Is it time to say goodbye to the NIT?

As of this week it appears the SEC (Sankey) and at least one B10 coach (Izzo) want the power conferences to also control the NCAA hoop tournament. Both stating that giving out auto berths to any mid major should be done away with or looked at. Izzo went as far as saying fans don't like "upsets" overall... maybe it is exciting in an opening round, but fans grow less enamored later on.

It seems the NCAA best put it's foot down HARD and stamp out any early movement for major change to make it similar to the CFP. It's the biggest money maker they have and they best not lose control of it. The NIT concept is exactly what should happen in football. Band the G5 and have not P4 teams that want and have their own "CFC"... I have to believe once that movement began there would be a solid media deal that would be far better (would not take much) than the current proposed dispersals.

Combine with the unity, and CFC teams could also put a limit on playing P5 teams... maybe schedule one per year per school.
