Separate Postseason Basketball Tournament
One could probably see this coming after the NCAA took over the NIT and cut the number of teams from 40 to 32. The Post reports that there will be a separate 16-team postseason event. I wonder whether there will be competition for teams between this tourney and the NIT.

Playing in Two Postseason Tournaments
This was even before my time but back in the early days of the NIT, it was viewed as a great opportunity to play at Madison Square Garden and I seem to recall reading that it was scheduled before the NCAA and that it was common for teams to play in both the NIT and NCAA.
The proposed 16-team tourney seems like a bad idea to me but I could see them competing against the NIT for teams.
