WBB NCAA Selection Party at CLA

There is a slim possibility that the NCAA could go back to "merit-based" hosting for the women's sites . The sites for 2014 have not been announced yet while the NCAA reevaluates . Here is an article about Springfield, Mass which is waiting to see if their bid will be accepted for 2014 .

The NIT isn't an official NCAA tournament. The NIT is smart enough to not mix politics and sports.

I think it is crap that the NCAA does this when selecting tournament sites. It completely invalidates their reasoning for supporting the NAACP boycott when they allow merit-based hosting like in baseball but don't allow selected tournament sites like in basketball.

Yes the NIT is an official NCAA tournament. They bought them like 3 years ago and totally changed the way it was run.
