Agree - there's momentum to keep playing now when you're fresh off BET games and the mindset is to keep playing, but having to wait a couple weeks is tough. The players probably thought they'd be playing sooner which is why they initially said they wanted to keep playing.
Seton Hall Declines Postseason
- Thread starter Piratz
- Start date
By the first week of April, after no games for three weeks, I‘m on to baseball.
It’s pretty pathetic that SHU gets invited to play in something that FOX is promoting and says no. But wants Fox to support the conference. Like who the heck is SHU to turn down anything??
isnt this brand new tourney half as big as last yr? Start date is riduliculous
If it's not suitable, TBEC should tell her so and not let her sign up. These other big time schools and conferences are living up to the deal. And the players are pros so they have agreed to play, If you make a deal, you do it to the maximum. That's the way you do business and this sure is a business. Seton Hall should be grateful for the opportunity Fox has presented them.

Everything has gotten so fragmented, our 2024 NIT run was probably the last of an era. Why risk the injuries if you’re the players going to be FA’s in exhibition play like this?
I appreciate the season we had in the context of where we were last year. We had excitement. We got ranked. We were relevant. It was disappointing that we ended just 10-10 in the BE with so many near wins against top teams, but hey, cest la vie.
Looking forward to next season already with renewed confidence the program can compete.

It ended long before 2024. 2024 had something like 8 teams jump ship. Oklahoma and SJU would've been 1 seeds. Players went from no say to too much say. The swinging of the pendulum has made the fan experience 1000 times worse.
The playing dates fit into the window when the NCAA tournament isn't playing. That is FOX's only consideration.
This is all true. The question is what does the contract say? Are the players required to play in a post season tournament? Are there financial penalties if a player develops (dare I say) general soreness right before the game? What if certain players have it written into their contracts that post season play is discretionary? Would Seton Hall not sign a player if the player told you up front it's NCAAorbust? The players have a seat at the table now.
If anybody deserves blame it is FOX. After years of very obvious and major decline in post season tournaments in both basketball and football it’s their fault for throwing money at a basically dead platform.
