The NIT is like non playoff bowl games...................meaningless lol.
I totally disagree with that. There are several really nice bowls that do mean something. The Outback / citrus ect are not meaningless bowls and are nowhere near similar. I think it really hurts the sport and a lot of players to carry an attitude that non playoff bowls are totally meaningless. I understand there are quite a few that are, but we need to take the first crop outside of playoff bowls serious because there are teams in the best conferences that get shafted due to the competitiveness of their league and their bowl is just as good as a team in the playoff. Example, Louisville in a playoff spot is not as impressive as U.K. in the citrus.
And those arent close to similar to the NIT. The NIT literally means you didn’t make the real post season.
