Seven Pac 12 teams declined the NIT?  Interesting...

I don't think so. ESPN reported it.

things must be bad for the NIT when several sub 500 teams are declining

I'm assuming those sub 500 teams would be playing their first game on the road, if they lose then the upside of a couple of practices and one game doesn't seem all that great, and in our case we'd be without a head coach and down two players who are in the transfer portal.  I also wonder how many players opt out of NIT games like some football players do for bowl games.

if the talked about expansion of the NCAA tournament to 70-something teams happens I wonder how long the NIT can hang on....

But then would the money payout go to the TEAMS or the Pac-12?  If the Pac 12 then I get it -there's already a lawsuit active for that.  Might be more trouble than it's possibly worth.  /Lefty
