The NCAAT takes four more teams than it did in '95

So the "weight" is the same. You don't care about it? Fine, don't watch. The NIT is important to me and it is especially important when we are in it. You're just a downer.

Bad football teams turn down lame bowl games every year...
HokieJohn • 03/14/23 05:07 PM ET
Local media and talk show chatter in the CLT is way po'd at the Heels.**

I like this quote from Barstool's Brandon Walker
Walkin` Willie • 03/14/23 05:09 PM ET
Michigan did play in the NIT. And won Tue.**
LXNTN_HOKIE • 03/15/23 04:12 AM ET
LOL precisely!**

well, one of those teams is actually playing in the NIT, and the other team
Hokie Kev • 03/14/23 05:59 PM ET
Penders should be fined for making such a stupid statement.
Old Line Hokie • 03/14/23 02:28 PM ET
Fined for free speech. Nice look on your part. Truth is, OLH,
PhotoHokieNC • 03/14/23 04:07 PM ET
I was being facetious.
Old Line Hokie • 03/14/23 04:39 PM ET
Oh. n/m**
PhotoHokieNC • 03/14/23 05:29 PM ET
Understandable...
Old Line Hokie • 03/14/23 07:18 PM ET
Glad we can at least agree on the worthlessness of the Heels!**
PhotoHokieNC • 03/14/23 08:07 PM ET
There are a LOT of Hokies that care about the '73 and '95 NIT Titles
Walkin` Willie • 03/14/23 03:28 PM ET
NIT doesn't carry the weight it did in '95 and was a big effing deal in '73**
HokieJohn • 03/14/23 05:11 PM ET
The NCAAT takes four more teams than it did in '95 ◄
Walkin` Willie • 03/14/23 05:14 PM ET
NIT was a big deal when the NCAA only took 32 teams.**
Old Line Hokie • 03/14/23 04:38 PM ET
NIT was a big deal "to you" when the NCAA only took 32 teams.
Walkin` Willie • 03/14/23 04:54 PM ET
I've heard that they are fairly dysfunctional behind the scenes.

Locally the biggest rap was depriving underused players from experiencing

Their entire team returned from their NCAA finals team the year before so
Italian Stallion • 03/14/23 02:54 PM ET
They missed the bearded one. **
GreenvilleVT • 03/14/23 03:12 PM ET
So happy to hear that. Nobody more I'd rather be a CF than UNC
extremehokie • 03/14/23 02:05 PM ET
"fairly" is putting it lightly...

I’m here for all the Tyler Nickels. **
st_andrew • 03/14/23 01:06 PM ET
The posts I'm seeing on him is that he can't play defense.
Walkin` Willie • 03/14/23 04:52 PM ET
Tech certainly has plenty of contacts with him.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/14/23 01:08 PM ET
My son has heard two players liked the same girl
WestEndHokie39 • 03/14/23 01:01 PM ET
Same girl
Babyhook03 • 03/14/23 05:09 PM ET
the girl likes which player?... or both players?**
Windows NT • 03/14/23 04:32 PM ET
They just acknowledged what everyone knows. This is a lame tournament
WildTurkE • 03/14/23 12:36 PM ET
Next year NCAA tourney probably goes from 68 to 90 teams. Happy now?
Hokester • 03/15/23 07:11 AM ET
I just like watching the Hokies play no matter who or where or
LXNTN_HOKIE • 03/15/23 04:20 AM ET
How do you speak for "everyone"?
Walkin` Willie • 03/14/23 03:39 PM ET
Not everybody.
NC Hoke • 03/14/23 01:09 PM ET
I would have preferred that we were in the big dance. I do enjoy watching
Hokie`79 • 03/14/23 01:52 PM ET
I was there as well.
Walkin` Willie • 03/14/23 03:34 PM ET
even so- being part of NCAA requires sometimes acting in overall interest
Vippie1 • 03/14/23 12:57 PM ET
Disagree. It is like playing in a lesser bowl in football. Competition
JRHokie73 • 03/14/23 12:46 PM ET
I can't stand UNC, but this is a big ol' nothing-burger.**
reestuart • 03/14/23 12:04 PM ET
Why should the Acc help give legitimacy to the Nit?
HokiePail • 03/14/23 11:50 AM ET
I don't understand this post.
Walkin` Willie • 03/14/23 12:22 PM ET
They knew they would lose early, so why play?**
STEAMBOAT • 03/14/23 11:08 AM ET
I guess my take is that the team won't grow together if they went on an NIT
bocohoo • 03/14/23 10:00 AM ET
Are we growing together NIT. Our lineup will not be the same next season**
JackDSML • 03/14/23 01:50 PM ET
The assumption that the culture at VT is not toxic and the players
bocohoo • 03/14/23 02:53 PM ET
Did Penders complain when Georgetown and Louisville did the same thing? **
whatIpostlike • 03/14/23 09:21 AM ET
Are they leaving $$$ on the table (for the ACC) by not playing?**
DoYouLiftHokies • 03/14/23 08:57 AM ET
My guess - not nearly enough to matter.**
vtbball80 • 03/14/23 03:25 PM ET
Agree with the comment the players are running the team - not the coach.
Hokester • 03/14/23 08:42 AM ET
Karma is.......

Bottomline on unc, I don't give a Damm what they do. Bad PR or controversy
