Could be worse, we could be having Indiana's troubles

Nixed by the NIT! Quote from the AD, "We're Indiana. We don't play in the CBI." Wow, at least we don't have to have THAT press conference! Remember the IU fan in the dome who took off her cloths when we beat them. I wonder what the heck she's doing now in response to this article!

I was just going to post this before I saw you did. Quote of the year - "We're Indiana. We don't play in the CBI." - well then maybe you should be good enough to make the freaking NIT.

It's a pretty awful thing to say. That means they will never get invited to the CBI again!

"We're Pitt, the CBI is our bitch."

Totally disrespectful response by the AD. You respectfully decline the invitation behind the scenes.

Tell the media, that after fully assessing the situation the CBI is not the right thing for our program right now.

People will know why you declined, but you don't come off as an arrogant AD / program in public ... the last thing you want to do is appear arrogant coming off a year you are not good enough for the NIT.

A program like Indiana shouldn't be playing in those tournaments, they are for teams like James Madison or Rutgers. I would expect Gross to decline the cbi if we were ever in that situation.

Well, they can kiss this season good-bye!

I don't think its disrespectful to turn down the CBI

I think its disrespectful to act arrogant about turning it down in the media. Is it that hard for the AD to take the high road?

If an AD lacks the mental capabilities to handle a simple media situation without embarassing the school, no wonder the program is struggling.
