Will the tickets be available to non-season ticket holders?

We’re actually able to host this tourney in Starkville? It must be operated differently than the last tourney we had to “host” in Birmingham?

Last tourney we hosted was in Starkville. NIT two years ago.

The NIT is not played on predetermined sites. I believe it’s considered a reward for the season much like hosting baseball regionals.
Wasn’t it the Coaches vs Cancer tourney a few years ago that the NCAA made us host in Birmingham?
