BOSTON (AP)—A new men’s postseason basketball tournament has been scheduled in March by CollegeInsider.com for 16 teams not chosen for the NCAA and NIT tournaments.

It announced Monday that the single-elimination tournament will be held at campus sites with teams chosen by a 14-member committee that includes nine former college head coaches.

To be eligible, teams must have a winning record against Division I opponents. Priority will be given to schools whose conferences have fewer than half their teams in the NCAA and NIT. CollegeInsider.com said the NCAA and National Association of Basketball Coaches have been consulted and are aware of the tournament guidelines.

Another 16-team tournament, the College Basketball Invitational, began last year with Tulsa beating Bradley in the best-of-three championship series.

bad idea it loses the value of post season play. Look at college football there are way too many bowl games now and its just silly. We have 1 too many post season tournaments as is.

making the nit smaller was a disgusting idea.
this is the natural aftermath.

This is not a bad thing it gives kids a chance to play after the season and we could make it

and we'll get good press out of it, even if we have to write the article ourselves.

We'll have to have a winning record to get in any post season tourny. Think we can do that?

We won't make this tournament.  Sorry dude.  They would have to make at least two more tournaments for us to even have a chance.
