Fox Sports is exploring the possibility of creating a new men’s college basketball tournament in Las Vegas. The tournament would feature the 16 best teams from the Big Ten, Big 12, and Big East conferences that didn’t make the NCAA Tournament. The proposed tournament would be a direct competitor to the National Invitational Tournament (NIT) and would be broadcasted on Fox. Although the plans are not yet finalized, this new tournament could offer an exciting opportunity for power-conference schools that missed out on the Big Dance.
