"Fox and AEG Announce College Basketball Crown Tournament as NIT Rival"
Fox Sports and AEG are teaming up to launch a new postseason college basketball tournament called the College Basketball Crown, featuring 16 teams and taking place in Las Vegas from March 31 to April 6, 2025. Teams that do not qualify for the NCAA tournament will be eligible, with automatic entries for the Big Ten, Big 12, and Big East conferences. The tournament is expected to be a major competitor to the National Invitation Tournament (NIT), with the NCAA making changes to the NIT selection process this season to include more teams from power-six conferences.
