I have no idea. Maybe someone that hasn't been determined yet.

Just so you know the cost to Host a game in the CIT:

"We charge $31,500," said Riley Wallace, the chairman of the CIT selection committee. "The CBI is more expensive and charges $80,000 to $100,000 for its host teams in the semis and finals."

Interesting quote from Nance today:
Jim Nantz as he is doing the Play-by-Play for the Michigan/Ohio St. game. "That as much notoriety as "The Fab Five" gave Michigan; that same group KILLED the program for the next two decades, as I was around to see the damage? With all the NCAA sanctions and penalties........."

I would not be surprised to learn that David Miller emptied his change jar and paid the ante.

Wonder if Wallace called JJ and asked him to run the idea by Doh

Come on, they've been talking to the CIT for a month. No doubt Riley and JJ are boys, though

Here's a little tidbit I just learned. Creighton is torn between CBI and CIT. IF they choose CIT, and we win in the first round, we'd be in Omaha in Rd 2. Possibilities like that are why these tourneys are great & fun for programs like us. That game was mentioned to me as a possibility over 2 weeks ago. Still think Creighton goes CBI
