Talk:2016 College Basketball Invitational

Pay-to-Play?
Most teams from the "high-major" conferences do not participate in this tournament, even if invited to do so. I have heard that this is because it costs them so much. Does this mean that the participating teams are charged a high entry fee, or that the tournament generates so little money that the teams lose money on the costs to participate, particularly (one would assume) the travel costs? Or both? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1004:B15D:B6F9:4C7:1FAC:1B38:290E (talk) 00:21, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
