Isn’t this NIT. I thought people projected us to the Crown. Is Crown chosen before NIT?

I'm just now learning there is a tournament called the crown.

I'm just now learning there is a tournament called the crown.

Yeah me too. I don’t totally understand it. I think it’s only 16 teams. I thought someone said it was better than NIT, but I honestly have no clue.

It’s put on by Fox for conferences that use them basically, so B1G, Big 12, and ACC I think? 16 teams in Vegas. Payout pool for NIL. That’s why the NIT is turning into a glorified mid major tourney this year

Announced a year ago. The thought was, too many (bigger name) programs were passing on the NIT so FOX Sports guaranteed the B1G, Big East & B12 their top 2 teams left out of the NCAA tournament are guaranteed a spot in the Crown.

Indiana & Ohio State would be the top 2 left out and neither are listed in the NIT. Next in order are Rutgers, Ioa, Minnesota then Nebraska. Breaking it down; Indiana, Ioa & Minnesota don't have a Head Coach so my assumption is the next 2 would be Rutgers & Nebraska.

After the 6 guaranteed above, 10 at-large will be selected.

The NCAA only protects the NCAA tournament. In other words, a team invited to the NCAA tournament can't turn down a spot to play in another post-season tournament. The NIT isn't covered by this, so teams can turn down the NIT & accept a spot in the Crown tournament.

The Crown tournament starts & ends within a week, all played in Vegas and on FOX or FS1

• First round: Monday, March 31 and Tuesday, April 1
• Second round: Wednesday, April 2 and Thursday, April 3
• Semifinals: Saturday, April 5 (1:30 p.m. ET and 4 p.m. ET)
• Final: Sunday, April 6 (5:30 p.m. ET)

Rutgers has also said they won't play NIT or Crown:

 

[HuskerGarrett]

Where would SEC teams left out go then? Doesn’t seem like the NIT or the Crown?

Only TWO sec schools didn’t make the NCAA tournament, South Carolina and LSU. My guess is they are just going to be done

 

[RedDeanRedemption]

We’ll definitely be in if we want to. I’m guessing they’re struggling to get 12 teams to commit and that’s why they haven’t released a bracket yet.

Where would they go if they did have teams that wanted in though?

 

[nscottie]

Yeah Indiana, Rutgers and Northwestern announced they were done. Not sure but Ohio State may have also

 

[Dr.DrakeRamoray]

Where would they go if they did have teams that wanted in though?

They likely would have been in the NIT over like a San Jose State, their is also the CBI and CIT. I’d almost guaranteed they got invites to 1 of the three but turned it down

Actually CIT May not even be around anymore

 

[PonyBoy]

Back to the trailer park.

Read somewhere SEC is tied to NIT.
