We should have declined this. Especially when it turned out we'd play away to Orlando. I'd just no show the game without any notice now. We've been made a mockery of

So I see Mississippi, Pitt and St. John’s have already announced they won’t accept NIT invitations. Collegiate sports . . . what to make of it? No thanks to postseason bids, players opting out of bowl

So by that logic, if we can't win the NCAA championship, no other championship is worth pursuing? I will remember (and most USF fans will remember) if we win the NIT, and that's all I care about.

I'm sure the players would still want to keep playing,

So, why wouldn't a NIT Championship matter? It's not a JV trophy at all. There are some really great teams in that bracket. Not the least of which is our Bulls.

Because 99.9% of sports fans can’t tell you who won the NIT last year. Not saying there aren’t some good teams, but it’s pretty much the best of the leftovers.

Sorry man can’t get excited about the NIT like you. Wasn’t saying it wouldn’t be good for USF. Do you know if we will actually make money off the NIT?

I’m just upset that I finally thought USF could pull off the conference championship. Now we are stuck with Oviedo. Just a disappointing end.

I guess for basketball it’s not as big of a deal if we have to travel further after this. It’s not like football and traveling with 100 plus players and staff.

This isn't thirty years ago, it's a new era in college sports, whether we like it or not and championships matter to these kids.

They absolutely do ..... and they couldn't give a **** what anyone else or even some of their own high falootin' fans think.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
