I am not castigating anyone for declining to play in the NIT. What needs

to be stated is what your values are going into the season. If the NIT is not valued due to risk or lack of interest, then declare your intentions at the outset of the season. Make a statement that NIL obligations and personal preferences supersede inclusion to other activities not label "NCAA Tournament" and be done with it. DO NOT allow fans to become hopeful for them to represent this university when, in fact, it is not something they did not "sign up for". Having the rug pulled out from underneath you is not a good look.

Fans really wanted to see VT play in the NIT?
GoldCoast • 03/14/26 10:47 AM ET
Yeah, I would have. That's the point, to compete, right? **
