'bout time for both. Particularly the WNIT portion. Hopefully and presumably the WNIT will receive equal funding to the MNIT.

Did not SETON HALL come in second in last years WNIT?? Will this
be a summer or an alternate to the 68 ?? team NCAA tournament (
men's and women's). Or is the NCAA just trying to "kill off" the NIT
programs? Does anyone else recall when the " NIT " winner was
the National Championship team?? When I read the BONEYARD thread
headline I thought it had something to do with Division II or Division III
but they already have their own tournaments. Sounds like this could be
the start of another separation of the MONEY / or should I say POWER
Conference schools ( put selected independents , are there any of those?)
from the rest of the WBB program school. My next hunch is that
there will be only POWER CONFERENCE SCHOOLS in some future
WNCAA and MNCAA tournament. Any ideas , insights out there??
