    The biggest scam of all is the Strength of Schedule argument because SOS is 75% of the RPI formula.

    Re: nit

    This is the biggest scam to me...

    Auto NIT Bids with lower RPIs than Tech
    85. Weber St.
    109. Troy
    138. Coastal Carolina
    140. Quinnipiac
    143. Stony Brook
    144. Jacksonville
    199. Jackson St.

    I had no idea the NIT had auto bids. That's just crazy.

    I want to say it was part of the court ordered settlement when the NCAA acquired the NIT from the group that controlled it
    ''Don't be a bad dagh..."

    If I remember correctly, the mandate was the the NIT had to take conference winners that were beaten out in their conference tourney. It's basically a way to ensure that conference champions regardless of RPI are given the chance to play in the post season, thus the NIT doesn't become a "what's left" from the "Big 6" conferences.
