Topic:  What is the financial structure of the CIT? Author Message giacomo General User Member Since: 11/20/2007 Post Count: 2,734 Status: Offline     What is the financial structure of the CIT?    Posted: 3/16/2011 9:37:09 AM  Does anyone know what these games cost us to play? I know we get money for playing in the NCAA, but I'm not sure about the NIT and these other tourneys.

Since Ohio will probably be a host team in the quarterfinals, I think they'll be on the hook for the $31,500 less whatever ticket revenue can be generated.

Even more priceless. They did bring in 4,000 or so fans. Tickets were $13, $15 or $21-- $5 for students. So they probably made at least enough to cover the cost.

From what I've read, you pay every time you host a game in the CIT or CBI. Before the NIT was bought by the NCAA, the NIT used to take a cut of the gate so you were in essence paying to be in the NIT as well. Not sure how the NIT operates now but I'd have to think they somehow get a taste of the gig. Follow Ohio Football recruiting on the BobcatAttack.com football recruiting database.

Besides, it's within the budget. Follow Ohio Football recruiting on the BobcatAttack.com football recruiting database.

WKNR 850 Cleveland was discussing Kent State's and Cleveland State's NIT victories and said that both had put in "bids" to host second-round games.

That doesn't make any sense for the NIT (but Rizzo, Roda, Goldhammer aren't exactly known for making a ton of sense).  They don't rebracket every round like in the past, so you just play whoever is on the other line and the higher seed hosts.  Only exception would be if the higher seed is inacapable of hosting (for example, Dayton was a 3 seed but the First Four forced them to play it at 6 seed Charleston). Thus, Kent plays at Fairfield unless Fairfield can't host, and Cleveland St. gets Charleston at home unless they refuse it.

Maybe each team just has to basically said they would be willing to host (and a lot of times they wouldn't have the chance unless the higher seed opted against it because of scheduling or financial reasons). At any rate, it seems the CIT charges a small enough amountfor hosting that you stand a reasonable chance of making a profit. I'd certainly be in favor of hosting and plan to attend if we are home on Tuesday night (although I would not be able to make it Monday).
