CBI field?

Oh to be a fly on the wall in that meeting.

 

i ammended it to an hour and a half ago that was the situation. Not sure what's going on now.

 

I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to be snide. That's just as much help as I could give.

 

I know you weren't trying to be snide and I was just letting you know we already tried that. I'm watching the tournament's web site and our writer is still hanging with the coach (I hope) awaiting word.

 

My guess is there's some bluffsmanship going on -- any BCS-conference teams eligible to play are probably telling the CBI, "you just forget about that $60,000 fee, maybe we'll think about it."

 

Utah is in and the SLTrib implies that Seton Hall, Nevada and UTEP are probables

Wikipedia had a list up but just took it down.

Here's some that I remember:
Virginia, Brown, Houston, UNC-Wilmington, Utah

 

If you've got the money, what's the harm in playing in this thing? More practice for next season, if nothing else. Hell ... don't play your seniors, and start on next season. Or go the other route and play some senior walk-ons who busted their ass for four seasons. Why not?

Providence, Rhode Island - After posting a school record 19 wins, the Brown men's basketball team has accepted an invitation to compete in the inaugural College Basketball Invitational (CBI). The pairings for the tournament will be announced later this evening.

 

Yep, it was taken down, but somebody just posted that "Clemmons Middle School defeats UVagina 90-40"

Wiseguys.

Clock's ticking, CBI, you've got 2 minutes to fulfill that promise of announcing the bracket on March 16.

 

List back up.

Brown, Wagner, UNC-Wilmington, Southern Miss, Houston, Richmond, Utah, Nevada, Seton Hall, UTEP, Bradley, Ohio, IUPUI, and Virginia
