It is outlived its usefulness. Retire it, expand the NCAA's. Why?
Look at all the opt outs for the football bowl games. Sure, they are "meaningless" (like the NIT) but some, like our Peach Bowl actually had meaning. So if you have stars opting out for those games, and now 2, 3, 5 7 guys opting out, it really damages the credibility of the bowl game's result.
Now lets take this to the NIT. If you have 2-3 starters opting out, you have KJ Marshall and Aiden Frisch starting or seeing big minutes. While great for them, it is absolutely a joke and basically as relevant as a pickup game.
This is college sports now. We might not like it, but either accept or..........don't follow the sport.
