This passage is inaccurate: "The post-season tournament pre-dates the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship tournament by one year; in the tournaments' early years there was often some contention as to which champion was in fact the nation's best collegiate basketball team." During the 1940s, the NIT was unquestionably more prestigious than the NCAA tournament. Over the course of the 1950s, the NCCA tournament gradually overtook the NIT, and by the early 1960s the NCAA had become the dominant tournament. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.59.204.130 (talk)

[edit] Clarification
Teams that win their conference after the reg season and fail to make the NCAA Tournament are automatically invited to the NIT. ...But what about teams that own a share/tie of the conference title after the reg season and fail to make the NCAA Tournament... Do they to automatically make the NIT also? (e.g. Rider in 2008 who tied with Siena). 172.129.221.16 (talk) 01:31, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Vacated titles
In 1997, 1998 & 2003, the champion's titles where later vacated. Wouldn't that make the runners-up the champions? --rogerd (talk) 16:46, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
