NIT rescinds invite…

[Snackbar11]

South Alabama has its NIT bid rescinded because UC Riverside at first declined their invitation, but later wanted it back cause they got out of playing in a different tournament. Now South Alabama has to tell those kids their season is over…

That is crazy. Not right

If I was one of those South Bama kids I’d be at that game heckling like a sonofabitch.

To accept or decline an invite should not be reversible. It isn't fair to other schools, teams and their fans. The NIT should at least make a play in between the two schools.

What a monumental screw up by the NIT. Its just unacceptable.

That’s ***.

Poor kids.

Why not just have a play-in game?

This actually happened to me in grad school more or less. I was offered an assistantship teaching mythology to pay my way through school. I accepted. But like two days before classes started I was told a more worthy student asked for that assistantship and was given it. Oh well.
