NIT - Time to hang it up

Is there anything more meaningless than the NIT? In the "old days" the NIT was on an equal footing to the NCAA tournament but now it's just the losers bracket for post season college basketball. If your team wasn't good enough to make the field of 65 - then just call it a season.

The NIT should reinvent themselves as a pre-season tournament (which they have to some extent) and also maybe a holiday tournament (between Christmas and New Years). The holiday tournament would be a nice trip to NYC for many clubs and there wouldn't be too much sports competition on TV (just early season NBA, NHL and lower tier bowl games).

Whatever they do - they should end the post season tournament. It's time has come and gone already.
