIL incentive tied into this tournament. No one knows what the incentive is though. If it goes to our collective, then it's definitely something that'll make a difference

The great irony here is that I have a work conference in Vegas that exact same week.  It looks like I will be attending the inaugural Crown tournament 

When you asked the Genie for the Huskers to be playing basketball late into March so you could watch them… you should have been more specific my guy.

I’ve heard a min of 1 million per team? Accurate?

No idea. Wish I knew, because it would be helpful. 

 

The mid season tournament in Vegas may be a similar pay out. But idk

Appears Ohio St and NW will be the B1G Crown auto qualifiers

Seems better than going to Vegas and crapping out in the first 15 minutes

We have NIT banners even when we lose in the first round not just for our one championship.  It's not like we have a lot of banners though so hanging one for the CBC won't take up too much room.  Just go win the thing I guess.

[hskr4life]

I'd venture to guess that winning a CBC will be a lot harder than one might think. A tournament made up of mostly P5 teams is going to be tough-- especially if there is $$$ on the line as many have mentioned/wondered. Sure, these will be P5 teams who finished mid to bottom of their leagues, but 4 games against P5 teams is a tall order.

Put it somewhere between our 3rd place in the Golden Window and the Foster's Farms bowl we got into because of our good grades

"After further inspection of the lodging options provided to us, the rooms were too warm."

 

- Northwestern, probably

[hskr4life]

I guess the "have to accept a bid" part isn't entirely accurate?

If you aren't in the top 2 in the conference, you don't have to play in the CBC

Wouldn't Ohio St and Northwestern be the top 2 left out of the dance?

Actually, based on the Big 10 standings, it's likely Ohio St. and Rutgers...perhaps Indiana but I think they are in.

It's based off of NET.

That was my initial thought as well-- I didn't even think it would be off of standings.

Either he thinks or hopes that either Indiana isn't going or we will jump them in the NET

That requirement went away for the NIT awhile ago.

It’s all $$$ nowadays and bigger universities are still going to draw more eyes in most instances.

The blue team from Omaha might be trying to find the bubble. Getting blasted by DePaul right now.
