NIT not organized shameful

If UC Riverside accepted both an NIT and CBI invitation, they are not without blame here. The NCAA would never do this but they ought to have South Alabama play UC Riverside in a "play-in" game for the right to then meet Santa Clara the next night. I highly doubt this would negatively impact the "sanctity" of the NIT Tournament. Who cares? What a disgrace to rescind an invitation, especially to a school who was 21-11, tied for first in their conference, and to whom post-season play likely meant something.
