various opinions. My opinion was then and is now that only an NIT championship is clearly on par with an NCAA berth, even with a round 1 exit.

Do teams ever opt out of the NCAA? Easy answer.

This is the obvious point that kills any other argument for NIT.

As a fan, it’s more fun to watch your team play and win a bunch more games

NCAA indicates you've had a successful season. NIT is about growing success in the future.

NCAA’s better than playing for 65th best team in the country.

1st round always in any situation. Easy.

I wonder if the NIT could ever implement first or 2nd round tourney losers?

Outside of Jimmer, I've enjoyed BYU's NIT runs a lot more than their NCAA games

Would you rather: make the CFP but lose, or win the kitkat bowl outright?

Do you get a lifetime supply of Kitkats if you win the Kitkat bowl?

I love more basketball but now that we're in the Big 12 I want to make the dance

It's way more exciting to watch my favorite team play more games than lose one.

Tough call actually. Anticipation of big dance is amazing.
