20 of the 32 teams in the CIT have been selected with 10 pairings announced. That leaves 12 teams to be selected and 6 games to be scheduled. From the Southland, Sam Houston is selected. They will play Jackson State. Interesting that Texas A&M Corpus Christi is not selected yet. They were second to Stephen F. Austin which was undefeated in the Southland. Corpus Christi had a 15 and 3 record in SLC play and has some quality guards. They may be in the CBIT but I am not sure of that.

The Islanders (25-7, 15-3 Southland) have a veteran team (eight seniors), strong guards and a potent forward combo in 6-7 Southland defensive player of the year Rashawn Thomas (17 ppg/8 rpg) and 6-7 Bryce Douvier (10 ppg/7 rpg). SR G Hameed Ali (11 ppg/5 apg) and SO G Ehab Amin (9 ppg) are stellar defenders. SR G Brandon Pye (10 ppg) is a one of the nation's top 3-point shooters. They rank among the nation's steals leaders and are the only Southland team to beat three-time defending SLC tournament champion Stephen F. Austin in the last three years ('Jacks are 59-1 vs. conference foes in that span; Islanders beat them last season). I saw them play in-person in the SLC tourney semifinals vs. Sam Houston State. Quality team coached by former Rice HC Willis Wilson. They'll have the guard advantage and Long vs. Thomas will be a good one.

I understand what you are saying, but you are fronting $50K with the hopes of recouping as you advance, that my friend is buy in. It may not be the term people want to use or hear, but it's the same as buying into an investment, just with the promise of a better return. If it wasn't a buy in then you would not be fronting $50K to host a game unlike the NIT.

T-how is this different from the lower tier bowl games such as New Orleans Bowl--we only make money/cover our cost based on tickets sold.

I am not T, but it is different in the sense that there are alternatives in basketball which do NOT require a buy-in. There are none in football.

Win 80% of your games in hoops and you will likely be in either the NCAA or the NIT. Win 80% of your football games and you will be in a bowl that your only source of income is ticket sales.

As VO stated, all bowl games require you to pay for a ticket allotment up front. But, you are not paying to host a game and you are not being rewarded for being one of the top 60 programs in the country. Again, I have no problem playing the game to reward the fans and players if it pays for itself. But let's not pretend it's not a buy in to a tournament.

can you honestly say the ticket sales requirement for bowl is not technically a buy-in?
