https://shorturl.at/BITX2 NCAA Announced Major Changes to the NIT and the College Hoops World Is Not Happy PATRICK ANDRESOCT 27, 2023 NCAA 宣布要改變補償大賽的選擇規則 大學籃球圈對於這樣的改變不是很開心 The NIT is an ancient, if slightly notorious, college basketball tradition. Every year fans of NCAA tournament-bound schools serenade their rivals with chants of "N-I-T," likely oblivious to the fact that the historic tournament predates its larger, more prestigious cousin. NIT 是具有歷史但又有點爭議的大學籃球傳統 每年沒有入選瘋狂三月的球隊 總會在客場被球迷以 N-I-T 的口號招待 However, on Friday college basketball fans mobilized to defend the staple of March Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Traditionally, the NIT field automatically includes any team that wins its conference's regular-season title but does not qualify for the NCAA tournament—historically a boon for mid- and low-majors. 大學籃球的主管單位要改變 對於過去 NIT 的邀請規定 其中取消小聯盟的季賽冠軍的保送資格引起最大的反應 In 2024, that will change. The field will now guarantee berths to 12 teams from the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Big East, Pac-12 and SEC regardless of record, and will extend no such courtesy to low-major regular-season champions. 2024 的三月 NIT 將會保障六大聯盟 12 名額 取消過去邀請 小聯盟季賽冠軍卻沒有進入瘋三的球隊的傳統 The move proved wildly unpopular with college basketball writers and fans already scarred by football-centric realignment. 這個舉措讓主跑大學籃球的記者和球迷感到不滿 因為最近聯盟的重組都是圍繞著大學 Football Many expressed that the move displayed a fundamental misunderstanding of the NIT's appeal to fans and schools. 很多人認為這違反了大學籃球季後賽吸引觀眾的基本原則 Dissatisfaction with college sports's money-chasing direction reigned. 更多不滿大學籃球決策更商業化 The revamped NIT was frequently framed as a reaction to rumblings that Fox would attempt to stage a postseason tournament on its family of networks. 這項變動被指出有可能是因為福斯傳媒想想打造季後賽的舞台 MAC commissioner Jon Steinbrecher directly attacked the new policy. 小聯盟中大西洋聯盟的會長 毫不諱言地批評這項政策 Doomsaying ran rampant as some wondered whether the NCAA was setting up future protections for power conferences in other tournaments. NCAA 這項變革很明顯是為保護大聯盟球隊 Bad teams that would've qualified for past NITs under the new rules were flagged. 對於有可能被邀請打 NIT 的球隊是值得被關注的一件事 Some fans focused on the fact that the NIT's selection procedures, once fairly straightforward, were now just plain difficult to understand. 現在許多球迷對於 NIT 選委會的邀請模式更感困惑 The reality that the NIT's changes were instituted a year after North Texas beat UAB to win it did not go unnoticed. 在去年北德州大學和阿拉巴馬賓漢頓分校的冠軍賽結束後做出這項改革 NCAA 實施新政策的東擊很難不讓人懷疑 --
