The 2026 CBI Tournament is canceled. The College Insider Tournament, which has been an equalizer for mid and low majors, for the second year, doesn't look like there're staging a tournament. Has the CIT become extinct like The ECAC Basketball Tournament? The NIT was once a great alternative for unselected NCAA Tournament have debased themselves and is no longer worth the invite. These low and mid major teams should decline The NIT and force them to further degrade themselves with losing teams. With the hopes of them coming back to their senses by giving auto bids to regular season "champions". This as turned Men's Ivy Basketball in to what football used to be, Winner -Take- All. Looks like Ivy Football and Men's BB have switched places.

There is also the College Basketball Crown event for 8 lucky participants (down from 16 last year).

I don't envision The Fox CBC Tournament having any interest with The Ivy League or any other team outside of the six main conferences.

LOL Deserving.

The idea that there is any method to determing most "deserving" teams in a tournament which already has decided NOT to take the 64 best teams, because it insists on taking the champions of the little sisters of the poor conferences is a joke. Not one Ivy team is capable of winning the NCAA tournament, let alone make it to weekend #3. So why not use a format that breathes life into fanbases and rosters across the conference?

The truth is, if you really wanted to watch the most "deserving" teams play for the title, they would almost all be Power 4 and Big East teams.
