Money Evidently No Object for Utes
So it turns out the College Basketball Invitational wants schools that play host to its inaugural tournament games to pay it $60,000 out of gate receipts, after a 50-50 split of that money with their opponents.

That requirement already has scared off Missouri, but evidently hasn't dissuaded the Utes.

Coach Jim Boylen has said the Utes will play in any tournament that will have them, and associate athletic director Pete Oliszczak told me again on the flight home today that the Utes are still waiting to hear from either the NIT or CBI after the NCAA Tournament is unveiled here in a little while.
