NIT Drops Eight Teams: The NIT will more closely resemble the NCAA Tournament next season because the field will include five rounds with 32 teams. That eliminates the somewhat-difficult-to-follow opening and first round format that the NIT has used for the past five years when the field included 40 teams. With a smaller field, an NIT bid will be more difficult to obtain, and increased competition should raise the value of the bids. For years, many teams and fans have considered the NIT to be a consolation tournament in comparison with the NCAA Tournament. [8/03/06]

The Seven C’s of Leadership
Former college basketball coach Mike Jarvis is back with a new book, The Seven C's of Leadership.
"Every one of us has leadership within us and this book offers fascinating principals that work in any setting—from the locker room to the executive board room. In The Seven C's of Leadership, Coach Jarvis lays out the essential ingredients of leadership."
-Jay Wright, NCAA Championship Men’s Basketball Coach, Villanova University
"At a time in America when we are witnessing an epidemic of opioid addictions and deaths, along with suicides, we need Coach Jarvis' Seven C's of Leadership – grounded in the power of Christ alone where we should all make our stand.”
-Lietenant Colonel Allen B. West (U.S. Army, Retired), Bronze Star recipient, and Member 112th U.S. Congress
"The Seven C's of Leadership is a slam dunk! Coach Jarvis has always been an outstanding leader because he has the ability to decipher what true leadership really means.”
-Dale Brown, Head Men’s Basketball Coach, LSU, 1972-1997, Member of the College Basketball Hall of Fame, and Shaquille O’Neal’s college coach
