Fox Sports in Negotiations to Hold a New Men’s College Basketball Tournament in Las Vegas in Late March (Exclusive)
The field would include the top 16 teams from the Big East, Big Ten and Big 12 that didn't make the NCAA tournament; they’d be required to decline NIT invitations
Fox Sports is in negotiations with several power conferences to hold a postseason men’s basketball tournament in Las Vegas featuring teams that did not qualify for the NCAA tournament, multiple sources told The Messenger.
Discussions are ongoing, but the current vision is for the event to include 16 teams that would play at T-Mobile Arena during the final week of March following the NCAA tournament’s Elite Eight games. If the tournament happens, Fox plans to encourage its corporate partners to set up Name, Image and Likeness deals for players who are competing; the network will not be able to pay players directly due to NCAA rules.
