If a Big 12 fan isn’t calling it P1 basketball they’re doing it wrong.
Didn’t think about it but Iowa may get pushed to permanent NIT with the expansion. That is where they are this year and it looks tough for them to gain ground now.
Do P6 programs still have to have .500 record for NIT or is that no longer required? I could easily see Iowa finishing at 15-16 and then going 0-1 or 1-1 in conf tourney to wind up below .500.
That's really dumb. But it isn't any more dumb than Big 10 and SEC fans calling their leagues P2. The money is the only real difference between those leagues and a league like the Big 12.
I call it P1 because it’s been the best conference by metrics for 14 of the past 15 years. Because it’s actually a full level above the minor conferences, not because of money.
Yeah, but the P2 comment only has money as a significant differentiator. There may have been quite a few more SEC playoff appearances but the middle and bottom of that league is no better than the Big 12's middle and bottom. The Big 10 is even closer to the Big 12 in those respects. And how much of that difference in playoff appearances is due to media bias rather than actual play on the field?
There was a talking head on the other day and he commented on, "How do we judge a league? By the number of championship contenders." like it is a given and the only way to judge the strength of a league. And he was judging the toughest league in the country - the Big 12 - on only their top teams. If a league has one top team and the rest of the league is just below championship contender status is that a worse league than one that has two contenders and the rest of the league is absolute trash? Of course not.
Is an apartment building better if it has one luxury apartment and the other 19 apartments are rat infested **** holes rather than a building that has 20 clean, well kept, upper middle class apartments? Of course not.
And the Sunday 4-page section was three pages comics and the back page a big USA today ad. Lost some advertising $ there, but who cares what the people think.
Nope new NIT rules for this year. Top 2 NET ranking teams from each P6 that didn’t make the tourney automatically qualify for the NIT.
NIT Board announces changes to NIT and use of experimental rules
The NIT has announced a number of changes to the tournament format, including the selection process, court regulations and timeout policy.

Hawks coverage...Beetle Bailey...sometimes it is difficult to differentiate the two.
Let's give them the benefit of the doubt and say B1G gets six teams (Purdue, Ill, Mich St, Wiscy, NW, Neb) in the dance. That leaves Minny, Penn St, Indiana, Ohio St, Rutgers, Maryland and Iowa all battling for the next two spots (everyone but Mich). Iowa currently is 7th in B1G NET so would be in today. However, if they do go 2-5 or 1-6 down the stretch, they most likely will drop below #8 and not auto qualify for NIT. CBI here they come!Nope new NIT rules for this year.

Pretty disingenuous to compare average ticket price to actual for a rivalry game and attribute it solely to CC.
Those two spots are automatic qualifiers, the Big Ten likely gets more than 2 in the NIT. There isn’t a ton of bracketology for the NIT but the couple of sites I’ve seen has 4-5 of them in.

If Hokroaches are willing to pay that much then why not capitalize on it and jack prices up.
