True. A fair number of schools apparently turned it down. On the Scoop board, someone in the Texas A+M board said that it was a close call there, and in the end, they decided to let the team keep playing. I expect hosting the NCAA tournament made it difficult this year, but I suspect that most years, it would just be more trouble than it is worth. These tournaments are not bad if your team never gets to go anywhere, or if you are rebuilding a program, but they are no great deal either. The CIT at least gives mid-majors a place to play among similar teams. I am not sure the CBI is going to last.
