Feels like we're going to end up there unless we sweep this week and land in the BET Championship or something crazy.

Question is: Don't they offer an NIL payment to the winner? Think I read was $300k?

Watch us be 0/4 in making the NCAAT in 4 seasons with Holloway, but we win the NIT and the The Crown, LMAO!

I don’t understand how they’ll convince the players with no eligibility left or guys that know they aren’t returning to participate. Is it a 3 on 3 tournament?

Last year Butler turned down the NIT to go to the Crown. NIT finals were played at Butler's Hinkle Fieldhouse. Strange. All games at Crown drew about 20,000 total. Finals drews 3000 plus. Apparently you can't decline Crown in favor of NIT.

The College Basketball Crown (CBC) is a postseason men's basketball tournament launched in 2025 by FOX Sports and AEG, featuring 8 to 16 Division I teams that did not qualify for the NCAA Tournament. Held in Las Vegas at venues like the MGM Grand Garden Arena and T-Mobile Arena, it offers high-stakes competition with significant NIL prize money, such as the $300,000 package for the 2025 winner.

  • Structure:It is a single-elimination tournament featuring teams primarily from major conferences like the Big Ten, Big 12, and Big East
    .
    • Purpose: It acts as a competitive alternative to the NIT, focusing on providing postseason opportunities for top-tier, non-NCAA tournament teams.
    • Location & Broadcasting: All games are held in Las Vegas and aired on FOX and FS1.
    • Expansion/Reduction: While starting with 16 teams, the tournament adjusted to 8 teams for its second year in 2026.

The biggest issue I have with this tournament is that it doesn’t start until April 1. I’d rather start working on the portal asap.
