NCAA Considers Adding 96 Teams to NIT

With the NIT struggling to get attention, committee members are considering increasing the number of teams from 32 to 96. If there are more teams in the tournament, there will be more fans who have a rooting interest in the completely meaningless tournament.

However, some don't want the NIT to expand. "Letting teams into the NIT just for the heck of it would defeat the whole purpose of it" said a random coach from a Mid-Level team that goes to the NIT each year. "The NIT rewards teams who play well all year to make the NIT."
